February 27, 2007 by Kathy Leave a Comment

“Offering it up” — if you were raised Catholic, chances are you were told this more times than you can count. But what does it all mean? Danielle Bean has a great posting on how we can really apply that to our lives, and what it really means. Dissatisfied with certain aspects of your parish? … [Read more…]

From Fr. Dwight Longenecker

…comes wonderful posting on “The Church Mediocre.” Please make sure you take the time to read the links he gives in there as well! And it is nice to know that I’m not the only one who has felt so… depressed… sitting in the pew and seeing bored faces, people chewing gum, and singing absolutely … [Read more…]

Year of the Family February 9, 2007 Dear Pastors and Parish Life Facilitators, I invite all parishes in the Diocese of Charleston to begin the celebration of the Year of the Family by reclaiming the Sabbath for God and family.

Ah, the Holy Father understands…

February 25, 2007 by Kathy Leave a Comment

“I must confess a personal weakness,” the Pope said, when answering a question about priestly activities. “At night, I find it difficult to pray. I just want to sleep,” he said to much applause. “Nevertheless, it is really necessary to find some time for the Lord.” From Rachel Balducci’s blog Testosterhome For the full story, … [Read more…]

Just call me “Mee-Mee”

February 22, 2007 by Kathy 2 Comments

Marie’s first word was “ma ma.” I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was that finally, after six children, ONE of them decided to say “ma ma” first! (just so you know, my oldest child, Sean, actually said his version of “quesadilla” before he said Mommy. That’s how sad it is…) It was … [Read more…]

Let’s hear it for the Baptists!!

February 22, 2007 by Kathy Leave a Comment

From the Baptist Standard: how two Baptist churches celebrate the season of Lent. To quote one of the pastors: “In my opinion, the full impact of the Easter message takes affect only when you walk through the dark shadows of the cross,” Clingenpeel said. “It’s a penitent season, and the Lenten activities remind us that … [Read more…]

Weekly Communion

February 22, 2007 by Kathy Leave a Comment

The Internet Monk once again has written a wonderful post — this time, on how he, as a Protestant, views the need for weekly Communion. In it he states: Virtually eliminating what Christ gave to us to be at the very center or worship is trading away our great inheritance for trinkets and decoration. Restoring … [Read more…]

Ash Wednesday

February 22, 2007 by Kathy Leave a Comment

Once again, I am really excited about the start of Lent. It sounds odd, I suppose, to be excited about a season of fasting, abstaining, almsgiving, and penance. When I was a child I dreaded it — giving up something was sooooooooooo hard, and those fried egg sandwiches Mom made for our lunches were enough … [Read more…]
