I'm not sure about fr Kevin. Will have to check. I'm working in kurri fri so will call in after work and see who is there. I know that reconciliation is usually on at kurri on a sat afternoon. At cessnock I think it is on Sat morning, but I don't even know where the confessionals are at...

You can use this with a favourite short bible verse. So when you breathe in say the first part of the verse and then as you breathe out, the second part. Like, breathe in "Lord Jesus Christ" Breathe out "Grant me peace" or something like that.

I'm really looking forward to it. But I'm nervous about seeing the priest. Thank you for all your kind words.

Thankyou. I am hoping to speak to a priest tomorrow before work, so I maybe able to arrange something. That way I can go to Mass this Sunday. I'm very excited about going back, but am a little nervous about it. I've been through a similar period before, and when I spoke to the priest then...

I have been away from the church for a while now, and would like to return to Mass. I'm not sure if I should wait and speak to a priest first for reconciliation or if it is ok to go back before that?

Yeah. Especially when I have a very unhappy bubba who just wants to snuggle :)

One of those things would be the 3000 word essay that I am trying to finish....

It wasn't material blessings I ask for, just things like strength to get through tough situations.

When I read that, I felt tears. I think you have just hit the nail on the head. Thanyou so much! I will take that to Him in prayer and wait to see where He leads.

I find it amusing that in a discussion about women ordination, there is only one post actually written by a woman. But since men make most of the decisions regarding what is and is not acceptable for women in society anyway, why should this not spill over into religious life.

We are not at just over 14 months and I'm back at fulltime work and he is still breastfeeding well. I was so nervous about going back to work, I wasn't sure how either of us would cope and it took 6 weeks until he actually could be dropped off at day care without tears, but he seems to be...

Do you think that they will allow certain Catholic trained priests to be married? On one hand I can understand that they want to accept people into the faith, but what about those Catholics who have in the past had to choose.

I would like to ask a question to those that are more spiritually mature and have gone through a similar situation or perhaps those that aren't more spiritually mature but have experienced it or are experiencing it now...so basically anyone :) I am finding that I feel like I have no right to...

If you are that worried, just sleep her with you. Otherwise you will be awake all night worrying about it. Babies are designed to sleep with their mummy's anyway.

I am pretty much parenting differently this time around. I wear DS, we share a bed, I breastfeed on demand, cloth nappies. With DD I was so paranoid about "doing it right" that I totally lost the ability to listen to my heart. That is what I am doing this time, and I also approach parenting with...

Hi Ladies, it's been a while! I'm so busy with 2 now. I am still breastfeeding, we are at 4.5 months now, and it is going great. We also cosleep, and he still nurses reguarly through the night, but I don't have a problem with it, I am still feeling well rested. He has just got his two bottom...

Apparently, the reason they don't have it there is due to the yeast content. It won't pass the FDA or something like that. How do they feel about imports though cos I'd be happy to send you some jars, I can't imagine being without it... Vegemite sandwhiches are as popular here as the peanut...

You know, I think I actually missed the point...because I'm a moron.... It;s more of a tongue in cheek thing towards the government/wall street is it not?? I totally blame the fact that (except for last night) I haven't had more than 3 hrs sleep in one go for a while...
