Hello all, I was reading this thread and thinking about religious education for women. I am newly chrismated (July 19th, Glory to God!) and am an infant in the faith. I am moving up to NY to attend St. Vladimir's in a week or two to get an MA in theology. My main reason for doing this is...

Congratulations, choirfiend! I am not married nor have any children myself; but I have a new niece and a sister who is a nanny for many children. My sister mentioned the cups that conform on the babies forehead to wash their hair and help rinse out the suds without getting it into their little...

Thank you, Monica. May the Lord bless you!

Thanks, everyone!!

I think it's important not to forget that being gay is not who you are. It is a battle that you struggle with, a distortion of God's intended purpose for sexual relations within the covenant of marriage. Don't let this sin become your identity. Christ is your identity, you are made new in Him...

Memory eternal

Prayers Lord have Mercy

Glory to God! Wonderful news

I guess I'm just emo. I agree with momabug that arranged marriages tend to work out, and that our society does put too much emphasis on "the one" or else unrealistic expectations for how love and romance will be. I know that there are probably a good deal of people I could be happy with to some...
