Hey All--
It's amazing what they can do with modern technology. Check out the youth page on the St. Peter's website: http://saintpetercatholic.com/youth_ministry.htmThey've now got my face along with my voice on there, plus a blog! Special thanks to Darcy Bunn, who actually used to work at St. Peter's for all her efforts regarding this.
Pretty impressive stuff all that. And by the Grace of God, it will be another tool to help teens learn more about God and have their questions answered.

Question O’ the Week: "I've also been told that when you say, for example, the Rosary. When you say the devil will probably never be by you when you say it because he hates that prayer so much. Is it kinda the same when you wear a scapular or will he "bug" you more and tempt you more to get you to become farther away from Christ? "
-Indeed the devil hates the Rosary and he hates the Mass. He hates all things associated with God. And he will generally avoid situations where God is really present, like Mass or when you say the Rosary, or Holy Water. Why? Because the devil knows he is powerless against God. That's one reason why people generally try to have Holy Water in their home or a Crucifix in every room of the house. There's a story of a saint who was praying, the devil appeared to her..she threw Holy Water at him and he vanished.
-However, the devil also knows the best way to "get back at God" is to tempt away those who love God the most. So the saints and all who try to follow God the most, will be tempted, especially hard. But, always remember that God is more powerful and will give you all the help you need, as long as you stay close to Him.
