  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Please pray for my fiance and I

Hey everyone. Would you please pray for my fiancé and I? I've been having a very stressful week with him because he's barely communicating with me. Something very stressful is going on in his life, and he often shuts down and doesn't want to talk much when he's under a lot of stress, but he's really hurting my feelings by ignoring my messages and stuff.

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
I pray that you would relieve the stress that Ave Maria's fiancé is going through right now. When his head is clear, please help him to develop better communication habits for when he is suffering from stress and pain. Help him to understand that Ave Maria is trying to be there for him in his hours of pain and stress and that he doesn't have to constantly perform romance in front of her to be accepted.

And dear Lord, please be there for Ave Maria as well. Some of the human beings you have made, when they are in distress, they need to talk. When someone else is in distress, they need to talk. And some of us, when times are difficult, communication is yet another burden on a too-full mind. Lord, you know well how much I like to withdraw and think and write when I am suffering. You also know how much my boyfriend likes to talk when he is suffering. Help these two to come to a communication balance that works for the two of them, that does not leave either one hurting or overwhelmed.
In Christ's Name,
Amen
