Contact Steve

Dear Steve

Received a call from Mr. J. Ray. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CALL. As for the dates, I was looking on your site for dates, just to compare what does you would work for you and for us. Your e-calendar was giving me problems, it would malfunction.

The Months I would like to throw at you would be June, July, August, – Probably September or October to give us time to promote in our area, our cluster and throughout the New York area.

This would be the first time having this event, or in my experience my first time setting it up. Definitely will call to get more details. Your site gives me some leads. Did some research on the Hotel as the one you work with the most is just a 50 Blocks from our area – nearest to Laguardia Airport.

I am also connecting with my contacts to see if they will sponsor this event, so that we may provide the money in time for Steve’s visit.

Please send me an idea for Sept or Oct. that way I can present the plans to my Pastor. I am looking forward in hearing from you, and I hope before you get this email that I can call you.

God bless you and keep you safe.

Juan Rodriguez

STEVE ,

Dear Steve
I just read your article on the Epiphany. Yes Luke’s Gospel account of the Nativity is Mary’s recollection of events. I was looking up the ‘Black Madonna’ ‘Our Lady of Poland’ – St. Luke painted the portrait of Our Lady on a tabletop fashioned by Jesus in his carpenter days and while he was painting her, she recounted the whole story to him.

Quick question..
is the Hebrew root word for sheep pen the same as for the Holy of Holies?

I tried to analyze the two words in Hebrew and got nowhere.

Thank you.

Check out this amazing website which shows the scale of the universe from the smallest things we know to the unimagineably large. This demonstrates the power of God and helps poor sinners like me rememeber that without God I am nothing but a specle of dust.

Scientifically this is big news and could be of interest to some of your readers. In the Jan 2012 edition of New Scientist (magazine) it was stated that scientists are now facing up to the problem of the universe having a beginning – until recently they could postulate that it was eternal and the main theories to support this were “eternal inflation” and “multiverses”. However, as the article reports, the problem (for them) is that the equations didnt work when tested and they are now back where they started with a creation event!

The New Scientist article is here (but you will need a log in so i have pasted the article in full below)

Why physicists can’t avoid a creation event

The big bang may not have been the beginning of everything – but new calculations suggest we still need a cosmic starter gun. You could call them the worst birthday presents ever. At themeeting of minds convened last week tohonour Stephen Hawking’s 70th birthday- loftily titled “State of the Universe” – two bold proposals posed serious threats to our existing understanding of the cosmos.One shows that a problematic object called a naked singularity is a lot more likely to exist than previously assumed (see ” Naked black-hole hearts live in the fifth dimension”). The other suggests thatthe universe is not eternal, resurrecting the thorny question of how to kick-start the cosmos without the hand of a supernatural creator.

While many of us may be OK with the idea of the big bang simply starting everything, physicists,including Hawking, tend to shy away from cosmic genesis. “A point of creation would be a place where science broke down. One would have to appeal to religion and the hand of God,” Hawking told themeeting, at the University of Cambridge, in a pre-recorded speech. For a while it looked like it might be possible to dodge this problem, by relying on models such as an eternally inflating or cyclic universe, both of which seemed to continue infinitely in the past as well asthe future. Perhaps surprisingly, these were also both compatible with the big bang, the idea that theuniverse most likely burst forth from an extremely dense, hot state about 13.7 billion years ago.However, as cosmologist Alexander Vilenkinof Tufts University in Boston explained last week, that hope has been gradually fading and may now be dead. He showed that all these theories still demand a beginning. His first target was eternal inflation. Proposed byAlan Guthof the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1981, inflationsays that in the few slivers of a second after the big bang, the universe doubled in size thousands of times before settling into the calmer expansion we see today. This helped to explain why parts of the universe so distant that they could never have communicated with each other look the same. Eternal inflation is essentially an expansion of Guth’s idea, and says that the universe grows at this breakneck pace forever, by constantly giving birth to smaller “bubble” universes within an ever-expandingmultiverse, each of which goes through its own initial period of inflation. Crucially, some versions of eternal inflation applied to time as well as space, with the bubbles forming both backward .But in 2003, a team including Vilenkin and Guth considered what eternal inflation would mean for the Hubble constant, which describes mathematically the expansion of the universe. They found that the equations didn’t work “You can’t construct a space-time with this property,” says Vilenkin. It turns out that the constant has a lower limit that prevents inflation in both time directions. “It can’t possibly be eternal in the past,” says Vilenkin.”There must be some kind of boundary.”

Steve,
At this morning’s Mass at Holy Family in Orlando for the closing of the Fortnight we had all the priests (3 active and 1 retired) plus 2 Deacons celebrating. Awesome Mass! One of the deacons (a retired state appeals court judge) did the Homily and stressed how God is so centered in our nation and how important are this year’s elections are, (rare standing ovation after a homily). You would’ve love to have been there! Happy blessed 4th of July to you and your family. Thank you for all that you do!
God bless you,

PEACE! “Therefore, in order to say a little about this dark night, I shall trust neither to experience nor to knowledge, since both may fail and deceive; but, while not omitting to make such use as I can of these two things, I shall avail myself, in all that, with the Divine favour, I have to say, or at the least, in that which is most important and dark to the understanding, of Divine Scripture; for, if we guide ourselves by this we shall be unable to stray, since He Who speaks therein is the Holy Spirit. And if in aught, I stray, whether through my imperfect understanding of that which is said in it or of matters unconnected with it, it is not my intention to depart from the sound sense and doctrine of our Holy Mother the Catholic Church; for in such a case I submit and resign myself wholly, not only to her command, but to whatever better judgment she may pronounce concerning it. (St. John of the Cross, Ascent of Mount Carmel, Prologue, no. 2, p. I I in the E. Allison Peers translation, The Newman Press, Westminster, Maryland.)

Hi Steve,

I’m not sure if you keep up with boxing, but Manny Pacquiao, who was well known for being Catholic, was converted by Rick Warren. His conversion story from what I’ve seen, shows his lack of understanding of our faith and claims that Catholicism did not help him overcome his own sinfulness. Of course the media is eating this up and many anti-Catholics will be using this as ammunition.

The point I am getting to is that, I think that Catholicism doesn’t have enough of a strong influence in mainstream media, and the one Catholic who was very well known (for being Catholic) was converted. I would like to request that, maybe, you can approach him and talk to him like Rick Warren did. Manny, is after all, still a brother, and we cannot sit idly by while others like Rick Warren are converting Catholic celebrities.

Well, it’s only a request :D and I pray that God will guide you in your decision. God bless :)

Steve,
Just a comment about Petros/Petra. Maybe the Greek would approximate “You are Rochelle and on this rock …” when the gender slant would be more like ‘Rocky’ or ‘Rock’.

Bob Wait (a recent member of your Jan/Feb Pilgrimage)

just finished breakfast with the family after Easter Sunday mass at our Lady of Victory Basilica. during mass i thought of you and the great pilgramage to the holy land and wanted to say A BIG THANK YOU for guiding us and so many to and through the holy land! Happy Easter to you and your family

Last night, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a talk that St John the Baptist in New Brighton offered where I could hear Steve in person. What a thrill! He lays the truth out about the Catholic Church being the One True Church in such a simple-to-express format that now I can tell anti-Catholics, friends who have questions, and my soon-to-be daughter-in-law who came into the Church at this years’s Easter Vigil (who I was sponsor for) additional information about how fortunate and blessed she is to be in Jesus’ true Church. Thank you, Steve, for your gift and sacrifices to witness and explain our beautiful faith in an easy-to-understand, picturesque explanations of the Holy Land, and love of the faith to all of us. What a gift you are! I live about 45 minutes from New Brighton and really wish my parish would look into having Steve talk at our church as well! God Bless always!

Dear Steve,
Small Question – Is there mention in the Scriptures about the Birth Of The Muslim Prophet Muhamad ?

Thanks n God Bless Hope to see u again in Mumbai.
