Have you seen the play or the movie "The Man For All Seasons?" In it, Sir Thomas More introduces us to a silence that loudly speaks the Truth. Does our silence or do our actions speak loudly? This Deacon Tom reflection invites us to consider Thomas More as we head towards Respect Life Sunday. This week, Sarah Reinhard challenges you to think of Mary as a blankie, and you’ll get some history of Our Lady of Walsingham too! (Note: much of this material originally appeared in Sarah's column on Our Lady of Walsingham at Today’s Catholic Woman.)

Founded in 2003, ENDOW has grown from an idea into an international women's ministry. Over 5,400 women have participated in ENDOW study groups in the last six years. How's this for being bold? Deacon Tom says he's doing a Plug for Jesus. What do you think? By the way, have you been to Adoration lately? This week, Sarah Reinhard has a prayer from Our Lady of Akita. You can learn more about Our Lady of Akita at the summary page at EWTN, or you can read about the miracles and drama in the more in-depth coverage at Mary Pages and Catholic Tradition.
