First Communion Hypocrisy POPIN' AIN'T EASY - May 12, 2013 Have you ever noticed how parishes act for a kid's First Communion? The kids have to dress up. The girls wear veils. I've never seen any of them receive in the hand because it's the only time of the year when the parish breaks out kneelers or makes use of their altar rail (assuming it has one). You even have special decorations and maybe even a reception for everyone when Mass is over. Of course, the kids have to go to confession, but that's sort of part of the ...http://popinainteasy.blogspot.com/2013/05/first-communion-hypocrisy.html
A Tactful Response to Untactful Garb CATHOLICMOM.COM - May 9, 2013 ... will be confirmed in a solemn ceremony at our church. We have invited our extended families to join us for the confirmation and, afterward, for a nice dinner in our son's honor. We would like everyone to dress appropriately (and modestly) for the occasion, but I'm certain that my 19-year-old niece will show up scantily dressed in something ridiculously short, revealing and inappropriate for a church service. This is how she typically dresses and has done so for similar ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/ueLA1FyUWfs/
A Great Investment ALL THIS AND HEAVEN - May 3, 2013 ... I needed to engage my "very bored" 5 year old at church. He brought the kit to the car the entire first week but not into daily Mass. He would get to the car after Mass and then pull the pieces out and try to remember how the priests had used them. The second week he took it inside two times and only one time did we take it into the cry room and actually get the pieces out. We were alone for daily Mass and I let him set it up and then watch the priest to compare the real items to his kit ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AllThisAndHeaven/~3/X73n3ILYFTo/a-great-investment.html

An Early Anniversary Gift MARTIN FAMILY MOMENTS - April 15, 2013 ... get a Mother's Ring until we are done having children. How sad would any future kids be that weren't on the ring? So we will save that idea for a later date. And by later I mean when I am 50, because I come from a long line of moms who had babies into their forties, so I'm not quitting anytime soon! But, being the awesome hubby that he is, Phil designed an anniversary ring for me instead! It was actually in the Mother's Rings section and he chose a beautiful band with blue sapphires and ...http://martinfamilymoments.blogspot.com/2013/04/an-early-anniversary-gift.html
7 Quick Takes NOTLUKEWARM - April 12, 2013 ... bottoms to match is too much work every morning. The other point is that it is very hot here (not a complaint, I like it) so a dress looks totally put together and more polished than a skirt and tee. And cooler since it seems to be getting harder and harder to find cotton tops. I made one dress Sunday and today or tomorrow I'll make another one. I did up the bight multicolored one already, I think I'll do the navy with pink next. 6. Besides sewing I have two other important tasks to accomplish ...http://notlukewarm.blogspot.com/2013/04/7-quick-takes.html
Popes Have Faith in Colombian Tailor CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 11, 2013 ... deeply religious man, his voice dropped as he remembered. "It was his plan," he said, then looked away, refusing to talk about it further. Making the high-profile garments from the thread and 300 yards of fine cloth that the Vatican sends him each year is really just a hobby, he disclosed. His day job, which he insisted he will never give up, is working as the brigade tailor at the army base, making and mending fatigues and uniforms for army grunts and brass alike. Delgado has had a lifelong ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/04/popes-have-faith-in-colombian-tailor.html
What I Wore Sunday...vol. 13...why Mary Should Never Wear Neutrals... PASSIONATE PERSEVERANCE - April 7, 2013 Oh what a weekend it has been. All I can say is that I am happy it's Sunday. It's not been a horrid, just so very busy with lots of little projects around the house along with one private NFP class and one group class with six couples, then there were Confirmation parties and Youth Ministry tonight and I am one tired cookie. Even my goofy face looks tired...seriously tired...my eyes don't even cross...I am so done...LOL! You can tell in these photos. ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PassionatePerseverance/~3/pTWKDw-Cdv0/what-i-wore-sundayvol-13why-mary-should.html
Christ Is Risen! Indeed He Is Risen! Alleluia! VERITATEM FACIENTES IN CARITATE. PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH IN LO - April 3, 2013 ... rectory I keep a lovely icon of St. John Vianney. He is depicted in the icon holding a scroll that bears words for which he is famous. "The eyes of the world see no further than this life… but the eyes of the Christian see deep into eternity." This morning, the glorious paschal mystery we celebrate compels us to see with the eyes of faith and to look beyond what we can perceive by our human senses and our fallen human nature. God has become man and has died on the ...http://proclaimthetruthinlove.blogspot.com/2013/04/chrat-is-risen-indeed-he-is-risen.html
Maundy Thursday - Diocese of Scranton THE ROCKIN TRADDY - March 28, 2013 ... used in Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Unction, and the consecration of Altars and churches. At the evening Mass, after the bells ring during the Gloria, they are rung no more until the Easter Vigil (a wooden clapper called a "crotalus" is used insead). Parents explain this to their children by saying that the all the bells fly to Rome after the Gloria of the Mass on Maundy Thursday to visit the Popes. Children are told that the bells sleep on the roof of St. Peter's ...http://rockintraddy.blogspot.com/2013/03/maundy-thursday-diocese-of-scranton.html
To Be Confirmed…Kids Need the Armor of Christ: The Assault on Truth Is Real and It's Coming to a Playground Near Y CATHOLICMOM.COM - March 12, 2013 ... why not? To be "confirmed in the faith" should mean they have been equipped with the tools to defend our Lord—that we have put on the armor of Christ. This does not mean being angry and hostile. But it should mean that our young people can stand up for Truth. Great Britain legalized same sex marriage in February. Teachers in Canada are promoting a "gender continuum curriculum." Have you read about the six year old boy who is said to be "transgendered"? His parents want to support ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/q5fGQcP3ptU/
Altar Boy Resources UNAM ECCLESIAM - March 9, 2013 ... from altar boy training, we were each vested in our own surplus and given a ring to wear with the words 'altar boy' and a small cross inscribed. The sense of dignity was felt by everyone. It wasn't just the ring we now wore on our finger, but knowing that we had just crossed a threshold of spiritual manhood and entered a new phase of male responsibility that gave us a newfound sense of Christian pride, purpose, and masculine motivation. An awaking of the image of God within. ...http://unam-ecclesiam.blogspot.com/2013/03/altar-boy-resources.html

The Church's Dress Code SKY VIEW - January 24, 2013 ... prerequisite of being a member of the Mystical Body of Christ. If this repentance was wanting, then the candidate wishing to join the Church would simply be denied. By and large, this was the pastoral practice of the Catholic Church up until the 1960's. Early Catechumenate: For instance, in early Christianity (here I refer to the first millennium) a candidate wishing to enter the Catholic Church had to demonstrate to the Bishop over three years that he or she willing to observe "all that ...http://catholic-skyview-tremblay.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-churchs-dress-code.html
My Own Little Retreat and Revelations... THE VOCATION OPERATION - January 21, 2013 ... deeply for it that I cannot imagine what the world would be like without such a devotion. People in the parish have been saying many things to me and about me. Lots of people think I'm a sister (as in a nun) and I always laugh and joke about it, but really inside it makes me wonder why. It is partly because of how I dress, and someone, this time I won't say who, said it's because of that "garb" I wear... :P They also said it was because of the way I speak - ...http://vocationoperation.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-own-little-retreat-and-revelations.html
