I’m not out of my depth when interacting with adults in RCIA. I somewhat nervously will help to present the evening if asked to do so and am quite within the realms of leading or encouraging group discussion and keeping it on track, prompting thought, discouraging error etc… but I’m not quite sure how [...]

Bruised boy!
My son finally arrived home tonight from his activity week of canoeing, bouldering, absailing, archery,biking and walking. But oh my, he is covered in bruises! The first thing I asked him is if someone had hurt him! Fortunately these were accidental injuries sustained while ‘toughing it out’ to complete the designated excercises. [...]

The Body of Christ
Today I’ve got to do some work on my essay. Out of all the essay titles I could choose from, I chose to write on the ‘Image of the Body of Christ’, because it is so dense and mutli-faceted. So I ask you, what does the Body of Christ mean to you. [...]

What makes me me
by way of Barbara
I AM: A Catholic Christian. A contradiction (but not where it counts). A mother, a daughter, a sister. A member of the Body of Christ. A witness. A believer.
I SAID: All the wrong things, almost all of the time.
I WANT: my children to live long, healthy [...]

Father’s Meme
By way of Donna
Five thing my Father taught me~
To swim. He made me jump in. I spluttered and scrambled to stay afloat. He put his strong arms beneath my tummy and held me in the water until I could co-ordinate the leg and arm movements. Took what seems like months [...]

I kicked my son out
Yep. I kicked my ten years old son out of the house this morning. I even packed his bags myself. Clothes -check, inhalers -check, toiletries -check. I waved him off almost a little too enthusiastically all the while getting more than a smidgen choked up on the inside. Why did [...]

The Orthodox Church
For my Orthodox friends.
I snapped this pic as I was making my way out of Walsingham last month, it’s an Orthodox Church that also has a gift shop inside, sadly the coach was waiting and I hadn’t the time to go inside and have a look around :-(
I just found this great link to [...]

Blog Visiting Etiquette
Maybe I worry too much, but it bothers me that oftentimes I don’t get around to blog visiting as I used to do before I became so busy in real time. I believe I’ve lost a friend or two over the years because of it, and perhaps I shouldn’t be as concerned about it [...]

Death
I need to talk a while.
Funny really, but today I was discussing with Fr. the circumstances of Steve’s death. It’s the first time I’d had so personal a conversation with him outside of confession. He just listened, as all good priests do. I really don’t know why I started talking, oh yes, [...]

May the force, erm, peace, be with you
So. Wonderboy got into trouble this morning at school, and rightly so. He was encouraged by a classmate during Mass, to say ‘may the force be with you’ at the sign of the peace, and was sucker enough to do it. Kid’s eh?
I mean, yep,as a Star Wars fan I guess he [...]

Fat Girl
When my friend bought me a book entitled ‘Conversations with a Fat Girl’ the other day, do you think I should have been worried? Nah, after all, for her birthday I’d given her a copy of ‘Grumpy Old Women’ .
Besides, I’ve just finished reading it and I’m going to lend it to her anyway [...]

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity Prayer
Father, you sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy. Through them we come to know the mystery of your life. Help us to worship you, one God in three Persons, by proclaiming and living our faith in your. Grant this through our [...]

Do my boobs look big in this?
Lorna had an interesting encounter recently.
I thought I was the only one who had such wierd interactions with strangers…but this is most bizzarre. Go read the post and then you’ll understand where I’m coming from!
The problem is that for many people, a cross or crucifix has become nothing more than a piece of jewellery [...]
