Actually, it was supposed to happen today, but when I called, I learned that the Priest had been ill so they rescheduled for tomorrow. I'm hoping he makes it through the nght, it will give my mom much comfort and peace if he can receive this sacrament. Thoughts and prayers are always welcome.

Hi everyone...i know I've been scarse of late, been struggling with staying on C.F. in light of the current political climate and the way many Christians embrace it. But TLT kind of feels a bit like family, and i wanted to sharethat it looks like my father is dying....he's been ill for many...

Vatican rules the Body of Christ can’t be gluten free I'm posting this for discussion, but my feelings are that Celiac disease is a real thing (though I think the notion that all people should avoid gluten is more of a fad) and that there's no reason those people suffering from Celiac couldn't...

Father James Martin: Should we sing patriotic songs at Mass? Probably not. I noticed it seemed very out of place this year when Sunday's Mass ended with America the Beautiful...I thought it was the mixed feelings which I'm experiencing this Fourth, but the theme of the readings also...

Ok, I'm a day or two late, but here's a new thread for a new season. It's time for me to turn over a bit of a new leaf...I think I've been a bit too angry, and snarky since November, and it's time I move forward. Summer is a good time for that for me, some of the stressors of the academic year...

Trump’s war on the environment is a war on the young and the unborn Of all the awfull things Trump has done or hopes to do, this may be the worst and most anti-life.

So we have out special election tomorrow to elect our lone house member, Rob Quist (D) a well known musician, vs Greg Gianforte (R), a YEC and founder of a start up tech company that he sold to Oracle. Despite being a red state, Gianforte lost to a Democrat in thr Governors race in November...

I saw a thread today about Pope Francis' comments speaking against using human embryos for research. The thread took the direction of reflection of the Pope's comments in the context of traditional /liberal/pro life... but it got me thinking, what is the proper/ethical thing to do with frozen...

Hi everyone I'm just one day away from finishing up a very busy semester! Looking forward to some serious housekeeping, trying to get up to speed on running, and then a family road trip! How's everyone else doing?

So my old thread got a little buried, and I figured it might be easier to create a new one than look for it....yeah, I guess I could just use search.:) Anyway, in a nutshell, I'm adopted, and no nothing of any birth family, but the state I was born in has just passed a law that came into...

Our Newfoundland (very large, gentle and fluffy dog) is in some pain and we're going to take her to the vet tomorrow. We're worried it's hip displasia. ..X rays earlier show it's a problem she's likely to have. Anyway, thoughts, prayers, etc...couldn't hurt. Thanks

First-degree murder charge filed in possible hate crime shooting at Olathe’s Austins bar Things are not looking so good in the US right now, especially for minorities. A comment from Trump denouncing this would have been nice.

January seems like a good month to renew this thread for 2017, so I got it in at the last minute :) This is hopefully a fun and supportive place to talk about health, fitness, sports, outdoors, goals, and share pictures and any results. So, what does everyone enjoy doing to get moving? Any...

I've known for a long time that I'm adopted, and I'm also a birth mom as well as a mom to my two sons. I've had a half hearted interest in finding out about my birth family, my ethnic makeup, and family health history. Maybe because of a milestone birthday this year, or because of my kids, or...

I've also shared this story in OBOB politics, but it was suggested I share it here, and I think that's a good idea. ...I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts. Rev Jeffress has said some things that are very anti Catholic, in addition to his anti Mormon and anti Islam views. Pastor Robert...

"Jeffress has also called Islam and Mormonism heresies "from the pit of hell,"suggested that the Catholic church was led astray by Satan, accused Obama of "paving the way" for the Antichrist and spread false statistics about the prevalence of HIV among gays" Pastor Robert Jeffress scheduled to...

I'd like to open a space to discuss this....your views on receiving Communion. Without going into too many details, according to some, I'm sure, I should not receive, but when I've discussed my marriage situation with two priests, they have encouraged me to not stay away from the sacrament...

RNC Message Celebrating Christmas This is yuge! “Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the...

Merry Christmas! This space has been a very positive place for me, and I thank you all. Last night, enjoying a few real days off, I had some time to read and picked up A Holy Longing again. It made me think of all the great recommendations and discussions I've been part of here, and how much...

And sadly, what I think I'm losing is Catholicism. I'm at a low point in my battle to stay Catholic in part because of the strong anti science pushback the Pope gets when he tackles the critical issue of climate change. It doesn't help that there seems to be a bit of a resurgence of literalism...
