By Very Rev. Fr. Casimir Puskorius, CMRI
Almost every publication has expressed its view about this horrific day in the United States' history, and The Reign of Mary will say its piece as well. It is a day that dwarfs the orignal “Day of Infamy” of which President Roosevelt spoke....

The Power of the Rosary
A Sermon by Rev. Fr. James McGilloway, CMRI

The Importance of Family Prayer
From The Ear of God by Rev. Patrick J. Peyton
Practical science, if not all schools of philosphy, begins with the principle of cause and effect. Nausea, for example, is an effect of some upset of the digestive processes... which the physician must find in order to cure. But few of us ask where this principle begins to work, and fewer ask where it ends. And so we fail to diagnose correctly the worst illnesses of the modern world. And the sufferings of the world increase....

Soldier's Prayer Gave Solace to Millions in Battle
It was June 6, 1944 — D-day in Normandy. A Catholic chaplain crawled along the beachhead, administering to the dead, the dying and the wounded. On 30 of these men, the chaplain found copies of the same short, simple poem. Some of the dead clutched the poem in their hands. Dozens of copies of this same poem blew about on the debris-strewn sands....
The Five First Saturdays
