Padre Pio

This blog is mostly about St Pio, but there are also some reblogs of posts I think are edifying or uplifting. I'm a student, writer, and community activist.

The Top 5 Ways to Make the Most of Long Drives

I am a technical service rep for a chemical company that specializes in surface finishing, specifically electroplating, for a wide array of different facilities. My territory includes mainly SC, NC, TN, and GA. I am sometimes required to travel to KY, AR, VA, MI, CT, MO, CO, and NE. As you can probably already tell by this seemingly interminable list of states, I am in my car quite a bit. If I…

Fire Balloons and Philosophy: Responding to Crisis

Fire Balloons and Philosophy: Responding to Crisis

The United States of America changed the world in August of 1945 and certainly changed the landscape of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The decision to drop atomic bombs, which killed 129,000 people, on the two cities has been one of the most hotly debated subjects since then. Interestingly, the U.S. remains the only nation ever to have used nuclear weapons in warfare. However, the Japanese claimed a bit…

Procession of Corpus Christi, Seville, Spain

Seville’s grand Corpus Christi procession features massive floats of Christ and its patron saints, including San Fernando, Santa Justa and Rufina, among others, in addition to the Blessed Sacrament, which is paraded in a magnificent monstrance the size of a man.

"Satan has spent the past 50 years diminishing the Church’s legions to little more than a bunch of Girl Scouts. Now that we are left in our weakened state, Satan seems to be calling out to deal the last blow..."

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Click here to support Seminary Fund by Reen Cristero

Michael Cunningham is a fourth year seminarian at the FSSP seminary in Denton, Nebraska. I am seeking assistance to help pay Mike's past due tuition of $6,000.00 and the $7,000.00 currently due. FSSP seminarians are required to pay a large part of their tuition. I first met Mike in the summer of...

Calling all traditional Catholics! This young man and his brother are good friends of mine and are such a great, faithful, pious Catholic family. As a Marine combat vet, I have to say his father served bravely as Navy Corpsman in Vietnam. We're so close to helping Mike with his tuition in the midst of his family's financial hardship. It would be great if we could all come together as Catholics and help these people. Please consider making even a small donation.
