I am praying for the community in Clinton. <br /><br />Michael, I couldn't agree with you more. The Church will soon be in the catacombs in my opinion.<br /><br />Anonymous, the 20th century and early 21st century have indeed been the bloodiest. Have you ever visited the Voice of the Martyrs website? Although not Catholic, the organization does an excellent job of documenting the persecuted Church and encouraging those who are being tortured and killed for the faith.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-29359616464362836662009-06-25T11:04:33.363-07:002009-06-25T11:04:33.363-07:00Sanctus, thank you for that.

Ann Ball, the prolific Catholic author, was kind enough to send me (before she went to be with the Lord recently) a beautifully laminated prayer card with a sliver from Blessed Miguel Pro's coffin which she obtained from a Jesuit who is working on Blessed Pro's cause.<br /><br />I hope to have this with me when I offer my sacrifice.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-77173471202551985712009-06-25T10:54:29.265-07:002009-06-25T10:54:29.265-07:00I am going to share ths with my prayer group in Cl...I am going to share ths with my prayer group in Clinton.
