Making sense of U.S. immigration law, enforcement, and the current crisis by David R. Upham

Liturgy Training Publications

Going the way of Liturgical Press? The catalog from LTP increasingly reminds me of a catalog from Lit Press, as evidenced by the latest catalog for the latter part of this year, which features a few books from Lit Press (missals). What is the future of Hillenbrand Books? Is there really change afoot at Liturgy Training Publications? Does the publisher have anything to do with the Liturgical Institute, which has had its leadership changed by Cardinal Cupich, and seems to be moving away from tradition?

Gratitude

Rabbi B: "The Hebrew word for gratitude is 'hakaras hatov' which, when roughly translated, means 'recognizing the good.' Recognizing the good that someone does for us requires humility, a trait which doesn't come easy to the Gamma. Humility and gratitude do not come easy when you're a secret king who is convinced that he is not only superior to everyone else and misunderstood, he is also someone who people underestimate to their peril."
