Worth his weight

I came across this rather impressive Coptic priest (as I'm sure most of you have done) thanks to the Pastor in Valle and a link from Cornell Society. How refreshing. He may not be in full Communion with the Holy Father, but he doesn't hesitate to make the teaching of the Gospel known, nor to dither about claiming that he isn't interested in converting non-Christians. A man who loves souls and won't hesitate to stick his neck out for Christ-now that's ediying. Let's pray for him!

A new church in the Middle East

Good news for our brethren in the Middle East (hat tip to New Advent). May I suggest that nearer the time, we begin a novena for their intentions?
