Are You Taking Partres - In Chartes? LINEN ON THE HEDGEROW - May 18, 2013 ... Cross. Very good for the soul - and the blood pressure. The organisers have this to say about the event:- The pilgrims walk in "chapters" (groups of 20 to 50 people), under the patronage of a saint (Our Lady of Walsingham and St. Alban for the British Chapters), and are led by laymen who, with the help of chaplains (Frs. Martin Edwards, Mark Withoos, Bede Rowe, Alex Redman, Bruno Witchalls and Gerard Byrne), organise the chapter hymns, meditations, rosary and prayers.

Kentucky Basilica & Book Haunt VIDEO MELIORA, PROBOQUE; DETERIORA SEQUOR - May 14, 2013 On Sunday we and made our way on a sunny but chilly morning to the breathtaking St. Mary Basilica in Covington, KY. We arrived a good half hour before services and I anticipated exploring the near empty cathedral but that was not to be. Surprisingly for a Catholic Church, there were a lot of people there that early and so it was hard to tour while people were trying to pray. The brightness of this gothic cathedral was created by the ...http://poncer.blogspot.com/2013/05/kentucky-cathedral-book-haunt.html
Details of 'Homebody' Pope's First Overseas Trip Released CLERICAL WHISPERS - May 11, 2013 Pope Francis' first overseas trip as pontiff will be to Brazil where he is scheduled to visit a slum, meet juvenile prisoners, and pray at the country's national shrine, the Vatican confirmed Tuesday. But contrary to advice given by some of the organizers, a stop in his native Argentina is not on the itinerary, increasing the likelihood that vast numbers will travel across the border to Brazil for the eight day visit. Up to 4 million people are expected to turn out to see ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/05/details-of-homebody-popes-first.html
Reading Our Way Into Catholicism CATHOLICMOM.COM - April 17, 2013 ... Imitation of Christ , so I kept that on my nightstand. Those and a few other books from the local Catholic parish, and a few run-ins with a few Catholic friends of mine, and serious time in prayer, and I came to be convinced that God was truly calling us to start going to Mass. When I tell my story, I am not trying to convert anyone. Neither was Stephen, when he told his story . But, it all started because Stephen studied Great Books at St. John's College. He likes to tell people that he read ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Catholicmomcom/~3/rtVnkjqih_k/
Coming Soon...Fatima! LINEN ON THE HEDGEROW - April 16, 2013 This May we shall journey on pilgrimage to Fatima. Sister Lucia of Fatima I have some reservations which appear quite irrelevant and possibly also impolite to Our Lady. First and foremost is the fact that I love Lourdes. I like the way one enters the domain with the entrance surrounded by trashy piety shops selling flashing statues of the saints and rosary beads made out of orange pips and, immediately, a different atmosphere surrounds you. The air of piety increases as ...http://linenonthehedgerow.blogspot.com/2013/04/coming-soonfatima.html

Called to Witness HAND ME DOWN HEAVEN - April 11, 2013 "We are witnesses of these things, as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him." The reading today from the Acts of the Apostles talks about their witness to the Life of Christ and how they, because of that witness, must continue to preach and to teach all they have seen and heard. This passage reminds me of a person I met this past weekend while on vacation with a couple of my children. Two of my daughters and one of their friends and I spent Easter ...http://juliecragon.blogspot.com/2013/04/called-to-witness.html

The Priesthood, Serra and the Institute of Christ the King BATTLE FOR THE CORE - April 9, 2013 ... Jesus suffered so much during his passion for the love of us, I, in turn, was inspired to give my life out of love for him, to give my life to the church and for the salvation of souls. So it's … it was that serving there at the altar for those many years that that's when I really felt the call to serve God as a priest. Canon, can you give us a description of the Institute and what do you think is attracting so many young men towards it?

Second Sunday of Easter Is Divine Mercy Sunday THE REAL PRESENCE FOR US - April 7, 2013 ... grant me the grace that I am asking of You for my country. At that moment, I saw the Lord Jesus, His eyes filled with tears (for the children), and He said to me, You see, My daughter, what great compassion I have for them. Know that it is they who uphold the world. (286) Once when I was having a long talk with Jesus about our students, encouraged by His kindness, I asked Him, "Do You have among our students any who are a comfort to Your Heart?"

Looking Back at Holy Week BACK BAY VIEW - April 7, 2013 The pace of life around here has been hopping more than usual. Our upcoming move has something to do with that – there's been paperwork to fill out, closets to clean out, a walk through with the housing officer who pointed out small repairs we have to patch, school arrangements to be made, online real estate to stare at, eyes glazing over, along with the mental fixation on "what needs to be done next." Holy Week offered a distraction from the minutiae ...http://backbayview.blogspot.com/2013/04/looking-back-at-holy-week.html
Love FAITH AND THE MUSE - April 5, 2013 Two weeks ago, I went to Long Island to spend some much-deserved time away with my other half. Since we were approaching Holy Week, he brought me out to a nearby parish that was hosting a Lenten retreat experience called "Journey to the Cross." The parish hall had been turned into a space of prayer, full of candles and music. The room was divided into 12 stations, each one depicting a particular event from the last week of Jesus' ...http://faithandthemuse.blogspot.com/2013/04/love.html
On Toddlers and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass WHOLLYROAMIN'CATHOLIC - April 4, 2013 I love my toddler. At two-and-a-half years old, Sweet Walburga (not her real name) has blessed our family in ways that we could have never expected. She has also driven me crazy in ways that I could have never expected. Surely, every parent agrees with that feeling. Going to Mass with my family is the highlight of my week. It is also a part of my week that I secretly dread. Because my dear angel Sweet Walburga is very two-and-a-half. Nonetheless, the last 3 weeks ...http://whollyroamincatholic.com/?p=247

Humbling Experience ROSARY MOM - April 1, 2013 Holy Week was busy, emotional and draining all at the same time.

Washing the Feet; A Personal Timeline RANTING CATHOLIC MOM - March 30, 2013 Pope Francis on Holy Thursday washed the feet of teen offenders in a prison, including girls and a Muslim. From when it was announced that he would do this, my life has been flashing before my eyes. I have been recalling in great detail my experiences of Holy Week, from my earliest memories to the present. I'm no Cannon lawyer, and I'm not very good at quoting the catechism.

More than 30 years ago I spent part of a summer working in a suburban parish in the USA. One night at around 11 I did something I rarely did: make a late night phone call, and for no other reason than to say 'Hi'. I phoned a friend who was a teacher whom I had first met eleven years earlier when I was a young priest and she a generous, idealistic but confused 16-year-old. Over the years I saw 'Lily' - I'll call her that ...http://associationofcatholicwomenbloggers.blogspot.com/2013/03/do-not-let-yourselves-be-robbed-of-hope.html
