Article on Mother Teresa (Martina Niou)

Dear Friends,

I came across this article and found it really, really good and thought-provoking. You may already know this, but I never knew of the spiritual challengens that Mother Teresa encountered in her journey of faith. I must say that I now respect her even more. This article is a bit long but it's a worthwhile read.

God Bless,

New Vatican Website (Jenny Pama)

Dear Lighthouse,

On July 19 the Vatican launched www.vaticanstate.va, a new website in
Italian, English, French, German and Spanish. The Vatican's main
website is still www.vatican.va, but the new website, with live pictures from
five webcams, provides more info about the offices that help run the
State of Vatican, as opposed to the Church.

Internet users can join pilgrims praying at Pope John Paul II's tomb in the grotto

of St. Peter's Basilica. A camera high on the Vatican hill points toward the
dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Three webcams have been set up on the
dome itself: one looking at St. Peter's Square, another at the Vatican
Gardens and the third at the home of the new Web site, the Vatican
governor's office.

For more details, see news on CNS:
