SAINT JOSEPH CATHEDRAL, MANCHESTER, NH FROM THE DESK OF FATHER ERIC This weekend we celebrate the glorious feast of All Saints Day. We honor the saints, those who have gone on before us, having lived their lives, endured their sufferings and trusted in God, now Our parish seminarians Ryan Amazeen, Michael Hennessy they enjoy the vision of God face to face. This is what we hope for ourselves. We live our Christian lives, striving for sainthood; Our service men and women in fact, we are called to be saints. It’s hard to be a saint in today’s Angela Averill, Charlie Biron, Roland Boisvert, III, world. We are faced with a multitude of challenges that try to tear Randy Donaldson, Jeffrey Michael Fredette, Travis Gelinas, us away from God, the Devil does not want us to be saints, God Michael Haas, Stefan Kammer, Richard LaSalle, Collin Locker, does, so they compete for our souls and, of course, we want God Matthew Lodge, Monique Martineau, Kyle Pelletier, to win. God usually does, but we have to make every effort to live Christopher Prunier, David Vallauri, Elizabeth Wagner, Richard in holiness of body, mind and soul. We all have a favorite saint, a Wagner, Thomas Wagner, Timothy Wagner, Ryan Williams friend in heaven to whom we pray, offering our prayers and they Our sick intercede for us. We light a candle, offer a novena, carry an image Lucy Barrett, David Bilodeau, Lori Bishop, Merin Blake, or wear a medal bearing their image. Perhaps we have gone on Ed Blais, Ethan Brown, Kevin Brown, Anne Foye Campaiola, pilgrimages to holy sites and we view the relics of a saint.

Like I mentioned before, we pray to the saints who Helene Nya, Judith Maurer, John Meehan, Lee Morin, intercede for us with our concerns, our needs and desires. With Joseph O’Sullivan, Monique Planchet, June Prunier, Roger Prunier, patience, we await God’s response. The saints indeed hear us and Megan Ross, Dolores St. Pierre, Colin Swegart, bring to God our plea, which brings us to our second theme, the Richard Walas, Dan Webb, Abigail Yeomans saints’ concern. They want to help and save us because they have shared in the same human experiences that we endure. They know EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT what it is to be in pain, to find themselves in hopeless situations, to pray fervently for the needs of others and to strive for holiness despite sinfulness.

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.

During his twenty- nine years as Bishop (1892-1921), McDonnell dedicated hundreds of churches, schools, and hospitals across Long Island. He founded Catholic Charities, started the diocesan newspaper, The Tablet, and welcomed many religious communities to the Diocese. As the Catholic population grew, Bishop McDonnell was concerned about further cultivating vocations to the priesthood. In the pages of The Tablet, he wrote: All of us are agreed, I believe, that we must take special measures if we would shelter those among our Catholic boys, whom their pastors and confessors would choose as probably called to the priesthood, and protect them from the modern materialistic spirit that pervades the very atmosphere… by placing them apart, educating them with those only who look forward to that same great work in life, the priestly field of labor… In 1891, Brooklyn’s first Bishop, John Loughlin, founded St.
