In 2012 Pope Benedict XVI published an Apostolic Letter entitled "Porta Fidei" or "Door of Faith," announcing the beginning of the Year of Faith. It is my hope and prayer that this blog will be a portal for others to receive the Catholic faith into their lives and homes so as to carry out the new evangelization.

Church a mother not babysitter
Recently Pope Francis gave a homily at his daily Mass saying that if we Catholics do not proclaim Jesus with our lives then the Church becomes "not the mother, but the babysitter." A mother is someone who generates children but a babysitter just watches the children and puts them to sleep. We want to generate new disciples of Christ and children of God, our Father. We are all involved in the new evangelization. Just like the early Christians we have to be courageous and bold as we teach others about our faith and give witness to those around us of a life which is truly Christian.
