Epiphany

“Acclaimed authors Fr. Donald H. Calloway, MIC and Patrick O’Hearn bring the story of Knock to life for young readers, with beautiful illustrations by Ann Kissane Englehart.

Although many years have passed since Mary appeared in Ireland, the stories and memories of this Apparition continue to touch many lives. Her appearance shows us we are not alone. At Knock, Heaven is reminding us to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory since 100 Masses were offered for them prior to the Apparition. Mary wants us to keep our eyes fixed on the Holy Eucharist, the Lamb of God. When we receive Holy Communion, we are receiving Jesus. He is the true food for everyone who hungers for eternal life.”

Patrick O'Hearn is an author, speaker, and content creator. He served as TAN Books' acquisitions editor for two years and currently works as the Director of Ministry Expansion for Stewardship: A Mission of Faith. He grew up in the Midwest and spent close to three years in a Benedictine Monastery before discerning the call to marriage. He graduated with a master's in education from Franciscan University of Steubenville and a bachelor's in marketing from St. Ambrose University.

A national poll commissioned by the Concerned Women for America (CWA) regarding midterm election issues found wide support for fairness in women’s sports; an FDA requirement for in-person doctor’s visits to dispense the abortion drug; policies to make it easier for mothers to afford to stay home with young children; creating a marijuana roadside test, and wide opposition to gender transition services for minors. Additional poll data include results on prescription drug prices, the gender wage gap, and Netflix’s children’s content.

“Candidates running for office this year must recognize that voters are widely supportive of protecting women’s health, the ability to raise children, fairness in women’s sports, protecting children from gender transitions and from TV content with LGBTQ themes. We are encouraged by the poll results, especially in this politically divisive time. This poll should serve as a roadmap for conservative candidates,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America.

More than half of U.S. young men report feeling lonely or isolated at least some of the time, nearly half lack a sense of community, and many say the American dream feels increasingly out of reach, according to a report from the Institute for Family Studies.

The second installment of the institute’s “America’s Demoralized Men” study, based on a nationally representative YouGov survey of 2,000 men ages 18 to 29, examined young men’s social lives, mental health, civic engagement, and online habits. Researchers said the findings revealed a generation that still desires marriage, fatherhood, and meaningful work but often struggles to achieve those goals.
