TMM: On Why I Prefer Monastic Retreats CONTEMPLATIONS AND MUSINGS OF THE OTHER JC - May 15, 2013 ... ACTS/Awakening/whatever retreat, but these are not for everybody. I mention this because my wife was throwing out some old stuff, and we came across the mementos of one or another day retreat which was, as I recall, somewhat sappy. And it brought back the amount of pressure put on people--and I'm talking here about even good people who are already quite involved in their church community--to go on whichever of the "movement" retreats happens to have taken root ...http://equusnomveritas.blogspot.com/2013/05/tmm-on-why-i-prefer-monastic-retreats.html

If you cannot find farmer's chesse and need to use large curd cottage cheese or ricotta, rinse the cheese with cold water and drain well in a fine colander. Ricotta might need to just be drained. Then take a fine mesh strainer and press the cheese through to make it finely sieved and ready to mix. I've had trouble over the years having the mixture drain well so it becomes firm.

Renaissance.] The call from his peaceful retreat at San Germano to the turmoil of Rome was unquestionably a call to the apostolate. On arriving there he set himself at once to win back the youth to Christ, but what weapons was he to use against the old pagan magic? He did not seem attracted by any of the more ancient Orders; though he was still friendly with the Dominicans who had brought him up, he was no more likely to join them than he was to yield to the invitation of the ...http://fatherdavidbirdosb.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-roman-socrates-st-philip-neri-by.html

It was my first time in prison and I was there to assist with a two-day Catholic retreat. Around the same time, I was also invited to a movie junket to Beverly Hills to watch a movie, meet the stars, network with others in the media, and then write a review. Since I still have children at home, I pace myself and didn't feel right about doing both. I love movie junkets, but I chose prison.

Initially, the archbishop will spend his nights sleeping in the refurbished convent now being prepared to accommodate Benedict and himself, while also working for the new pontiff.
