Peace is the first thing the angels sang. Peace is the mark of the children of God. Peace is the nurse of love. Peace is the mother of unity. Peace is the rest of the blessed souls. Peace is the dwelling place of eternity.

Saint Francis Cathedral invites Catholic men to attend the “Renewal of Hope” Men’s conference on November 15 th to strengthen their life, family and community.
“There is an awful lot of insecurity and nervousness and second guessing among good parents. Whether you are a parent or a grandparent, I'm going to give you a sense of standing strong against the culture no longer on your side. As faith filled men, we’re going to have to go against the culture to raise the kind of kids or grandkids that we want to raise. To make my point I use comedy because good comedy will leave the
audience saying, oh, okay, I can relate to that. It may be an exaggeration of a reality, but there is a lot of truth in comedy. So, I will use it to relate, then follow it up with the points I am trying to make to the guys.”
Dr Ray Guarendi is a Catholic clinical psychologist, author and host of “The Dr. is in” on Sirius XM and “Living Right With Dr. Ray” on EWTN

After this I had a vision of a great multitude,
which no one could count,
from every nation, race, people, and tongue.
They stood before the throne and before the Lamb,
wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.
They cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne,
and from the Lamb."- Revelation
