Christ is risen and alive in this world today.

I saw that with my own eyes last Thursday. In the afternoon I was in Ogden, where a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe was being installed in the garden of Give Me a Chance, which provides services to low-income people, primarily women and children, to help them along the path to self-sufficiency and a better future.

Have you heard the story about the baptism of the Gauls? 

The Gauls were a feared warlike people who in ancient times inhabited what is now France and Belgium.  By the time of the Christian era they had been conquered by the Roman Empire and were supposedly under its control. The extent of this control varied, and there were numerous Gallic uprisings. 

Almost 16 years of having their first baby, Maria Monica Dueñas and her husband, Juan, were avid to have another child.

Not an easy task considering that Dueñas, who are parishioners of Saint Joseph Parish in Ogden, had problems conceiving.
