An Introduction

"And the Pharisees and Sadducee's came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but not sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah." So he left them and departed." Matthew 16:1-4

This is the scriptural basis for this blog: The Signs of Jonah. Jonah represents Jesus and the sign of Jonah would be Christ's resurrection from the dead after just three days. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Mt 12:40).

I begin this blog as a sophomore in college, who is pursuing studies in Mass Communications, Political Science and Philosophy, as a way to improve my poor writing skills. I will blog on a variety of topics, including: Religion, Politics, the Media and the Culture, the Pro-Life movement, and other various topics.

You can expect at least one post a day except when I'm traveling. Additionally, this blog as it is called, The Signs of Jonah, is an effort to also blog about what I believe are "the signs of the times" or the way I would refer to it, "the signs for our times". In the scriptural basis for this blog, Jesus says that "an evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign." Jesus works daily signs and miracles in our livelihood, but people today still reject Jesus Christ and the gospel message while seeking signs or an affirmation to believe. Today, more than ever, these daily signs are coming from Jesus, the Church, the Blessed Mother, etc. Each week, you can expect a post on a "sign for the times" beginning first with the various Marian apparitions throughout time and their messages for us to return to God.

So if your ready to read the thoughts of a college student, if your ready to learn about the Signs of Jonah, the signs of our Resurrected Lord from a Catholic perspective, then sit back in your computer chair, add this website to your favorites and check back daily. Look for a commentary on current events with a Catholic bias.

Sincerely Yours,

Edward
