Strength is born from struggle and, sometimes, in darkness, there is a divine gift not easily discernible. Such was the message delivered by Sally Robb at the 2016 Catholic Women's Conference.

En todas las demás diócesis por todo el mundo, incluyendo San Ángelo, las Puertas Santas se cerrarán el domingo, 13 de noviembre.
The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy will conclude worldwide on the Solemnity of Christ the King on November 20, 2016. On that day Pope Francis will close the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. In all other dioceses around the world, including San Angelo, the Holy Doors will be closing on Sunday, November 13.
Wow. What a month. What a year. Such vitriol in seemingly every corner of our daily existence, the banner of inelegance and the torch of bitterness carried by the very ones who would seek to lead us. It’s no wonder studies show we are more irritable, depressed, and angry these days. Heaven help us.
