Letter to the Editor, My Grande, not Gordo but, Fabuloso Mexican Wedding Missy can sense the excitement as her family is getting ready for María and Mario’s wedding ceremony at Holy Family Church.  Kitty Peaches and Puppy Pilot can also sense the excitement as they are scampering up and down the hallway.  Dad and Junior are in the den. Mom is in Missy’s room. Missy affectionately inquires about her mother’s wedding day.  This is the same story that her mother has told Missy ever since Missy was old enough to ask questions. “Well, I woke up, or rather should I say I got out of bed, because I don’t think I slept the whole night.  I sat in my chair as I do every morning and I prayed my Rosary.  I wasn’t really hungry but I knew I had to eat something so I wouldn’t faint.  Everything seemed so normal and regular but I knew that that day would forever change the rest of...

It was revealed to her by Jesus in a private revelation that is fully approved by the Church. The message of Divine Mercy is not something that is new or additional to the Gospel message. In fact, it is the same core message presented in a particular way with a few new devotions. This novena is one of those devotions. St. Faustina reports in her diary that she transcri...

Letter to the Editor, First Easter Bunny Tale After attending a beautiful sunrise Easter service, Mr. Tibbar and his rabbit family from Texas and Sr. Ojenoc and his conejo family from Coahuila gather atop Amistad Dam to hear Grandpapa tell them the traditional Easter Bunny tale. We’ve just heard the song with the lyrics “Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Were you there when the stone was rolled away?”  Well did you know that there were bunnies at the very first Easter?  Their names were Jeru and Salem, the Rabbits from Jerusalem, who were hopping inside a sepulcher in a garden near a place called Calvary.  It was Saturday and suddenly they see two men carrying a body wrapped in cloth and laying it on a slab of rock.  Outside the sepulcher they see soldiers and well dressed men roll a massive stone in front of the sepulcher where they are staying.   Jeru and Salem are s...

Letter to the Editor, Hillary and the Three Elephants Once upon a time, there was a little old woman named Hillary.  She went on a power-walk throughout the Country and came upon the White House.  She frantically forced her way inside. At the Dining Room Table, there were three bowls of Crow Stew.  Hillary was enormously power-hungry.  She tasted the Crow Stew from the first bowl. "This Crow Stew is too hot!" she yelled. She tasted the Crow Stew from the second bowl. "This Crow Stew is too cold!" she scowled. She tasted the last bowl of Crow Stew. "This Crow Stew is just right!" and she slurped it all up. After she'd eaten the entire bowl of Crow Stew she was feeling a little tired.  She walked into the Oval Office and saw three Executive Chairs.  Hillary sat in the first Executive Chair.    "This Executive Chair is too big!" she shouted. She sat in the second Executive...

Letter to the Editor,  Box-Office Hits: Faith-Based, Family-Friendly Movies You've heard of the celebrity news program "Entertainment Tonight", well this is a segment from "Entertainment for Eternity" with hosts Antonietta Brown and Henrietta Barro-Cazar discussing values-based movies again scoring big in 2015. Antonietta: Movieguide has just released the findings of a comprehensive study of the box-office results and content of last year’s movies and found that, once again, movie-goers prefer wholesome messaging in their entertainment. Movie-goers continue to prefer movies with strong conservative values over films with more liberal themes; by a margin of more than 12 to 1! Henrietta: Movieguide reports that of the 275 films reviewed, movies with strong pro-American, patriotic, capitalist, anti-socialist, anti-communist content and values made much more money per movie than movies with anti-American, anti-pa...
