The Distracting Prayer of the Faithful MUSINGS OF A PERTINACIOUS PAPIST - May 16, 2013 ... SPIRIT OF THE Reform of the Reform, one might well question the role of the Prayer of the Faithful (or General Intercessions) in the new Mass. A motley collection of petitions, usually poorly written and even more poorly read, disturbs the natural flow of the liturgy as it proceeds from the readings into the Profession of Faith, which is the natural response to God's revelation of Himself, and into the Offertory. The homily already threatens to disturb the ...http://pblosser.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-distracting-prayer-of-faithful.html
Invoking the Trinity for Someone CATHOLIC SENSIBILITY - May 16, 2013 ... On that last bit, I don't know that it's a guy thing as much as a me-thing. I remember reading somewhere early in my Catholic life that God knows what we need before we utter it as a request: Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely. (Psalm 139:4) A few times, when someone has asked me to pray for them, and I've neglected or forgotten, a bad thing happens. They come to me and thank me for my prayers. I figure God is timeless in a sort of science fiction-y time travel ...http://catholicsensibility.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/invoking-the-trinity-for-someone/
Catholic Church Seeks to Regain Power in Philippines CLERICAL WHISPERS - May 8, 2013 ... of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines' commission on family life, blamed mass media and the Internet for weakening church influence on Filipinos. "Just imagine what they hear or what they read: the values or lack of values they imbibe. They go to church only once a week... but compare that to the time they spend on the Internet or with traditional media," he told AFP.

In true and serious cases of domestic abuse the potential victim (Usually, but not always, women) should be advised to also obtain a license to carry concealed weapons, obtain a concealable handgun, learn to use it (At the usual short range of related shootings) AND carry that weapon, knowledge and intent where ever they go.

Prayer Must Include All A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY - May 6, 2013 ... am disappointed that during Prayer of the Faithful at Mass, petitions on behalf of our enemies and those who suffer the most in the world are not heard. For example, shouldn't we pray for all those contemplating suicide bombing, the innocent victims of all bombing attacks, and even the recent surviving Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? Praying for them is not being unpatriotic; on the contrary, not praying for them is ignoring the ...http://journeyofimperfectsaint.blogspot.com/2013/05/prayer-must-include-all.html

A Huge "Thank You, Lord" and a Happy 14th Birthday Wish for Our Beloved Alyssa GOD IS AT WORK IN YOU! - April 30, 2013 ... Communion, very eager to be unified with Jesus' Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, Body, Blood, Soul, AND Divinity, I wondered which Jesus would be waiting for me at the altar. It can vary based on the occasion or the day. Did you know that He waits there for each one of us? He does! Today, on my daughter's 14 th birthday, our Risen Savior was waiting. I told Him that I was bringing Him flowers to thank Him for creating Alyssa and for choosing me to be her mother. As I knelt, my life ...http://godisatworkinyou.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-huge-thank-you-lord-and-happy-14th.html

Although troubles still fill my days, and the world still seems to be going crazy at a very fast rate, I cannot describe the peace and tranquility I find in that time. The church has many people in it who are doing the same thing. Some are praying rosaries; others are quietly praying the Liturgy of the Hours; others are just sitting and gazing at the home of their King and Savior, and others have their head in their hands, obviously grieving and yet coming to the only place where ...http://sandy-grace4u.blogspot.com/2013/04/devotion-for-today-come-to-me-all-you.html

(These antiphons were formerly sung after the grains of incense were burned on the altar, with a different arrangement of the text.

Pope Stresses Simplicity, Ecumenism in Inaugural Mass Plans CLERICAL WHISPERS - March 18, 2013 If the plans for his inaugural Mass -- expected to attract 1 million people to St. Peter's Square on Tuesday -- are any indication, it seems Pope Francis is setting three key themes for the event: simplicity, ecumenism and mercy. In what may also be signposts into the pope's wider focus, the Vatican announced Monday that the events surrounding the Mass will see: Combined prayer between the pontiff and representatives of the Eastern Rite churches at the tomb ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/03/pope-stresses-simplicity-ecumenism-in.html

7 Quick Takes March 1 2013 HOMESCHOOLING WITH JOY - March 1, 2013 ... we all kept stumbling over our petitions during the rosary Thursday evening. This is sure going to take some getting used to. For almost 8 years many of the kids have been praying for the Pope in their intentions, as well as on the first Our Father bead. It kind of throws you off when you have to pause, remember to leave that all out and then figure out what you usually would say next. I can't wait for Mass to see how many of the priests do the same thing. --- ...http://hsjoy.blogspot.com/2013/03/7-quick-takes-march-1-2013.html

Daily Scriptures Reflection for 2/19/13 CATHOLICMOM.COM - February 19, 2013 ... Evening Prayer. If we are praying the rosary and meditating on its mysteries, we recite the prayer after the Apostles Creed and for each start of a mystery of the rosary—thus, six times. This is a great spiritual exercise for the season of Lent especially if we join the sorrowful mysteries to our day. It would take less than five minutes to say one decade, if we are not used to or inclined to recite the rosary. John Paul II was a model for praying the rosary and he certainly knew how to ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/5fnr6J8XjA0/

I can personally attest to the amazing graces bestowed on our family through the power of the rosary. It can work miracles!

The deterioration of his health has been quite sharp in recent months and, as matters stand, shunned by all his peers who preach forgiveness, Eamon Casey will die one of these days in a nursing home.
