Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

With the two latest things coming out from the Holy Father of late, I have had several friends (Catholic and not) ask me many questions about the faith. I'd love to be able to direct them to a holy, accurate website or two that they can peruse at their leisure.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Catholic Answers is amazing, I've never run into a question that can't be answered there.

Also, the Catholic Encyclopedia is great.

And Scripture Catholic is wonderful, too, particularly for the non-Catholics who ask "where in the Bible is that?" about every tradition of the Faith. It's also great for longtime Catholics to brush up.

This is another good site for inquiring minds. It is written in language that many non-Catholic Christians find easier to understand.

http://www.davidmacd.com/catholic/index2.htm

There are also online searchable versions of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/

and

http://www.scborromeo.org/index2.htm
(this one has many other resources, including Catholic Bible Study programs and some question and answer format pages about the faith)

Another good site to have on hand about Catholics and the Bible is the daily readings schedule, so that inquirers can see just how much Bible reading Catholics actually do.

http://www.usccb.org/nab/index.shtml

(The Bishops also have a podcast of the daily readings, which is nice just to have for your own family's use)

This last link is a PDF document for a pamphlet showing how the Mass is laid out in the Scriptures. It has to be printed out for easy reading, but is very thorough. The entire site has more of these available on a WIDE range of topics you might find helpful.

Prayers for you as you witness your Faith.

Mary
