Take a listen to Teresa Tomeo and me. We chatted about the Faith and Our Lady of Fatima. You can tune in by clicking here and then scrolling to the 19.31 mark unless you want to start from the beginning of her show on Catholic Connection.
Enjoy!

Please Donna-Marie, continue to read more about Father Gordon and how his persecution and his witness, instigated by the encouragement of two faithful clergy, to help him navigate and retain and even strengthen his faith in that living purgatory; AND to be witness to what I consider a modern day window into the journeys of John the Baptist and all our preceding martyrs in prison, have incomprensibly, (because our great and wondrous I AM really is incomprehensible) spread over the entire globe…even WITH obvious attempts by in error clergy, by in error judiciary and in error social media censorship.
I just wrote a column on his blog subsequent to reading yours, moved to tears since I presently am exposed to yet another unjust imprisonment being imposed on another; and had been sharing YOUR story, both of your violation AND of your time with both Mother Teresa and Mother Angelica.
The fact that you now know of this priest and his ‘sacrificial priesthood’ is what moved me to tears.
As I wrote in my response, there is this and several other small but incomprehensible good happenings that give me hope that the trance/vision of Pope Leo that foresaw 100 years of horror overseen by the prince of darkness, is turning a corner and now we may be entering into the time of peace and hope that he also foresaw.
God bless you and your ‘yes’.

By the way, the very first I learned of Father Gordon was through a WSJ article by pulitzer prize winning author and columnist Dorothy Rabinowitz…it has to be well over a decade now. His story of grace under siege, of fear overcome through intercession by holy saints and of fruits borne of seeds planted is undoubtedly a glorious gift of God in our times.
I also ask that you pray for a Lomelie Hernandez, just falsely accused (the initial accusation was going to be retracted but the prosecuting attorney threatened to arrest them for perjury if they did) of rape and after pleading not guilty, though advised to and take a 10 year jail term, was sentenced to 125 years in prison with the judge promising to block any attempt for probation…with ZERO evidence. California. Need I say more?
by the way, both Bill Donohue and Raymond Arroyo have brought Father Gordon’s plight and his website patronized by Saint Maximillion Kolbe, Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Padre Pio, Saint John Paul II and Saint Faustina, thesestonewalls.com, to international attention.
Thank you again for your yes. You and Susan Conroy have both brought such grace and insight about Mother Teresa.
Thank you so much for writing. I will definitely read your comments more thoroughly as I have only just read them quickly to approve your comments. But, yes, I did delve deeper and was fascinated and also upset about what has happened to Fr, Gordon. Please stay tuned for a blog post I will write soon and you can copy and paste your comments and comment on the post as well where it would be more relevant. Thank you again. I will pray for the person you mentioned. I will post that new blog post in just a few minutes…I hope you’ll place these two comments on that post…God bless you!
