On July 13, 1917 , Our Lady at Fatima showed the three little children the Vision of Hell; it was the first part of the controversial "Secret of Fatima," and in some ways, the most terrible aspect of it, for hell is a place where anyone can go if they break ...http://fountainofelias.blogspot.com/2011/05/fatima.html
Our Lady's Requests at Fatima CATHOLICSEEKING - May 13, 2013 ... recitation. Why did she repeatedly insist on the praying of the Rosary? First of all, we should note that praying this devotion is much more than the automatic repetition of words (the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be); it is primarily a mental prayer. This is why one of the 20 mysteries--joyful, luminous, sorrowful, and glorious--is announced at the beginning of each decade of the Rosary. The announced mystery becomes the subject matter of the reflection ...http://catholicseeking.blogspot.com/2013/05/our-ladys-requests-at-fatima.html

My daughter thought that if she bought the exact same shoes and started wearing them, the other girl could wear her shoes too without the teasing or if there was teasing, somehow, with numbers, it wouldn't matter.

He also attempted to uphold the Church's political authority against various European nations. Queen Elizabeth's interference with Church affairs in England led to her excommunication; the pope also struggled against the ambitions of the Holy Roman Emperor and King Philip II of Spain.

I pray in English and Latin when the mood strikes. Does that make me a Traditionalist? A Rad Trad? I'm not sure. I tend to think of myself as a Catholic, plain and simple. The rest of the stuff surrounding it is preferences that do make it easier for me to live my faith. They add to it. But at the ...http://awomansplaceis.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-rad-trads-plea.html

I attended Mass six days a week - how I loved it! - and on Sundays, after Mass, my grandmother took me with her to Sunday School and church services at her Baptist church across the street from St. Bridget's.

Finally you have him in front of you, in his white, monastic rectory. He ...http://salesianity.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-priest-who-reaches-hearts-in-marseille.html
The Brown Scapular: It's Modern Day Significance MOUNT CARMEL - April 10, 2013 ... Brown Scapular is a "garment of salvation" and all who wear it "will not suffer the flames of eternal fires." This privilege was extended to all the faithful, not just Carmelites, and the Brown Scapular of Carmel became a favorite sacramental in the Church, along with the Rosary. Authorities in Carmelite spirituality and history remind us that the Brown Scapular is not an amulet one wears around one's neck to obtain spiritual favors.

Whew, that was a long background story for the fairly short actual story I want to tell, which is this: We got to church at 1:45 for confession starting at 2:00. There were already long lines at each confessional (about 8 people each). We each got in a line, and waited OVER AN HOUR for confession. When we left, we had barely enough time to run home, grab Lucia, and head back to church.
