Fr. John and Jen share some personal experiences, wisdom from saints and insights into how they both became converted to the power of the Rosary later in life. Through the ages, saints have pointed to the importance of saying the Rosary, but why? What can it teach us today, and how can we make the most of this spiritual practice in our lives.

Jen speaks with Brian Caldwell, Director of Family Life Office at the Archdiocese of Newark, and Adjunct Professor at Caldwell University (no relation) about the importance of making faith an integrated part of family life, and not just an add-on once a week for an hour on Sundays.
\nBrian oversees the work of the Pre-Cana marraige prep for those beginning married life as well as the anniversary masses that honor couples who have had seen their unions last the test of time.
\nBrian is a husband and a father of three, and shares some insight into the ways in which he and his wife's dedication to eachother and their willingness to keep an open dialogue with their kids has helped them to tackle the big events and the in-between times of life.

Jen speaks with Sister Marie Pauline Demek, SCC, President of Assumption College of Sisters in Denville, New Jersey about the work of Evangelization accomplished at ACS as springing from the founder of the Sisters of Christian Charity, Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt. Blessed Pauline's Eucharistic devotion spurred her to a lifetime of serving Christ in each person through compassion and education of the poor and needy. Her legacy is manifest today in the College's mission to educate women to a life of Consecration to God for the building up of communities throughout the world.

This year, Christians observe Ash Wednesday as secular society celebrates Valentine's Day. The paradox of these two celebrations can help us understand the consolation of God's mercy. We give a brief history of the season of Lent, some biblical and liturgical considerations we will encounter, and the ways in which we can enter deeper into our journey toward an Easter of transformation.
\n\nThree times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Poem - Christina Rossetti - (1830 - 1894) - A Baby is a Harmless thing - https://tinyurl.com/5y7x9ava
\n\nA baby is a harmless thing
\nAnd wins our hearts with one accord,
\nAnd Flower of Babies was their King,
\nJesus Christ our Lord:
\nLily of lilies He
\nUpon His Mother's knee;
\nRose of roses, soon to be
\nCrowned with thorns on leafless tree.
A lamb is innocent and mild
\nAnd merry on the soft green sod;
\nAnd Jesus Christ, the Undefiled,
\nIs the Lamb of God:
\nOnly spotless He
\nUpon his Mother's knee;
\nWhite and ruddy, soon to be
\nSacrificed for you and me.
Nay, lamb is not so sweet a word,
\nNor lily half so pure a name;
\nAnother name our hearts hath stirred,
\nKindling them to flame:
\n'Jesus' certainly
\nIs music and melody:
\nHeart with heart in harmony
\nCarol we and worship we.
