The Tattoos of Oriental Orthodox Pilgrims to Jerusalem BYZANTINE, TEXAS - May 15, 2013 ... ritual. While Catholics can get a written certificate of their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Orthodox Christians opt for a tattoo, a permanent reminder of their visit.

Third Sunday of Easter PRINTED AS PREACHED - April 14, 2013 The pages of the Gospel are offered to us, not simply for insight into human nature. Using the language of symbols and sacred imagery, the Gospel provides us with a powerful reflection on the essence of Christ's holy Church, the direction the Church is going, and her mission. Remember! This is about us. This is about the family, our own family - a little "church". Through baptism, we have been baptized into a domestic family and universal family.
