Isn't it true, Patricia, that abortion or infanticide of baby girls has been the case in India for centuries upon centuries?

 

Thank you so much for the prayers! I am so very lucky to have a dear family such as you. Yes, I am feeling almost normal in energy.

I absolutely love that prayer, martin. Thanks.

Oh, Patricia! Those Christian Bookstores - dangerous! An old-style picture. Great!

Went to oblate day with a friend who is one. The auxiliary bishop gave a talk and it was so good - plus he is so very funny. One of his jokes referred to a friend's seminary where, since on Friday they didn't eat meat, they ate seafood - crab and lobster. His friend said, "If this is poverty, I sure look forward to seeing chastity". The bishop is also very, very pro-life. As you can guess, I love that.

I have been so busy with company the last few days that it will seem nice to have a day of rest (more than a day or two, though, and I start to go stir-crazy and get lonely). I still haven't heard from the government about my insurance. I'm glad I know how slow they are. It still makes me nervous, though.

Patricia has something there. Being a homemaker definitely has it's pluses. I like it, too. I know that's not PC but ......

I don't know Mormon theology, however my step-father is a Jack-Mormon and I can ask him.

You guys are so very silly.

It's in the Pieta Prayer Book, huh? I'll have to look for one. I don't remember seeing one.

The trouble is, I can take a sorrow or difficulty and feel arrogant about that!

the Mormons I knew stated something like: there are different levels of heaven, each according to merits on earth..... but more children was in the equation...... but each person doesn't feel they have less because that level is for them........ something like that anyway........    
Whatever...........

Brigid I see you're on line.... Bed time in my neck of the woods so I'll pray now for all your needs to St Ann and St Philomena. 


May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
May He lift up His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.  (Numbers 6:24-26)

I don't know that this is the worst time the Church has experienced, for instance look at the Arian Heresy that had such a following of bishops centuries ago. Look at the numerous priests that were taking bribes and having children, etc. Granted, this is a very bad time since the Church is made up of humans, however God is strongest in our weakness.
Sacrilege against the Blessed Sacrament is terrible and it bothers me to no end , however that is due to my own lack of faith :' . We need to pray fervently for the priests and parishioners who don't seem to care and leave the rest to Him.
