We're still in the Season of the Resurrection, so it counts ;-)

I posted this, though, because of the relevance of his message. He expounded on this theme last night, when he appeared as the guest on Johnnette Benkovic's program on EWTN. Fr. Corapi spoke of the darkness of the world and cautions us to always look to the Light of Christ, or one risks being sucked into the darkness. Excellent show!

The following is another of his powerful messages (in .pdf format).

Death Wish! THE IMPENDING SUICIDE OF A ONCE GREAT NATION.

I have seen Fr Corapi on EWTN several times. His own personal story is amazing..
He is a man who was a soul survivor of his unit when in Viet Nam. Later he went to college and got his degrees in financial areas. For a number of years he was employed in NV as I think an auditor or some kind of function for the Gov at that time. Later he went on to CA and was involved in real estate..he became a millionaire and was in the company of some Hollywood types and eventually met up with a bad influence called drugs..Long story short, Fr Corapi ended up in the VA hospital for an extended period of time and then discharged. His mother sent him a ticket home and at some point with her influence he went to see a local priest who referred him to another priest too. He determined then he would become a priest. The second priest had his doubts about how successful Fr Corapi would be..well he was ordained in Rome by the Pope.
I was impressed when he told his history at one speech I saw on TV.He has been at the heights and he has been a bum on the streets..so he has the “cred” to talk the talk because he has indeed walked the walk on both sides of good and bad.

Don’cha’ love him! I missed him last night. Darn. I hope they do a repeat later this week.

for later, in keeping with my effort to make the most of Holy Week.

He’s going to be in Buffalo this Aug. 15th - I saw him in MA a few years ago, and he was great! There’s info at fathercorapilive.com (I know this sounds like a shameless plug, but there it is)

I would like very much to know the feelings of this good man of Christ on Obama speaking at the commencement at Notre Dame, given Obama’s statements on abortion. I’d bet he wouldn’t like what Father Jenkins has done, or rather is doing.

Absolutely awesome! This is the third time I have read this (I get his e-mails) and it is just wonderful.

I don’t know anyone else who hits the nail on the head like Fr. Corapi!

If I could only tell you how badly I have needed to hear this message recently. With everything going on around me, I have been having the worst breakdown you can possibly imagine.

I thank you for posting this. I think it may be time for me to take a retreat.

Father Corapi tells it the way it is.
