Why I Bring My Toddler to Mass KAREN'S ADVENTURES IN MOMMYLAND - April 25, 2013 A few days ago I started noticing several different articles about whether babies and young children belonged at Mass. (Click on these links for some of what I've been reading here , here and here .) With blog posts and articles of this nature sometimes the comments section becomes something which I feel compelled to read but typically I find myself irritated and enraged within minutes. There are stories of grumpy people who dislike kids and don't want them ruining their ...http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-i-bring-my-toddler-to-mass.html

I went into a shell and didn't even have the courage to look at people's face and talk. And that's when God intervened and changed my life upside down! I don't know when or where, but I remember sometime during those first few years of my walk with God - our Father, I came across a phrase which was an eye-opener for me: "God doesn't always call the qualified, but He always qualifies the called." And trust me, ...http://sign-of-contradiction.blogspot.com/2013/04/one-year-10000-views.html

We do this in memory of Jesus Christ, our passover and our lasting peace...

And They Will Know We Are Christians . . . BLESSED WITH FULL HANDS - March 27, 2013 by our love . . . (Now, unfortunately I have that song stuck in my head!) For me, it started on March 14, the day after Pope Francis' election. And it has only been heightened by the events surrounding the Supreme Court and the same sex marriage debate. I have seen more than my share of ugly comments floating around the world wide web over the last few weeks. There are "Good Catholics" who harshly criticize the Pope for his ugly pectoral cross, his "Low ...http://blessedwithfullhands.blogspot.com/2013/03/and-they-will-know-we-are-christians.html

An Oasis in the Desert of Lent ST PATRICK'S CONVENT SCHOOL - March 16, 2013 ST PATRICK Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, Lent was a very sombre time, a time of penance and mortification. Lent was a very serious season then and certainly not a lot of laughs. However, smack dab in the middle of all this austerity there was one shining, glorious day that released us from seriousness and brought joy to the heart. What day was that? Why, St Patrick's Day, of course! ST PATRICK'S DAY RIBBON St Patrick's Day meant a day off school but ...http://stpatricksconventschool.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-oasis-in-desert-of-lent.html
Quick Takes: What Else? Pope Francis! LITTLE CATHOLIC BUBBLE - March 16, 2013 Reuters 1) I was born during the reign of Pope Paul VI, and his was the name I remember being spoken at mass during the Eucharistic prayer: "Paul our pope, Francis our bishop…." I heard it hundreds of times as a child in Tucson, Arizona, and it still sounds the most familiar to me in some ways. When Popes John Paul I and John Paul II were elected in quick succession in 1978, I was too young to care much. Although I was eleven and I must have seen some coverage, I ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/LittleCatholicBubble/~3/6YF_vC1mx3w/quick-takes-what-else-pope-francis.html

Lectionary Psalms SHADOWS OF AUGUSTINE - March 12, 2013 ... go a step further and say that I really like it when the Responsorial Psalm is sung. I know it's a little thing, but singing the response adds just a touch of grace to a ritual that is already brimming with meaning. Unfortunately, it can also be a moment of severe disappointment when the psalm from the Lectionary is replaced by a different psalm that supposedly sounds better when sung, or with a "sung song response" that isn't a psalm at all. I believe that the governing ...http://shadowsofaugustine.blogspot.com/2013/03/lectionary-psalms.html
