The Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of St. Paul are the teachings of Jesus lived by the disciples, exposed, adapted to the needs of the faithful, from those to whom Jesus entrusted the care of continuing His work: there is nothing more touching, more effective than this first commentary of the Gospel (ACV, 76).

The Devil's Brew???

I'm not, and never have been a big fan of coffee (I'm a tea drinker.), but this little bit of humor, courtesy of the Catholic

Company and it's new coffee line, made me smile on this gray and snowy/slushy day.  I thought I'd share. :)

Did you know that Catholics
have a long history with coffee? 

It doesn't go all the way back to St. Joseph, 
but it does go back hundreds of years. 

It was called "the devil's brew" until 
Pope Clement VIII declared 
in the 16th century...

"This devil's drink is delicious.
We should cheat the devil
by baptising it."After he gave it his blessing, coffee 
became a popular drink for many to enjoy.

Prayer for the Family

O God, Who has given us in the Holy Family of Nazareth a perfect model of family life lived in faith and in obedience to Your will, we thank You for our family. Grant us the strength to remain united in life, in generosity and in the joy of living together. Help us in mission of handing on the faith we received from our parents. 

Open our hearts to our children, so that the gift of faith they received in Baptism may grow in them. Strengthen the faith of our older children, so that they may grow in the knowledge of Jesus. Increase love and fidelity in all couples, and especially in times of suffering and difficulty. Grant Your grace and blessing to all the world’s families and bless especially our Holy Father N. with wisdom and strength. United with Joseph and Mary, we ask you to grant us these blessings through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
