Vatican City, Jan 18, 2017 / 04:10 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On Wednesday Pope Francis said hope in salvation is what leads us to turn to the Lord in prayer, trusting in faith particularly in moments when we are faced with the fear generated by death or injury.“Prayer brings you forward in hope and when things get dark, there needs to be more prayer! Then, there will be more hope,” the Pope said Jan. 18.Continuing his catechesis on the topic of Christian hope, the Pope reflected on the story of the Prophet Jonah and how his obedience, even if it came after he initially tried to run away from God’s request, helped to bring others to God through prayer.The passage from the Book of the Prophet Jonah, read during the general audience in the Vatican’s Paul VI hall, centered on when Jonah is in the boat trying to flee Nineveh.

Austin, Texas, Jan 18, 2017 / 12:40 am (National Catholic Register).- When it came time for medical student Ashley Stone to apply to OB/GYN residency programs, she was determined that nothing would stand in her way – including her Catholic beliefs on contraception, sterilization and abortion.“I’m normally really stubborn,” said Stone, 27. “[I thought] ‘It’s my right to go wherever I want.’”Still, she wanted to get some advice from her medical school program director before she turned in her application.“Here’s the thing: I don’t want to do these things because of my beliefs,” Stone told her director.“Well,” her director told her, “you can’t come here.”To be rejected out of hand by her own institution was frustrating, admits Stone, now a second-year resident at the University of Texas at Austin.
