The 49th International Eucharistic Congress is currently being held in Quebec, Canada. The theme of the weeklong (June 15-22) assembly is “The Eucharist, Gift of God for the Life of the World.” The program of activities includes a mix of artistic and religious celebrations, workshops, symposia and catecheses.
The organizers have created a media portal where visitors can follow the Congress live via streaming media. Videos of the liturgical celebrations, homilies, conferences, testimonies and other important events are available for free. A number of documentaries are also included in the list of videos for online viewing. It is best to start with the “Just Added” folder because it contains the latest video resources.
The text of the multilingual Congress theme song can be downloaded in PDF format but you have to visit this page to listen to the audio. You can also listen to a good number of Gregorian chants recorded for the Congress here. The Theological Document prepared for the Congress is available in seven languages and can be downloaded from this page.

While I was watching the men put plate after plate of weights in this invisibleSHIELD video, I thought to myself: I sure don’t want my iTouch down there.
But at the end, I was wondering if all of that was just a trick. Or were all the weights for real? It’s almost unbelievable how a thin film could withstand the 1000-lb weight.
But if it’s all real weights, then I must say that that’s one tough film.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –
Yes. We. Can.

Rihanna is one of the most gorgeous women I’ve ever seen in Hollywood. She’s not actually very beautiful, but she’s extremely appealing. The way she carries herself makes her really sensual and truly sexy.
Here’s Rihanna performing in the 50th Grammy Awards. She sang Umbrella and Don’t Stop the Music. She was nominated for Album of the Year, but eventually lost to Amy Winehouse.

Paris Hilton just got grilled by David Letterman, and it was her saddest day.
Okay, here’s my two cents’ worth: if it’s really over, then it could have never affected her one bit, right? And I’d say given the reputation of David Letterman, she could have at least expected it. Moreover, it would certainly be more self-redeeming if she just matched Letterman’s candidness with her “wit.”
In this world where even your littlest mistake is rubbed into your face, it pays to be real tough and gracious.

Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna. Im watching Jesus Christ Superstar for the nth time while I am writing this. I can't help but hum that song. But there is another reason why I'm singing Hosanna – it's the launch of CBCP's video blog.
Yes, I'm referring to the Catholic Bishop's Conference of the Philippines. The CBCP Media Office has recently launched its own YouTube page: www.youtube.com/cbcp. What does it offer? The Easter greeting and homily of His Eminence Cardinal Rosales. There is also a series of videos about Holy Week liturgies, customs and practices. It also offers various links to videos from other Catholic sources from the Philippines and from around the globe. Continue Reading »

Mother Teresa says that the greatest poverty today is not material poverty. Material poverty can easily be satisfied with material things, she stresses. Being unwanted, unloved, uncared, forgotten, and lonely is a much greater poverty. Thus for her, the greatest suffering and poverty today is the torture of being unwanted and rejected.
The challenge is for us to give our attention and care to people who may feel lonely and abandoned. We can start in our own homes or in our own workplaces. It doesn't have to be overly dramatic, it can be as simple as "hi, would you like to have coffee with me this afternoon?" There is always that somebody who needs our our time, our smile, our understanding heart. Be the reason for somebody to feel good about him/herself today.
