I can remember when the God fearing Californians promoted and passed Proposition 8. A ballot measure stating that Marriage can only be between a Male and Female. Finally, I thought that we God fearing people rose up and defeated Satan and there will be more victories to come. Unfortunately it got challenged as Unconstitutional by the State Superior Court and our hapless Governor at the time was Jerry Brown who refused to support it, so it went to the state supreme court and the ruling judge.(A homosexual) ruled against the proposition.

Eight years ago, Pope Benedict XVI shocked Catholics and the world by announcing his resignation — the first pontiff to step down in 600 years. Ever since, the spectacle of having two living popes, one “emeritus,” has led to constant rumors about his relationship with his successor, Pope Francis. MORE

The litany of St. Joseph, one of only six approved by the Church for public as well as private use, sums up qualities that made him such an important part of the Holy Family (pictured above).

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.
