Almighty God, our heavenly Father, let thy protection be upon all those who are in the service of our country; guard them from all harm and danger of body and soul; sustain and comfort those as home, especially in their hours of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow; prepare the dying for death and the living for your service; give success to our arms on land and sea and in the air; and grant unto us and all nations a speedy, just and lasting peace. Amen.

Acton University describes itself as "a unique, four-day exploration of the intellectual foundations of a free society. Guided by a distinguished, international faculty, Acton University is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge and integrate rigorous philosophy, Christian theology and sound economics."
The American Papist attended the 2007 Acton University conference this year. For those not as lucky (like moi), the Acton blog has kindly made available the lectures in mp3 format:
Listen to Stephen Haessle on "Basic Principles of Catholic Social Teaching"; Dr. Jay Richards on "A Proper Christian Approach to the Environment"; "Pope Benedict XVI and His Vision for Europe", by Dr. Samuel Gregg; "Market Economics and the Family," by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, and more . . .
Also, E. Calvin Beisner posts a massive Environmental Stewardship News Round-Up to the Acton blog. Lots of stories to read, and judging by the subjects I'm sure will send the comments flying. Check it out. =)
