Saint Maria Goretti, Pray for Us! REAL CATHOLIC LOVE AND SEX: MORE THAN JUST MISSIONARY - May 6, 2013 ... that violation is taken a step further into sexual humiliation on public display. A few will be prosecuted. Most wont. Some of these girls/women will wake up wondering what happened the night before. Others will remember all too much of their ordeal. All of them will feel violated and sick. The stereotypical image of a stranger grabbing some poor girl as she jogs through a park is not reality of rape. It can be, but usually is not. Our society has long imagined the tall, shadowed, creepy ...http://realcatholicloveandsex.blogspot.com/2013/05/saint-maria-goretti-pray-for-us.html

I came back down the central, double staircase and walked through the Ignatian Room, past the bookstore and behind the chapel to the west wing stairs. My room was very nice. And the dusty prie-dieu was great for holding open the door. Seriously, I dusted the thing off before using it. It had cobwebs. Before dinner, I visited the small gift shop / bookstore. I was looking for a Pope Francis prayer card but there were none. At dinner time, I sought out my group in the dining room. ...http://teresatwocents.blogspot.com/2013/05/retreats-are-great-for-people-watching.html

Of Seers, Prophets and Clowns - Private Revelations THE DIGITAL HAIRSHIRT - April 3, 2013 ... so-called 'private' revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium[collective sense of the faithful] knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or ...http://digihairshirt.blogspot.com/2013/04/of-seers-prophets-and-clowns-private.html

It tells the kids that they can practice by being faithful to friends and family members, and that when you talk about them, say only things you wouldn't mind them hearing. I liked Katheen's concrete ways to make the faith relevant to today's life. I liked her adult explanations of the Beatitudes and the Commandments. The book is a good basic guide to Catholicism, easy to read, hits the highlights and relates them to daily life. I'm less fond of the instructional ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ngaR/~3/PpqYFxB4aSM/review-this-little-light-of-mine.html
2013 Easter Vigil (1962 Missal) TE DEUM LAUDAMUS! - April 2, 2013 On Saturday we celebrated the Easter vigil where those who have been studying the faith were brought into the Church through the Sacraments. The Triduum at Assumption Grotto is celebrated using the 1962 Missal. First I just want to show a close-up of the Dalmatics that were in use by the deacon and subdeacon. As was pointed out to me, on this first one we have both St. Francis and St. Benedict - rather interesting given the election of Pope Francis, followed by Pope ...http://te-deum.blogspot.com/2013/04/2013-easter-vigil-1962-missal.html

As a priest I am usually able to rejoice in greeting people and laughing with families and their children. (And who knows? Maybe they liked the sermon.) Some of the people who go to Mass might not be so happy because their husband has just walked off with another women, because their child has died, because they have lost their job, because their business is struggling and they can't see how they can keep ...http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2013/04/pastoral-thoughts-on-oil-of-gladness.html

Recently a beautiful hardbound keepsake book showed up in my mailbox that is just perfect for a child who has just received First Holy Communion. It's the My First Communion Remembrance Book . The book reminds me a bit of a baby book where you record baby's milestones, only this book is a place for your child to record what they did to prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. There's a presentation page at the beginning of the book that makes it a great gift idea for a ...http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2013/03/book-review-my-first-communion.html
Farewell, Your Holiness IN THE SHADOWS OF THE SAINTS - March 1, 2013 ... prayers. I dearly love him as a spiritual father and I will deeply miss him. This did not fully hit me until I watched his final message from pope's summer residence, Castel Gandalfo, to the the crowds from the town that came to welcome him back to Castel Gandalfo until the monastery is finished being prepared at the Vatican. I watched the short address in Italian and could hardly hold back the tears when he told them that he was now a pilgrim, like all of us, journeying to our eternal home in ...http://brianbcatholic.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/farewell-your-holiness/

"Catholics Live in an Enchanted World, a World of Statues and Holy Water, Stained Glass and Votive..." CRUSADER MAXIMUS - February 19, 2013 ... an enchanted world, a world of statues and holy water, stained glass and votive candles, saints and religious medals, rosary beads and holy pictures. But these Catholic paraphenalia are mere hints of a deeper and more pervasive religious sensibility which inclines Catholics to see the Holy lurking in creation. As Catholics, we find our houses and the world haunted by a sense that the objects, events, and persons of daily life are revelations of grace.

For me, the pictures bring back memories of all my visits and my time inside the cloister for my aspirancy. These women joyfully live out their vocations, contemplating the Word of God and interceding for us. And it stirred the desire I have to join them.
