Here's the deal. I'm on slow dial-up so I haven't really listened to this video myself. Also, my speakers are working intermittently and even if I wait nearly an hour for the video to download, I can't tell if the sound is of good quality.
I heard James Kilbane sing this on EWTN and was struck by it since we had visited Ephesus and Our Lady's house in Selcuk several years ago (BC...before children). All I remember is that Our Lady's house was so humble and so small. And, how the Muslim women had such a devotion to the Blessed Mother, much more reverent and respectful than the garish tourist group we were with.
The video also shows the final resting place of St. John, which is in the ruins of his church in Selcuk not too far from Our Lady's house.
To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.

"Even suffering is part of the truth of our life. Thus, trying to shield the youngest from every difficulty and experience of suffering, we risk creating, despite our good intentions, fragile persons of little generosity: The capacity to love, in fact, corresponds to the capacity to suffer, and to suffer together." ~Benedict XVI

Words of Father Corapi, for all my politician friends and relatives and those who vote for them
"Catholic office holders, whether presidents, senators, congress men or women, or judges at any level must adhere to Catholic teaching or run the risk of separating themselves from the Body of Christ. In such egregious and chronic cases of gross moral evil such as instituting and perpetuating abortion and the structures of sin that surround it, it is quite probable that such Catholic officials are excommunicated in virtue of the acts themselves. A latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication is likely triggered when they vote for laws, funding, and structures that enable and perpetuate such obvious and egregious evil (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons 1364,1398; Canon 1329, par. #2). They are in turn forbidden from approaching the sacraments as the result (Cf. Catechism of Catholic Church #1463)."
"It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever. Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that."
