"What is urgent is the evangelization of a world that not only does not know the basic aspects of Christian dogma, but in great part has lost even the memory of the cultural elements of Christianity."
                              Pope John Paul II

Betrothal
 

O, my Beloved

How shamelessly

I have presumed to take Thee unto me!

... Because Thou first had taken me to Thee,

If I am speechless, reckless,

 in my breathless love ...

Too great, too great!

It sunders bosom, breast,

And takes this heart from out of me!

Lest I should die, seize Thou this shattered heart

Breathe once the whispered knowing of my love.

... I am a fool ... and would you love me still?

Do not tell me, either way lest I

In knowing, surely come to die!

 

                                                                                                           

"In 1970, a pilgrim visiting the Shrine of San De Marco, Italy, received a vision of a woman who told him to take a picture of the setting sun. Having a simple Polaroid camera, he only saw the sunset when he snapped this picture. When the picture was developed, this image of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared (note the sunset at the lower right of the picture)." This image was taken from a home-made Christmas Card, and scanned December 24, 1997.
