Reasons to Be Open to Motherhood GROW THE ROSES - April 28, 2013 ... those apprehensive about motherhood: We live in a world where everything is over planned and in our control. We plan and choose a life for ourselves. A specific career, marriage (or not marriage) at a certain age, this number of children at this age, travel, a house… Whether it is through this or from the negatives people are quick to say , this has created rather a fear of parenthood in our culture. From this attitude of planning, I always presumed that we were in control of our ...http://growtheroses.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/reasons-to-be-open-to-life/

Some Updates, and Five Amazing Books to Make You Feel Better About Your Crazy Life CONVERSION DIARY - April 23, 2013 We're home! The baby is doing very well, my health is great, and the kids are thrilled to have a baby in the house again. It's been a little crazy though (by "a little" I mean "A LOT"). I've spent the past few days pondering whether it's having six kids under nine or just having two under two that's making everything feel so overwhelming. I'm thinking it's the latter. I'd developed a dangerous overconfidence since we had a newborn as ...http://www.conversiondiary.com/2013/04/some-updates-and-five-amazing-books-to-make-you-feel-better-about-your-crazy-life.html
Divine Mercy Sunday (Easter 2.C) HOMILIES AND OCCASIONAL THOUGHTS - April 7, 2013 ... another note, the father of a newborn who attended the Easter Vigil texted me "It was an Easter miracle! The baby slept for ten hours straight last night. Man, that homily was good!" And unlike some of my stories, those two are 100 per cent true. I started work on my homily by Goggling the word "mercy." I found a rap song, a TV series, a clothing company, a hospital, an international aid organization, a fleet of hospital ships, and a hangover cure. That list ...http://gregorynsmith.blogspot.com/2013/04/divine-mercy-sunday-easter-2c.html
Quasimodo Sunday ROMA LOCUTA EST - April 5, 2013 ... songs that have little relationship to the texts proposed by the Missal or the Graduale Romanum and as such a whole element of the liturgy of the day is lost or consigned to oblivion. For the most part, they exist only as spoken texts. We are much the poorer for this, as these texts (which are often either Scriptural or a gloss on the Biblical text) represent the Church's own reading and meditation on the Scriptures. As chants, they are a sort of musical lectio divina pointing us towards the ...http://causafinitaest.blogspot.com/2013/04/quasimodo-sunday.html

Presentation of Jesus in the Temple 2013 BLUE EYED ENNIS - January 29, 2013 ... and every tongue. The Jews couldn't say, "He belongs to us and you can't have him." Nor could they say, "You have to become a Jew to enjoy Messiah's benefits." No! Doubtless that's what some Jews expected. But Simeon's words explode forever that narrow nationalism. He's the Saviour of the whole world. All people are included in his coming. He didn't come for a small group. He came for the whole wide world. "All were precious in his sight." Wonderful reflection on Simeon here from which the ...http://blueeyedennis-siempre.blogspot.com/2013/01/presentation-of-jesus-in-temple-2013.html
Nursing Essie ALL YOU WHO HOPE - January 28, 2013 ... benefit. It was after the second woman said her name, a little bit about her baby and then declared that she hasn't given her daughter even one drop of formula and several in the room cheered, that I became frozen with panic at the realization that I would likely have to pull out a bottle for Essie while there. And not just a bottle whose contents could be mistaken for breast milk. No. I would also be pulling out my little pink 3-chamber container and carefully pouring out the ...http://allyouwhohope.blogspot.com/2013/01/nursing-essie.html
Because My Little Brother Is About to Be a Daddy RAISING ANGELS - January 25, 2013 My brother and his wife just found out that their first baby will be born on Monday (prayers appreciated). Her due date is February 9th but her fluids are low and the doctor said that the baby is measuring smaller than she had hoped. The doctor assured them that even though that sweet little baby is just shy of 5 1/2 lbs., there is no reason not to think that everything will be just fine. It's just going to happen two ...http://raisingangels.blogspot.com/2013/01/because-my-little-brother-is-about-to.html
