YARC Mass Is Always the Fundamentally the Same Is We Believe It's How God Wants Us to Be Worshiped TADA MINISTRIES - May 14, 2013 ... they get to set it up however they want? In a similar way, shouldn't worship be about the one being worshiped? Shouldn't the creator of the universe have some say in how his creation worships him? Mass isn't what it is for my entertainment. It doesn't have the music that I may want to hear. In the end though, who cares? Every time I go to Mass I'm a guest in God's house because he wants me to hear stories about him and to participate in the sacrifice of his Son. Am I surprised that an ...http://www.tadaministries.com/2013/02/yarc-mass-is-always-fundamentally-same.html

I'll save the draft for another Friday and in its stead I'll do The Mother's Day Wrap-Up List. Dear sweet Sally was a major architect of my Mother's Day festivities. She left me a note under my pillow and she wrote and performed a song, a duet with her father, in which she extolled my virtues. This song declared, among other things, that I was more precious than a diamond and better than television. She also made me this card in ...http://the-mother-load.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-mom-wants.html

Not a ton! (Especially when you're sitting there with your Bible open on your knee, waiting for him to keep reading for 40 minutes!) At a Catholic service, we read like 5-20 verses for each of the three readings, plus another 5-10 for the Psalm!

After the Ascension the apostles and others gathered in prayer in Jerusalem and 9 days later the ...http://concordpastor.blogspot.com/2013/05/so-whats-pentecost-novena.html

WE'RE MORE THAN FLESH AND BONE - May 8, 2013 ... times have you shown up at the Novus Ordo, gone through the motions, mouthed the songs, shaken hands, received the Eucharist, and suddenly at the end of mass find you've been thinking largely about work, or school, or what you're going to eat for lunch, or a problem that's bothering you, or whatever? Participation has nothing to do with external actions. Participating in Holy Mass means praying the Mass. This is the mind of the Church. Prayer is aided by outward ...http://bannerofthecross.tumblr.com/post/49955673540
Gifts: Modeling Our Faith With Our Actions CATHOLICMOM.COM - May 4, 2013 ... appropriate listening volume means, but they are off to a good start. It seems to me that there are two factors at work here. One is the fact that children seem to have little trouble adapting to technology; the other is that children learn a lot by observing the behavior of the adults in their lives. This point was driven home the other night when I was helping my oldest grandson with his homework. He had a worksheet on the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit. One portion of the worksheet ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/9S4XZi_5cVw/

I told her I had no problem getting her a new pair of shoes. (She's used to hand me downs.) Then, long about 10 pm, past her bedtime, she crawled up on the pillow next to mine and asked, "Ya wanna know why I want new shoes?" "Yes." This 11 year old, crazy, fun, over the top goofy child of mine told me this... A girl in her class was ...http://juliecragon.blogspot.com/2013/05/sensitivity-may-crownings-graduations.html

Crossed the Tiber Is 7 Years Old! CROSSED THE TIBER - April 29, 2013 This weekend marked the 7th year since this blog was started. I never intended to blog about the faith and never had a blog before. As a matter of fact, I did very little writing other than lyrics for songs or occasional lectures for medical residents. After being back in the Catholic Church for 2 years, I realized there was a tremendous amount of misinformation out there about the faith. The blog was originally started as a way to dispel some of the myths ...http://crossed-the-tiber.blogspot.com/2013/04/crossed-tiber-is-7-years-old.html

Name This Tune CAELUM ET TERRA - April 24, 2013 ... Stone". I was so impressed I called the station. As I expected, it turned out the program was syndicated. So I told the woman on the other end of the line to pass on to her overlords that I appreciated the diversity. After all, I said, they have access to hundreds of thousands of songs, and this could be a really great station. And as for me, I would just as soon never ever again hear "The Piano Man", "American Pie" or anything by the Jackson Five. Apparently her overlords ...http://caelumetterra.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/name-this-tune/
