Bible books(s) read this week:

{Also,  inspired by something I read in 
"The Way of a Pilgrim," I now
read one full Gospel every day, dividing each Gospel into several portions}
I found that this doesn't work for me;
so now I'm going to read one Gospel
a week.

Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim 'safe and well' in US embassy

This is the latest news about Meriam Ibrahim.  I'm VERY thankful, but I think we should keep praying until she on
American soil.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
