Hello Everyone,

Well I am safely back in the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix, Arizona) after two days of traveling on the road between Austin to Phoenix. I arrived back in Phoenix on Saturday afternoon and was greeted by a monsoon thunderstorm. It’s been great being home with family and friends so far and I look forward to more time with them and meeting new people. I just wanted to let everyone know that my short hiatus from my blog will continue till next Monday. I am looking forward to getting back to some writing, but just know that this week off will bring me back refreshed and renewed. Stay diligent and stay in prayer.

I encourage you to read or reread my posts from the past 6 months. If you are a new follower to my blog or a new follower on Twitter, please read some of my posts from February, March, and April. Since we are in the aftermath of the Fortnight for Freedom, I would encourage you to read my posts on Religious Freedom and Conscience Formation. I also write a lot on Blessed John Paul II and would like to see those posts read more. We need to look to him as our religious freedoms are threatened. He knew this subject well dealing with the Nazi’s and Socialist’s in Poland. On the right side of my blog you will find my tags for the posts. That is the easiest way to find subjects of the posts.

You are in my prayers this week. Please pray for me as well.

See you next Monday with the Blessed Mother.

In Christ,

Tom Perna
