I'm not sure about the situation in England, but in the US my understanding is that the NAB is going to be revised along with the Lectionary for Mass so they correspond. They are currently roughly the same, but due to some revisions to the lectionary there isn't a 1:1 correspondence in every...

That's one way of saying it :). We've been really blessed to have him and most of the students love him. He's a great pastor and has done a lot of great things with campus ministry so far.

Thanks for that as well, service activities are definitely something we could work on...

Thanks for the posts. I should have added that our church is actually in the middle of campus and we do have daily Mass and adoration once a week for a few hours (our pastor gets pretty excited about Adoration). We also normally offer penance services during Advent and Lent. Retreats are a...

+JMJ+ Glory to Jesus Christ! I realize that it's probably been almost a year since I've been on CF, but I just wanted to drop in and say "hello" to everyone and ask a quick question. I go to a public university where Catholic campus ministry is in the process of building some strong programs...

Brother_Justin, May God bless you in your discernment. I pray that God's will may be done for you.

I've heard good things.

I personally prefer to receive on the tounge, but I recognize reception on the hand as a perfectly legitimate option where it has been allowed. Catechetically, I do think everyone should be taught how to receive on the tounge because it is the normative way in the Latin Church throughout the...

A lot of nuns and sisters still wear the habit. In fact, most of the rapidly growing communities are the ones that do.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I really appreciate it.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any idea of what a good Catholic translation of the Bible in Spanish would be. I was thinking of getting one and I've seen a number of Catholic Bibles, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to different translations. Any help would be greatly...

My understanding is that any validly ordained bishop can ordain validly another bishop. This is why we would believe the Eastern Orthodox Churches have valid orders even though we had been mutually excommunicating each other until about the 1960's. I'm not sure what makes these cases different...

In other places I've seen this change attributed to the Holy Father who has the final word on all liturgical translations. We probably won't see this change for awhile, though. My guess is that they'll hold off until the USCCB approves the proper texts for the Roman Missal from ICEL and Rome...

Hey everyone, I hope you all are having a very blessed Thanksgiving. This summer I am going to be studying abroad in Spain for 8 weeks or so and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Catholic things to do for a 20-year old in the Sevilla area. It's a huge city, and I know they have quite...

Es extraño, pero si yo encontrara español en los sueños, sería pesadilla. Español es mi concentración de estudias en la universidad y puede ser dolor de cabeza a veces. In any case, I hope school is going well for everyone. God bless

Thanks for posting that...it's probably one of my favorite Marian poems. It's probably one of the easiest ways (for me at least) to understand Mary's role in our lives.

Christian Prayer is probably your best bet. Honestly, I would talk to a priest or have someone actually show you how to use it because it can be very complicated until you get the hang of it. www.ebreviary.net is a pay-for service (although they do have some free examples) that may also be a...

The Liturgy of the Hours went through a lot of reforms (along with the other liturgies of the Church) after the Second Vatican Council. The current breviary has 7 hours. The Office of Readings consists of a hymn, 3 psalms (or three parts of a long psalm), a reading from the Bible and a reading...

That's interesting that you say that...I feel like I'm in a similar situation. I'm discerning the priesthood, but I really feel that my current university is where I need to be at now. I know I'm not ready to enter yet, but I was thinking of applying towards the end of my undergrad so I can...

Congratulations, welcome to the confraternity! The brown scapular is probably one of my favorite sacramentals...wearing it is like a perpetual prayer. It's comforting to know you're always under the mantle of Our Lady's protection.
