On some of the months they say "National" and I assume they mean 'American' (unless it's about another country or they say otherwise); and on others they say "International," so I'll try to include those words (in case there's one that has both kinds of months).

I'm sure Heart of the Nation celebrates all those as they remember St. Katharine Drexel (on the third), St. Casimir (fourth), the second-, third-, fourth- & fifth Sundays of Lent, Sts. Perpetua & Felicity (seventh), St. John of God (eighth), St. Francis of Rome (9th), St. Patrick (17th),

... St. Cyril of Jerusalem (18th), St. Joseph (Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary ... 20th), St. Turibius of Mogrovejo (24th), and The Annunciation of The Lord (25th).

Heavenly Father,
in prayer I ask for help to be more pure of heart and holy, often unsure but willing to ponder with humility.

Believe the Lord, wellspring of truth. (John 4)

The name of the month "March" honors the Roman god of War, Mars. The word for 'the steady walk' comes from a wordroot that means "Marking a Boundary," or maybe one that means "Hammer" (for the Tramping Feet).

I am sure there are so many things to celebrate for the month of March. The only thing that runs into mind is to mourn for the death of granny aged 104 last March 7. Then, I am going to cook something special for my mom's birthday on March 29. Although we cannot celebrate it with her because she is in our creator now.

All the prayers of sympathy I can give you for those days, indeed; but ... it reminds me that I'm kinda wondering 'why Christians (et al.) get mad when they remember NEW YORK TIMES (echoing Nietzsche) seemingly announcing that "God is Dead."

Of course you've got the movies titled GOD'S NOT DEAD (two or three of them now), with the song by the same name; and you have The Bible itself (the place where we get God---and I know I should call him 'Yahweh' or 'YHWH' (because "God" is actually the name of 'the former angel who's trying to steal Yahweh's credit), but 'God' is the name that everyone uses)

... The Bible that says he is not the god of the dead but of the living.

But then Christians insist (at least to their children) that 'people who die go to be with god!' How can the dead be 'with him' if he-Himself is not dead?
