    My witness

    I was born 24 years ago, and have lived in the same town, Port Glasgow, for the same number of years. I was Baptised and received all of my sacraments in the Catholic church. However, almost 14 years ago, my beloved (and very devout) Grandmother passed away, and, as an 11 year old, I couldn't...

    Why don't we say something nice about the Pope for once?

    Our Pope, is a great man. His humble nature and shyness bely a deep passion for our faith, as someone else said, he's absolutely motivated by the Holy Spirit. He's a wonderfully intelligent man. He isn't John Paul II, and I think that's the main problem for a lot of people. God bless our...

    The Pope's Visit To England And Scotland

    I'm not entirely sure for definite, although that is the figure that's been flying around. However, when you add up the cost of policing Orange walks over the years, I'm sure there's parity there.

    The Pope's Visit To England And Scotland

    In Scotland it's pretty fair to say that there are a lot of people voicing opposition to the Pope's visit, however, I dont think there will be any trouble at the event itself. The Orange Order and atheists are the main detractors, however, it will not spoil my, or anyone else's special day.

    Mood swings

    From time to time I get pretty bad mood swings, it generally only lasts for a few days, but I feel at the lowest I have for a wee while. I think I just need to pray more, and pray harder.
