Our Little Bedroom Abbey CATHOLICMOM.COM - May 13, 2013 I do not like morning. In fact, I often accuse my husband of "working for The Morning" when he tries to wake me up, as if "The Morning" were some evil villain seeking to destroy all that is good. The alarm and I have always had a love-hate relationship. I hate that it wakes me up, but love that it does my bidding: when I hit snooze, it obeys and leaves me alone for a few (precious) minutes. I've never been good at "the heroic minute" and approach it with much fear ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/b5X29725mSM/
OFS Prayer Life SECULAR FRANCISCAN - E JOURNAL - May 11, 2013 Is an active prayer life important to proper formation as a Secular Franciscan? No, it is not important … it is critical! Without a purposeful and active prayer life the material used for formation becomes only a collection of trivia about St Francis of Assisi. Being formed as a Secular Franciscan only happens when we put our heart and soul into progressing in Franciscan Spirituality, and this only can happen by willfully developing a ...http://secularfranciscan.blogspot.com/2013/05/ofs-prayer-life.html

Redemptorem nostrum ad caelos ascendisse credimus; ipsi quoque mente in caelestibus habitemus. Our hard working Lewis & Short Dictionary can have a little rest today, I think.

3 Popes at the Vatican Today (Benedict, Francis, & Tawadros) BYZANTINE, TEXAS - May 10, 2013 ... retirement in a convent in the Vatican gardens. There were no plans for Tawadros, making his first trip outside Egypt since his election in November, to meet Benedict. The tall, black-robed Tawadros is the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the largest Christian Church in Egypt. He is only the second Coptic pope in history to visit the Vatican. In their public speeches, neither Francis, 76, nor Tawadros, 60, made direct mention of the recent sectarian violence in Egypt between ...http://byztex.blogspot.com/2013/05/3-popes-at-vatican-today-benedict.html

Prayer! Meditation! Science! A CATHOLIC CITIZEN IN AMERICA - May 3, 2013 ... Prayer, on the other hand is important. ( 2697 - 2699 ) So is meditation. I've put a quick overview of prayer and meditation, Catholic style, at the end of this post. 1 Prayer Prayer can be just talking to God. When I pray, I often use the same sort of language I'd use when talking to the boss of my boss's boss. Sometimes I use the sort of semi-archaic, very formal, language: the sort of "dost thou speakest unto this, your humble servant" ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ACatholicCitizenInAmerica/~3/rI5u3fm3uIk/prayer-meditation-science.html

Who is more tired at the end of the day. Who steps up. Who gives more. Who bathes the kids. What matters is that we are grownups now. And marriage isn't a "if he just does this then I would do that" kind of thing. We should strive now to be the woman God calls us to be and the woman our husbands need us to be. And our husbands need us to stand with them for better or for worse–in life and ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/OOz4lM5nA6M/
Humor, Hope and Pajama Days... PASSIONATE PERSEVERANCE - April 23, 2013 ... so much...thank you. Today began with a phone call from my sweet friend and critique partner Sharon. She has hot coffee and she was coming by to chat and make sure everything was OK. It didn't matter that I was in my bathrobe, hadn't brushed my hair or my teeth, none of that mattered.

Saint Benedict Joseph Labre VULTUS CHRISTI - April 15, 2013 ... abandonment of the Divine Office among ordinary work-a-day Catholics. Later editions of the "Liturgy of the Hours" were poor in content and in presentation. They failed to enchant and captivate souls the way earlier editions of the Divine Office had. I rather suspect that if The Liturgical Press (Collegeville) were to re-issue the classic Short Breviary today, it would mark a renaissance of authentic liturgical prayer, but I digress.

St. Paul writes: "With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit." - Ephesians 6:18 Paul doesn't just suggest, but commands us, to pray "in the Spirit" at "every opportunity". If we are to follow this command, it is done out of love, not out of mere obedience. But, how are we to meet this high call?

How Is Your Prayer Life? GROW THE ROSES - April 8, 2013 "Accustom yourself to pray this way and, God grant, soon you will nurture true prayer in yourself. Then there will be no need for rules.
