Cross of a Different Kind: Cancer & Christian Spirituality
By Prof. Anthony Maranise, Obl.S.B.
The city of Memphis (in Tennessee) sometimes gets a negative ‘rep’ from people outside her limits. However, if for no other redeeming quality (even though I believe there are many), Memphis itself deserves respect for being home to a continuous-miracle.

Do You Have a Devotion to Our Lady of Cana
By Larry Peterson

By David Torkington
My school report was so bad that my eldest brother was commissioned with the task of teaching me to read. But when he could not even manage to teach me how to read the Beano, he resigned his commission and commended me to St Jude of hopeless cases. But even St Jude failed.
