The Basics: Lord, Hear Our Prayer HAPPY CATHOLIC* - May 21, 2013 Somehow I got out of the habit of posting prayer requests. I myself would pray but just not share it. And I am sorry about that neglect because there is something to sharing prayer here that is good not only for those being prayed for, but for us as well. So I pick myself up and begin again. Let us pray ... Breton Girls at Prayer William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1904 via French Painters Thanks and gratitude ...http://happycatholic.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-basics-lord-hear-our-prayer.html

Miss Courtney is still sleeping, Jonathan and Jerry are at work and I have my iPod playing Audrey Assad quietly. I have said my morning rosary for your intentions and mine and I am typing this while sipping a delightfully glorious cup of coffee.

Curial Reform: Start From the Top FR RAY BLAKE'S BLOG - May 3, 2013 Simon Peter has a special role amongst the Apostles, he is charged with strengthening the brethren, with feeding the lambs and sheep. In the first ever infallible statement he speaks on behalf of the other Apostles, when they express confusion, he, speaking for them, says, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God". The immediate response of Jesus is "You are the Rock, on which I will build my Church". Even so Paul is willing to ...http://marymagdalen.blogspot.com/2013/05/curial-reform-start-from-top.html

He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.

Reading Our Way Into Catholicism CATHOLICMOM.COM - April 17, 2013 ... in the road of Calvary, as I learned and heard talk of the Stations of the Cross. I could see the contrast in Jesus still on the cross in the crucifix, and an empty cross such as is seen in Protestant churches. I read The Consolation of Philosophy , another Catholic book. This book was my departure from Calvinist thinking about Predestination. I started to see our free will and God's plan very differently after reading it. I was at a Protestant school where the Resurrection ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/rtVnkjqih_k/

If this church is not well made and is abandoned (without inward prayer), then the visible church will be of little benefit. —Archbishop Barlaam to Abbess M., Russia's ...http://fatherdavidbirdosb.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-inward-temple.html

No Child Is Ever "Unwanted" FIVE FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL - April 5, 2013 On one of the days I was up at the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil in Bedford Square with a friend this Lent I happened, as I walked back for the train, to see that the local pro-choice group had set up camp around the people praying. We stopped and had what proved to be an interesting (albeit short) talk about our differing views on abortion. Surprisingly we had more common ground than I had expected. She asked me why I was pro-life; my answer was that I did not believe that ...http://fivefeetabovesealevel.blogspot.com/2013/04/no-child-is-ever-unwanted.html
Thank You Pro-Life Action Ministries! CATHOLIC HOTDISH - April 4, 2013 It was one of those days. In the morning I had my eyes dialated. Driving was difficult.
