We cannot predict the turns our lives may take. Last Christmas I had everything any man could ever ask for. I had a beautiful fiancée who I loved dearly, I had 2 families to spend it with. This year, I’m alone. While hard, I find an indescribable peace in prayer.
Sometimes, we must hit rock bottom to really know what it means to follow Christ, to be humbled in Him. To anyone else experiencing hard times, or feeling the light of their happiness start to fade, know that God will never leave your side. He will sustain you if you let him.
@MichaelsRosary@KennethKessner@CarmeliteNick Very much so like receiving Eucharist in hand. Allowed as an exception, but not proper. While there is nothing wrong with seeking a blessing, there is a proper time and place for it.
@MichaelsRosary@KennethKessner@CarmeliteNick Which is what I was told to do back in CCD as a child 20 years ago. It wasn’t until about 5 years ago, when I moved to a solid diocese w/ fantastic priests where I went up and tried it, and was very nicely denied and told to seek a blessing after Mass. He then told me why.
@KennethKessner@MichaelsRosary@CarmeliteNick No, you are wrong here. It is a novelty. It distorts the meaning of the the communion processional and is not in the rubrics of the Mass. The correct time and place to receive a blessing is after Mass. Not to mention, everyone received a blessing at the end of Mass anyways…
@coolmcjazz Again, you don’t know what love is (or bigotry/homophobia) for that matter. To love them is to want what is best for their souls so that they can get to Heaven (e.g. they must repent and CHANGE their ways). What you and Fr. Martin encourage, is the opposite, it’s pure PRIDE.
@MerovingianEJ @JamesMartinSJ You just completely pulled that out of your rear. Your lies and falsehoods are publicly leading others to error and damnation. Repent and don’t follow the wolf that is James Martin. I beg of you.
Made salmon w/ sandefjordsmør tonight.
I recommend for everyone to own a set of traditional patterned china. Don’t just display it, either. Use them! It will turn the ordinary into something special. Your children will remember these meals later on in life. These are Porsgrund
@omnialnchristo Amen! I’m going to Norway this Sept./Oct. Will be visiting many Catholic sites along the way. Looking forward to the St. Olav pilgrimage from Kristin Lavransdatter. I feel it in my heart that the Nordics will eventually be the first to turn back to His bride, the Church!
Wisconsin is quickly becoming a hot spot for the TLM! This place looks awesome! Can’t wait to see it once they spruce up the landscaping and renovate the interior. ICKSP is known for beauty and they do not disappoint!

@VRSNSMV26 @MrsCasey6@DD73862348 I agree, and I guess I didn’t really notice the word ‘unprepared’ in the prayer above. If one had gone to confession and was then given this “gift” of a sudden death, then they were in fact prepared. So, yes, I do think the prayer you are referring to is a good and holy prayer.
