Jake Genesis... A Penitent's Story. ABBEY-ROADS - May 15, 2013 ... actors in pornography are victims to varying degrees. The very young, the economically destitute, and the uneducated are victimized to a higher degree than men like me who made a more conscious choice, but everyone is harmed deeply by the experience and no one escapes the knife that cuts deeply the innate dignity of the human person. One thing that I am grateful that I never did was to recruit someone into doing porn. There are "agents" who make a lot of money doing this. I want to speak for a ...http://abbey-roads.blogspot.com/2013/05/jake-genesis-penitents-story.html

What legacy will you leave? On a personal level, what kind of person will you vow to become? As your principal, I ask that you pray for God's guidance and wisdom today, as we pray for you.

The Link Between Wisdom Teeth, Vocational Discernment and the Intercession of St. Apollonia GOD ALONE SUFFICETH - April 21, 2013 ... abundance of "extras" leads to pain and discomfort as the realization that it can't all fit becomes evident. We need to discern if there is enough room in God's plan for us of both these "extras" and Himself. If there is then, great, we've cleared a major hurdle. However, as is often the case, there isn't enough room and these "extras" – which may not be harmful in and of themselves, they just don't fit in God's plan – like wisdom teeth, have to GO! Like the ...http://godalonesufficeth.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/the-link-between-wisdom-teeth-vocational-discernment-and-the-intercession-of-st-apollonia/

Mike heads down before me and when he reaches the bottom I can hear a horrible *sloshing* sound. I quickly see that the water is about ankle deep in one half of the basement and is stealthily making it's way across the floor. This is very, very bad. Mike works to get stuff up off the floor and attempts to bail some water while I call the hardware stores to see if anybody is ...http://lifeofacatholiclibrarian.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-game-of-whats-that-sound.html

Ruminations MY APOLOGIES - March 20, 2013 Thank you, dear Readers, for your prayers! It's the old adage at work "everything will look better in the morning". My husband and I have talked long and often about my last post, I've prayed on it and gone to spiritual council in confession. I haven't reached any formal conclusions, but the Holy Spirit has prompted me with this thought along the way: You are the decisions you make. Hubby and I made the decisions we did at the prompting of much grace in our ...http://freakinominalblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/ruminations.html
Picking the Pope: Holy Spirit or 'Groupthink'? CLERICAL WHISPERS - March 13, 2013 ... pope is supposed to be guided by the Holy Spirit. There's no horse-trading or lobbying, no insider deal-making or outside influences allowed. Just red-robed cardinals solemnly entering the Sistine Chapel, accompanied only by prayers and their consciences, sitting beneath Michelangelo's fresco of the Last Judgment and discerning God's will on who should be the next successor to St. Peter. At least that's the theory. The last millennium has shown that papal ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/03/picking-pope-holy-spirit-or-groupthink.html

What accounts for this historic shift? While the Holy Spirit may be getting more efficient, behavioral scientists and church experts argue a new group dynamic is playing a growing role as well, and that the "bandwagon effect" is now proving as powerful as any sacred (or profane) electioneering did before. That's the upshot of a ...http://reform-network.net/?p=20341

A Few Thoughts on Pope Benedict XVI CATHOLIC CHAMPION BLOG - March 8, 2013 ... theologian that I know quite well, who went to seminary before the Second Vatican Council also feels the same way. We both agree, most of the modern theologians are not speaking the same language that the Church spoke 50 years ago. Those well versed in Saint Thomas will find his reasoning at times quite confusing. This is a problem, being that his theology is not going to be of any significant help to the Church in the long run. The new theology which is rooted in modern philosophy will not ...http://catholicchampion.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-few-thoughts-on-pope-benedict-xvi.html

Let us take this opportunity to become smaller – as people, as a Church, and as communities. Let us reduce down our daily lives to that which is important. If Christ is our center, than those whom He loves should also be our center. Love can, and will, conquer the world. The Pope is stepping aside not to end his teachings, not to quit – but to begin their rebirth, to bring them fully alive. He must increase, we must decrease. † I am ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DefendUsInBattle/~3/kA6MrbwBmyE/

Usually held inside the 7,000-seat Paul VI (Nervi) Hall during Roman Winter, today's audience was moved outside given the anticipated size of the crowd.

Did the Blessed Virgin Ask Pope Benedict to Step Down? DR. TAYLOR MARSHALL CANTERBURY TALES - February 25, 2013 Did Mary Reveal Something to Pope Benedict? How does a Pope make the decision to resign from the Papacy? The effects of such a decision are staggering. It's a decision that affects every Catholic, and even every person on earth. He is the Vicar of Christ. His prayers and actions (through participation in the High Priesthood of Christ) win graces for the world.

The seven penitential psalms are : 6, 32, 38, 51, 130,and 143. The Sermon on the Mount is the background for many of our Gospel readings during Lent. This is a great blueprint for living our lives in union with Jesus who proclaimed this inspiring sermon according to Matthew in chapters 5-7.

Nevertheless, because I am human and because I get all geeked out about these things, it should come as no surprise that I have "a list." Before we get to it, however, it is worth giving you (1) the criteria the media seems to be using for choosing contenders, (2) my sense of the criteria that the cardinals will actually use, and (3) the criteria I am using. The media assumes that this election will go through a similar process as a ...http://causafinitaest.blogspot.com/2013/02/jakes-picks-for-pope.html
