Posts From the Past: Give Us This Day NUNBLOG - May 15, 2013 ... this day our daily bread. We return to the first person plural: the language of "we" and "our." And in the verb "give," we hear the universal voice of our primordial desires. It is the voice with which all creation groans, a voice calling out to God from the ends of the earth. Our desire is to receive; our call is "give us"; our longing is for "bread." Not just any bread, but "daily" bread, to meet our constant need. "Supersubstantial" bread, to be literal. What else is this ...http://romans8v29.blogspot.com/2013/05/posts-from-past-give-us-this-day.html

It bears repeating that the word "rogation" comes from the Latin word rogare , a verb, meaning "to ask." So why post on this again so soon? Well, in most places throughout the world (not in my diocese), this Thursday, 9 May, being the fortieth day after Easter, marks the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. Minor Rogation Days were observed from the fifth ...http://scottdodge.blogspot.com/2013/05/preparing-to-ask-minor-rogation-days.html
Let's Get Biblical (Biblical!) TEN THOUSAND PLACES - April 29, 2013 ... is a contemporary Egyptian Coptic monk who is at the heart of a renewal of Egyptian monasticism, a new flowering of the desert for that persecuted church. His writings draw on the spiritual tradition of both Eastern and Western Christianity and flow from his own direct experience of God in prayer. The reason I want to highlight this section is that I have been, well, meditating on meditation quite a bit lately. The subject seems to keep coming up with my directees and others. ...http://frdenis.blogspot.com/2013/04/lets-get-biblical-biblical.html
Preparing to Ask: A Quick "Take" on Rogation Days Καθολικός διάκονος - April 23, 2013 ... Christian freedom . In a lovely sermon he gave recently, Alistair Begg (who would likely be very surprised to find out he was mentioned on a Catholic blog), preaching on 1 Corinthians 9:15-18 , said, "The ultimate exercise of freedom, for Paul, was the freedom to restrict his freedom. That's how he showed how free he really was by not using the freedom that really had." At least for me, this the only way to approach to fasting. Thursday's Major Rogation Day presents us with an opportunity to ...http://scottdodge.blogspot.com/2013/04/preparing-to-ask-quick-take-on-rogation.html

Bella Natural Women's Care will be centrally located in Denver with a fully comprehensive staff, trained to deal with a range of women's health issues from infertility to weight loss. Sinnett said the plan to start Bella has received "overwhelming support" so far. People are excited and eager to know when it will be up and running, she explained.

Joy Is the Surest Sign IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY - April 2, 2013 This is a guest post by Michelle Francl-Donnay for Week Eight of An Ignatian Prayer Adventure . I came home early in the morning, the noise of my engine rippling the sleepy stillness of the neighborhood, the green leaves arching over the street like a gate to another world. The brick wall along the driveway glowed warmly in the sunlight of mid-September as I pulled the car up, and my two sons and spouse spilled out the door at the sound of the car door.

The thief hears Jesus cry, "Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit." He sees Jesus breathe His last. He notices the darkness come over the whole land. He may even hear the centurion proclaim, "This man was innocent beyond doubt." As the soldiers come toward him to break his legs and end his painful suffering, he perhaps utters one final prayer. Then his spirit ...http://thecatholicscholar.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-little-something-extrapalm-sunday.html
The First Day of the Conclave: Fear and Trembling ABOUT.COM CATHOLICISM - March 12, 2013 ... historically most cardinals can expect to take part in no more than one conclave. Indeed, Pope John Paul II made many cardinals who reached the age of 80 or even died before the conclave of 2005 convened. A papal election, then, is the rarest of activities in which a cardinal engages, and it is the most solemn moment of his life. Cardinals who participated in the election of Benedict have described that conclave as deeply prayerful and extremely moving, to the point where they found themselves ...http://catholicism.about.com/b/2013/03/12/the-first-day-of-the-conclave-fear-and-trembling.htm

Places Fresh and Green TEN THOUSAND PLACES - March 5, 2013 ... about the 'Ten Thousand Places' where we find the face of God, the Word of God provides more like ten million such. And so I would like to take this most familiar of psalms and spend a few days with it. It is the one psalm that, if a person knows any Scripture at all, they probably know it, or at least the first lines of it. I believe this psalm is a sort of summary of the whole of the Bible. Certainly Jesus takes it up into his own mystery and the very depths of the Christian revelation by ...http://frdenis.blogspot.com/2013/03/places-fresh-and-green.html

The "N."

That N . will be "un- N .'d" for a short while. N . is not really the name of our pope. It wasn't too long ago when we had to skip over that part while the cardinals were convening to elect a pope after the death of John Paul II.
