I did something stupid — I updated the BIOS on my computer’s motherboard thinking it would solve a problem with my CPU fan. As a result, my computer blue screened at Windows start up. So I was without a functional computer for over a week resulting in lost productivity and a lot of frustration. For those who […]

I have a feeling this year’s presidential election is going to get much uglier than in years past. Politics has always been a dirty business, but lately everyone seems to act so much more “unhinged.” People are expressing the slightest disagreements with such high levels of vitriol and anger. Looking at some peoples’ reactions, supporting

Last week Obama declared that all health care providers must cover contraception regardless of their moral objections. That’s it, no discussion, no conscience clauses, nothing except a token stay of execution. Laws that reflect and respect morality are on life support and the government is looking to euthanize them. I wish I could say that

Do you have a plan when you pray the rosary and for incorporating what you learn from prayer in your life? Do you pray with purpose? I thought about how I pray the rosary while thinking about the three magi honoring Jesus in the Epiphany. The three wise men didn’t just set out into the

I just heard an interesting Italian legend about La Befana. She was a woman (or a witch in some accounts) who was approached by the Three Magi on their journey to see the baby Jesus. She gave them shelter and food as she was known for being a great hostess. When the three magi invited

Full of meditations, intentions,

The weather is turning cold and crisp. The leaves are falling off the trees. Houses are lighted up in the evening. It’s official. Christmas is here. And most of us have a “todo” list a mile long. There are gifts to buy, travel plans to make, decorations to put up, and a ton of other

I listened to Ave Maria radio on my drive home from work the other day and had a chance to listen to a replay of a talk given by Al Kresta, host of “Kresta in the Afternoon.” His talk is titled “The History of Dissent in the Catholic Church” and he takes a very high

You have to love our German Shepherd, Pope Benedict XVI. Last week he traveled to Germany and delivered some great speeches and homilies. What I like about the Pope is that he tells things as it is and teaches the Catholic faith even if it runs contrary to the norms of modern society. And unlike
Previously I said how articles on RosaryMeds would tie together news and current events with the rosary. I talked about the Pope meeting with young seminarians, a recent announcement from English bishops reminding people to abstain from eating meat on Fridays, and some tips for people going to college. However, not all news is neutral
