Fr. James Martin, SJ Can't pray? Try some music....Here are two groups--Gloria Dei Cantores and Schola Ministries, whose music really helps when you're stuck...or even when you're not!

He was an S.G. as soon as his "cause" was approved by the local bishop and sent on to the Vatican...a few years ago, as I recall.

Fr. James Martin, SJ For those who read my homily on All Saints Day, on the occasion of Final Vows (see "Notes") where I talked about climbing the ladder to see the saints in St. Francis Xavier Church, here's a photo (sent by my friend Jackie Perez, alongside a friend of hers) of those saints. Dazzling!

Dear Jackie,
All things are possible!! Thanks for the amazing photo. At least you had the good sense to bring a camera!
Dear Ron,
I'm so glad that you went. Can't wait to see it sans scaffolding, too!

Hi Father! I did have my little digital camera but this picture was taken by Carlos Martin on his really good camera. He's been archiving the entire process which you can see if you sign up for the the Xavier FB page at Church of St. Francis Xavier. Carlos has taken some really amazing shots!

The word “authentic” pops up a lot these days. Out in the general culture, people recognize that integrity is important. We value honesty, even if it comes in the form of brutal confrontation on a reality TV show.

My husband Tom and I recently bought a book for our 3 year old grandniece, Bella. It is Brother Wolf, Sister Sparrow: Stories About Saints and Animals, retold by Eric A. Kimmel. It uses Butlers Life of the Saints as a source. It is beautifully illustrated by John Winch. Of course I am not the tiniest bit prejudice,... but Bella, who is also our goddaughter, is special. On the day of her baptism most of the other babies cried when the priest poured water over their foreheads. Bella smiled!!!! Anyway, this book is beautiful, and we can't wait to read it to Bella. We live on one coast, she on the other, but she and her daddy and mommy will be with us for Christmas. Hooray for goddaughters and saints!!!Read More

She is a joyful and happy child, and very social. She loves the Exchange of Peace at Mass.

Oh Father Jim - Jim and I never made it to NYC Nov 1 but our friends were there - not knowing what was going to be there FOR THEM TOO!!
She said people were cheering and crying!
A moment I would have given anything for - but the body doesn't always cooperate!
