Well, I didn’t get into an accident
Thanks for the prayers. They definitely helped me have a safe drive (although, rolling on into the largest city in the state on a Friday at 5pm was less than fun) and the doctor stuff, too. I wish I had *good* results to report from the doctor, but I don’t. We talked about what my [...]
A visit to the doc
Today I have my doctor’s appointment. My legs have been hurting for the last three weeks, with the last week really being painful. I sense I might need to go up on the Requip, which is a mixed blessing. The side effects aren’t really bad, as long as I eat a meal with it. However, [...]
Mass Hysteria!
If you’re jonesing for information about the new Mass translation, American Papist can help you as can Moneybags. Everyone in the St. Blog’sophere is blogging about it, so I’ll just punt it over to them. Also, AP is turning 21 over the weekend, which frightens me because for some reason; I thought he was older. [...]
Two-monthaversary
I reckon I could stop with the Confirmation anniversary posts at some point. At any rate, today marks month #2 of being an officially initiated Catholic. Much like the first month, it’s been up and down and up and down and down and down and up and up. Although that’s more of life than anything. [...]
My most deepest thanks
So, a few weeks ago I posted about obtaining an inexpensive copy of Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours. There were a lot of good suggestions and I thank you all for offering them. Dan saw my plea and did something unexpected: he offered to provide me with a copy. Entirely surprised and blown [...]
Oblates of the Order of Saint Benedict
Oblate Homepage I will admit multiple times that Benedictine spirituality scares the daylights out of me. When I think of Benedictines, I think of monks, a very strict way of life, dreary, drab, etc. Obviously, that goes to show how much I knew about Benedictines. The funny thing is that on my keychain, I’ve been [...]
This isn’t what I had in mind. :/
In the silence, I’ve been to Reconciliation, rosary, Adoration, and Mass twice (once Saturday, once today). I need to get into the Reconciliation/rosary/Adoration habit, especially with the summertime I have less commitments for school to make, and thus can devote the time to rosary and especially Adoration. My parish doesn’t have a perpetual adoration chapel, [...]
Fiction can’t hurt…right?
I’ve altered names and such, because well; this be my church. Vandals leave movie-related graffiti on [city] church By The Associated Press Vandals painted words from “The Da Vinci Code” on the front doors of a local Catholic church late Tuesday or early Wednesday, church members said. A groundskeepers at [name] Catholic Church discovered the [...]
St. Angstnomore, pray for me!
If there could be a patron saint against teenage-like angst induced drama; I’d be all up utilizing that person for intercession right about now. Nothing against the teenage population, but I’m really feeling angst-tastic all up in this joint. Obviously, angst, anger, and jealousy are all on the “Things to deal with” list, but it’s [...]
The Lay Orders Interest List
I reckon I should make a list of third orders that I am even remotely interested in: Carmelites Dominicans Servites Passionists Paulines Benedictine Oblates This isn’t a list in order of interest, mind you. Obviously the Carmelites are near and dear to my heart; but I am making myself look into other orders just in [...]
