This morning, I woke up early, threw my hair in a ponytail, got the kids dressed (with Joshua's help) and headed off to Mass (with the kids, but without Joshua). Our pastor was offering the Mass today in Thanksgiving for Pope Benedict XVI and I wanted to be there, as it would be the last Mass where we would hear...

"But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son,- but the Father alone." Matthew 24:36 I've seen a lot of discussion around the interwebs these past few weeks, about the end times. It seems that many people are buying in to prophesies about the end of the world and tying them into...

Have you seen this? It's a pretty cool thing to do, adopting a Cardinal to pray for leading up to and including (and I'm sure after) the upcoming Conclave. I am praying for Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, O.P. from Austria. Who are you praying for?

Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body. Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled,...

I saw that my parish website had been updated and clicked over to see what was new.
