He sold his $8M Bugatti to build a Catholic City (and a Church, and a university!)
Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza and became a billionaire. He bought yachts, private jets, and the Detroit Tigers.
Then he read C.S. Lewis and had a massive reversion to his Catholic faith. He took a "millionaire's vow of poverty," sold the Tigers, sold his fleet of classic cars (including a $8M Bugatti), and gave away his fortune.
He used the money to build a Catholic university (Ave Maria) and a massive Church in Florida.
He proved that you can serve God or Money, but not both. But he also proved money is not evil, and as any tool can be used for good in the right hands.
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided."
Christopher, a social media influencer and cancer survivor with more than 150,000 Instagram followers, has announced that he is leaving his career to pursue a vocation to the Catholic priesthood.
Behind each Priest ,there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them ,we must have twice as much to pray for them

Say This Prayer to Mary.......
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may always invoke your most powerful name, the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O purest and sweetest Mary, may your holy name ever be on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to come to my aid whenever I call upon you, for in all my needs and temptations I shall never cease to call on you, repeating with confidence your sacred name:
Mary, Mary.
What consolation, sweetness, confidence, and joy fill my soul when I pronounce your holy name or even think of you. I thank God for giving you to me, and for granting you a name so sweet, so powerful, and so lovely. Yet I will not be content merely to speak your name; rather, let my love for you move me always to honor and greet you as my Mother of Perpetual Help.
Hear now my prayers, particularly (mention your petitions).
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Our Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us. Amen
Our Lady, Undoer of Knots,
Undo the knots of problems, financial constraints and worries , tormenting, frustrating and paralyzing our lives, hearts and homes. Amen
What if your phone bill could help save souls?
Every month, millions of Catholics pay their wireless bill to companies that don’t share their values.
Now there’s another choice.
iCatholic Mobile is America’s Catholic wireless provider—offering reliable nationwide 5G coverage, unlimited talk and text, affordable plans, and U.S.-based support.
But here’s what makes them different:
A portion of every dollar you spend helps support Catholic media, faithful priests, and religious communities dedicated to spreading the Gospel.
Same great service.
Greater purpose.
If you’re going to pay for a phone anyway…why not let your phone bill work for Christ?

America’s 250-year history is momentous and profound, yet chaotic and imperfect, marked by the women and men who labored to create a land of liberty.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, the only Church-approved Marian apparition in the United States, has created an opportunity for America’s Catholics to see the faces of the holy women and men who have been a light in America’s darkest hours.
Here are four of America’s holiest women and men all U.S. Catholics should know about:

Jesus revealed his Sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in several mystical visions between 1673 and 1675.
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was a French nun of the Order of the Visitation of Our Lady. Jesus appeared to her four times in Paray-le-Monial, France, revealing his love for humankind through His Sacred Heart. The Catholic Church celebrates her optional memorial on October 16.
Below are excerpts from the four revelations in St. Margaret Mary Alacoque’s autobiography:
1. (Dec. 27, 1673)
“My Divine Heart is so inflamed with love for men... It must spread them abroad by your means, and manifest Itself to them (mankind) in order to enrich them with the precious graces of sanctification and salvation.”
“My well-beloved, I give you a precious token of My love... As a proof that the great favor I have done to you is not imagination... If before, you have taken only the name of My slave, I now give you that of the beloved disciple of My Sacred Heart.”
2. (July 2, 1674)
“The Divine Heart was presented to me in a throne of flames, more resplendent than a sun, transparent as crystal...”
“My Divine Master revealed to me that it was His ardent desire to be known, loved, and honored by men...”
“He promised to pour out into the hearts of all those who honor the image of His Heart all the gifts it contains in fullness.”
3. (July 1674)
“Opening it, He showed me His loving and lovable Heart as the living source of those flames.”
“‘This is more grievous to Me,’ [Jesus] said, ‘than all that I endured in my Passion... But they have only coldness and contempt for all My endeavors to do them good.’”
“You are to receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of each month...”
4. (June 1675)
“Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going so far as to exhaust and consume Itself, to prove to them Its love,” [Jesus said].
“Therefore I ask of you that the first Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi be dedicated as a feast in honor of My Heart...”
“‘I promise you that My Heart will open wide and pour forth lavishly the influence of Its Divine love on all who will render and procure for It this honor.'”
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You!

You and a fellow Protestant both read the same Bible, both pray sincerely for the Holy Spirit's guidance, and yet come to opposite conclusions about a doctrine that cannot be true both ways, such as baptismal regeneration. Which of you is mistaken? How would either of you know? And if both of you appeal to Scripture alone to defend your conflicting interpretations, what authority outside your own private judgment can definitively resolve the dispute?
The Sagrada Família in Barcelona has 18 towers. Twelve represent the Apostles, four symbolize the Evangelists, one is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the tallest central tower represents Jesus Christ.
The image of the Virgin Mary near a private school in General Santos City remained unharmed after the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck on Monday, June 8.
