The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart
Today is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and tomorrow is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Two hearts, forever entwined; one saved us, the other brings us to our Savior. I’ve been having a real up and down time going on, spiritual aridity according to some, dark night of the soul according [...]
Mom Update
Thanks for all your prayers about my mom. Her non PD-Doctor is adjusting her blood pressure meds to hopefully get it under control. Her leg is still a little swollen up, though; so her doctor is going to wait for it to see if it gets a little less swollen, then have a stress test [...]
My attempt at making a pre-school RE curriculum
I’ve spent today working on the curriculum for the pre-school Religious Education program. It’s a lot more complex than I had originally thought, but now that I have a “plan of attack”, things are a bit easier. I’m still waiting to hear from the Director of Religious Education to see how long the RE program [...]
Prayer request!!
Um, another prayer request, if you all could oblige. My mom has Parkinson’s Disease, diagnosed in 2005. In the last two years, her doctors have been wishy-washy about whether or not was an accurate diagnosis, since she had something called thoracic outlet syndrome, which apparently gave her symptoms that looked rather Parkinsonian. However, her docs [...]

Pre-Cana: almost done!
The last step of Pre-Cana is finally getting taken care of! We had to do the “Pre-Marriage Inventories” before doing the Pre-Cana weekend, which we’ve done. However, we ran into a pickle with the counseling part, since 1) we couldn’t afford to use the private counselor and 2) we really felt like we should talk [...]
Deo Gratias!
My parish, 2006 Today is the 100th anniversary of my parish’s laying of the cornerstone. Praise be to God! In the last 100 years, the city has developed and changed. Yet, my parish remains in the original spot – downtown – and has been almost a little beacon to the city, especially those heading downtown. [...]
Observations on wearing a headcovering
So wearing a headcovering has been something of an experience. I wore one to Mass on Sunday. I don’t think I stood too much, which was nice. I’ve also been wearing one around the house and out and about. My fiance really enjoys the headcovering, especially when I wear it out in public. We went [...]
Headcoverings
After hemming and hawing for a good number of months, I’ve finally decided to Take The Plunge and wear a headcovering at Mass. :-O, I know. I feel obligated to give the “I’m not becoming a RadTrad” disclaimer, so there you go. A lot of this is coming from 1 Corinthians 11 and Canon Law, [...]
