The Resurrection & The Woman

Do you know who saw Jesus for the first time after He rose from the dead?  According to the gospel of St. John, it appears as though it was Mary Magdalene, one of the women who was standing at the foot of the cross when our Lord died.  (“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.”  John 19:25)

A 30 Year Journey

Last week I flew to California with Georgette and my daughters to attend the wedding of someone who is very special to us.  As you may already know, Georgette and I have 7 children – Harry, Anna, Maria, Laura, Mary Rose, Christine, and Teresa.  The wedding was on Saturday, June 18.  The groom was my son, Harry, and his bride was Kathryn Neill.

During the past few weeks there’s been an increase in the amount of calls to my law office from people who are in financial distress.  There’s a certain segment of the population that’s up against the ropes financially – people who are looking for a simple solution to their complex problems.

Mary - The Queen of Heaven and EarthIn 1985, I interviewed my grandmother, Cecilia LaHood, for an article I wanted to write about her life.  Her children were planning a big 75th birthday party for her (she was born in 1910), and I wanted to share her life story with everyone who attended the party.

Broken Catholic Marriages

Broken_MarriageAbout six months ago I got a telephone call from a man I’ve known for over 15 years.  He and his wife have been married over 20 years.  They have a large family with children in college, high school, and grade school.  The man told me he had recently moved out of his house and into an apartment and was going to file for divorce.  He had consulted with a family law attorney and didn’t like him, so he wanted to know if there was anyone I could recommend.
