Don't Worry--It isn't Terrorism?
From The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Online JS Online: Trains stopped, e-mail jammed:
"Malignant computer viruses halted CSX Transportation trains and slammed corporate and government e-mail networks across the country Wednesday as security experts scrambled to respond to the second major cyber attack in as many weeks."

Fr. John Bertolucci Fights Release of File
In two years of shocking revelations, this was probably the greatest. When one thinks of some of those who have fallen Father Bruce Ritter, Father Ken Roberts--Bertolucci's case still seems the most troublesome to me. The following story makes you wonder what is in his file that he doesn't want released?
Albany, N.Y. Timesunion.com:
A priest accused of molesting children is fighting the release of his personnel file during his 37 years with the Albany Diocese.
The file has become the latest skirmish in the legal battle between the Rev. John Bertolucci, once a nationally televised Catholic minister, and a man who claims Bertolucci molested him in the late 1970s.
The dispute over the file -- and how it is resolved by acting state Supreme Court Justice Christian Hummel -- may be a critical crossroad in a case that some say is as much about information and disclosure as money and justice.
A lawsuit alleges Bertolucci and other Albany church officials tried to intimidate the man from coming forward last year with allegations of sexual abuse, charges the Albany Diocese has vigorously denied.

The fourth variant of a worm first discovered in January appeared to be infecting PCs at the same rate as Tuesday, based on the number of people emailing the virus to anti-virus company Symantec, which has listed Sobig as a 'level-three' virus. Level five is the highest rating."

Stalking the Divine
One of our unplanned trips in Cleveland last week was a stop at a Poor Clare Monastery off of Rocky Ridge Rd. We made a short visit to pray before the Blessed Sacrament, mindful that on the unseen side of the altar a nun was praying around the clock. It is a comforting thought to think that these sisters pray for us, twenty-four hours a day.
In doing a little research, I discovered that there are two Poor Clare monasteries in Cleveland and that one has had a book written about it, "Stalking the Divine." For those interested in nuns who still look like nuns and still live a cloistered life in the twenty-first century this book may be for you:

Father Benedict's Rosary Book
I just finished reading Father Benedict Groeschel's Chain of Hope, his new book on the rosary that is published by Ignatius Press. As always Father has a slightly different take that makes reading about the most common devotion interesting and unique. He shares his experience of praying the rosary while entering the subteranean world of the New York subway system that he describes as richly apocalyptic (something that struck me as prophetic in light of last Thursday's black out and how it affected those depending upon that mode of transportation). He shares the experience of Mother Teresa's praying the rosary in times of darkness--in a word he presents the prayer of the rosary as a "chain of hope."
Somewhat strangely, the Luminous Mysteries are included in an appendix, I understand from my sources that the publisher doesn't quite buy their addition to the traditional mysteries and wanted them treated as something "extra." The meditations and the focus on the mysteries of light as a source of renewal within the church is both insightful and right on. Also included in the appendix is the Apostolic Letter on the rosary written by the Holy Father.
This book is different then the one that Amy and I have put together, ours is more of a "prayer book", this is more of a book about the rosary and a "meditation" book. But I highly recommend it to both the long time rosary pray-er and the novice.
