		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
After the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus, his mother lived with the Apostle John for about another 12 years.
On the third day after her death, when the apostles gathered at her tomb, they found it empty.
They understood that Mary’s body had been taken [...]]]></description>

Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani yesterday reaffirmed his government’s “obligation to strengthen the bond of love and promote culture of tolerance”.
He quoted a government decision to reserve a percentage of minorities in the government and said, “Extremism is a serious threat to the fabric of our society . [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pope Benedict XVI spent last weekend in Croatia.
He made it clear that he favours Croatia entering the European Union.
The Pope sees it as an opportunity for Catholic Croatia to help reverse the drift of Europe towards becoming a dreary flatland of secularism, materialism, relativism and atheism.
And he insists that there can be no absolute separation of [...]]]></description>

The fact is that only Jesus can solve the real problems of mankind.
All real problems of men derive from sin (disobedience to God).
Health disorders, material, economic and political troubles – even bad decisions by umpires – all these are only really problems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even the ruling classes, and the media with which they manipulate us, have a soft spot for Christmas.
They permit, in small controlled doses, some mention of “the true meaning of Christmas” – a baby born in a stable somewhere, choirs of angels etc.
The reason they tolerate it is that they do not understand it.

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian Retailers&#8217; Association reports that the 2010 pre-Christmas spending got off to a slow start.
Consumers simply have not been spending as much as expected.
Many were carefully seeking out discounted items.
Rainy days have been worst &#8212; making shop incomes patchy.
Will this apparent downturn be maintained? Or will there be a last minute catch-up?
Tricky question.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Sunday 28 November 2010, is the First Sunday in Advent.
“Advent” as in an arrival or a coming.
In Australia, by coincidence, we seem, this day, to be looking at the “advent” of a new Victorian Premier &#8212; the result of yesterday’s state election.

For Christians, however, today is significant as being the first day [...]]]></description>

He requested that Rosaries be said asking that Pope Benedict, together with all the bishops of the world, will consecrate the nation of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

		<description><![CDATA[The film, The Passion of the Christ, shows how Christ’s followers abandon him. Only his mother, the apostle John, and Mary Magdalene remained.
They scurried through narrow streets hoping to glimpse him.  He appears from behind the buildings ahead. Under his heavy cross he falls. Mary stops short, slumped on a doorstep, sighing in grief. She [...]]]></description>
