General George Patton needed a miracle. In December 1944, the Allies found themselves stuck. Rain had plagued the troops daily since September, turning roads into rivers of muck, slowing trucks and tanks to a crawl. A thick ceiling of clouds had grounded American warplanes, allowing the Germans to reinforce. The sprint to Berlin had become a muddy, bloody stalemate, costing thousands of American lives. Patton seethed, desperate for some change, any change, in the weather.

But it was God's will that Mary had something to do with our Christian life, with our sanctification. It is a role assigned to her by God. In perfect union with her Son and subordinate to him, the Vatican II Council calls her "our mother in the order of grace" (LG 61). Let us not forget that Mary is the prototype of perfect consecration at the beginning of the New Testament. She was chosen to help us in our consecration through her ...

There are two evils that plague this generation, and both have to do with prayerlessness. The first is the prayerlessness that comes from failing to pray, and the second is the prayerlessness that comes from failing to pray in prayer. ---Cyril Opoku See what sad things prayerlessness has done! The Church that is, is not the Church that was. And the difference is one: PRAYER. They were uneducated men, and far from being experts in the Torah.
