My Inner Mary Is Dehydrated CATHOLICMOM.COM - May 22, 2013 ... rest in silence and drink it all in. I remember the days when I used to arrive early to Mass just to kneel and soak it up, letting my soul stretch and reach upward as everyone was arriving. I felt I connected with God at every turn then, and when I left Mass each week, I carried the fiercely burning light of Christ at the very center of my being, so hot that I could physically feel it behind my breastbone. In the Gospel story of Mary and Martha , I was Mary all the way…sitting at Jesus' ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/CrvJGIeHb2c/

Two other women in my room were desperate to keep their babies in uteri and finally become mothers. One of the two had suffered five miscarriages. She was stuck in a ward room for months, only going home after the birth of her baby. Secretly we all feared that we would lose our babies. Suddenly our fears materialized as a high-risk woman's baby died in her womb. That poor woman had to endure an induction and labour for hours, only to push out a dead baby. The pain in that wing ...http://associationofcatholicwomenbloggers.blogspot.com/2013/05/protecting-life-in-neonatal-wing_3773.html

Reading, PA Parish Celebrates Inmate Initiative Milestone BYZANTINE, TEXAS - May 11, 2013 ( Reading Eagle ) - When you enter St. Matthew's Greek Orthodox Church in Maidencreek Township, it's not beautiful iconic imagery, paintings and statuary of saints; golden or bejeweled crucifixes; or the smell of incense and candles that first fill the senses. It's fragrant cooking smells and cozy, comfy thoughts associated with a family kitchen. Most of the distinctive character of a Greek spiritual setting is either farther back in the building or on the other side of a ...http://byztex.blogspot.com/2013/05/reading-pa-parish-celebrates-inmate.html

A Worm in the Apple THE MUNIMENT ROOM - May 5, 2013 . At times I feel as though I'm on the Enquiries Desk of an online Catholic Library, finding questions out there and answering them. As somebody who reveres the office of Librarian, who would be prepared to argue that it sits at the top of the list of secular vocations, my regret is that I don't know as much as I should, and that the muniments here are often not enough to answer everything satisfactorily. The other thing that happens is that instead of simply looking up ...http://ttonys-blog.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-worm-in-apple.html

Meet Those Bucking a Trend and Going BACK to Mass CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 28, 2013 Paul D'Alton has done something he hadn't done for 20 years — returned to Sunday Mass. And he reckons he wasn't the only 'prodigal son' there. IT was like riding a bike for the first time in years. It was instinctive. I was climbing the steep hill up to my local church and doing something I had never expected to do again: going back to mass. The last time I was in a church was seven years ago, at my father's funeral, so that memory ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/04/meet-those-bucking-trend-and-going-back.html

So what does the world see when it looks upon those who call themselves his disciples?

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.

Update on the "Screaming Babies at Mass" Post AND SOMETIMES TEA - April 20, 2013 ... The comments really saddened me. I have worked as a DRE for all age levels, & am working on my master's degree in theology. My husband & I also have 6 children, ages 15-27, so we have a fair amount of experience with kids at Mass. What most saddened me were the comments by clergy & laity alike saying that disruptive children belong at Mass. It seems that we've forgotten what the Mass really is–the worship of God, the re-presentation of the ...http://redcardigan.blogspot.com/2013/04/update-on-screaming-babies-at-mass-post.html
