Saint Maximilian Kolbe - Pray For Us!
January 7, 1894 - August 14, 1941
"Immaculata, Queen and Mother of the Church, I renew my consecration to you for this day and for always, so that you might use me for the coming of the kingdom of Jesus Christ to the whole world. To this end, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day. Amen."
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you, and for all those who do not have recourse to you, especially the enemies of Holy Church and all those recommended to you. Amen.

Update, Prayer Need, & Financial Need: Canadian Catholic Newspaper - Catholic Insight
Dismissal of homosexual activist’s complaint against Canadian Catholic magazine appealed
"Writing in a July 4 editorial on the Catholic Insight web site, the magazine’s editor Father Alphonse de Valk said the “persecution” of Catholic Insight might not be over, reporting that judicial review of the complaint’s dismissal is possible if filed within 30 days. He said the magazine, which he described as being “of modest budget,” is still liable for $20,000 in legal expenses."

Saint Dominic, Priest - Memorial
A man who governs his passions is master of the world. We must either command them, or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.
-- St. Dominic

Prayer to Saint Dominic
Wonderful Saintly Founder of the eloquent Order of Preachers and friend of Saint Francis of Assisi, you were a fiery defender of the Faith and a fighter against the darkness of heresy. You resembled a great star that shone close to the world and pointed to the Light which was Christ. Help astronomers to study the stars and admire their wonderful Maker, proclaiming: "Give glory to God in the highest." Amen.

St. Ignatius of Loyola - Feast Day
(1491-1556)
Founder of the Jesuits
If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity. Saint Ignatius Loyola
St. Ignatius of Loyola - pray for us.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me. (refresh me)
Water from Christ's side, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
(from the malignant enemy defend me)
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee.
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels forever and ever. Amen.
(That with thy saints I may praise Thee)

In an interview with CNSNews.com, Daniel Wolter, director of the university’s news service, said that even though the link to Myers’ blog was, “a violation of university web policy,” the only action the university has taken is to remove the link from the university Web page. No disciplinary action is expected.
Jacqueline Johnson, chancellor of the Morris campus, said in a statement Friday that the university “affirms the freedom of a faculty member to speak or write as a public citizen without institutional discipline or restraint.”

Lambeth Conference: God help the church

[...]For this to be a reality, we must be honest about how deep some of the hurts and difficulties currently go; and we must refresh and reanimate our sense of what our Communion ought to be contributing to the whole ecumenical spectrum of Christian life. We cannot ignore the fact that what is seen to be a new doctrine and policy about same-sex relations, one that is not the same as that of the vast majority at the last Lambeth Conference, is causing pain and perplexity. We cannot ignore the pressures created by new structures that are being improvised in reaction to this pain and perplexity, pressures that are very visible in the form of irregular patterns of ministry across historic boundaries.
WHAT?!Someone once said about our Communion, in relation to its internal strains and differences, 'What an astonishing number of possibilities God has given you for loving strangers and enemies!' Can we echo that? If so, by God's grace, we have it in us to be a Church that can manage to respond generously and flexibly to diverse cultural situations while holding fast to the knowledge that we also free from what can be the suffocating pressure of local demands and priorities because we are attentive and obedient to the liberating gift of God in Jesus and in the Scripture and tradition which bear witness to him.
