On Encountering God If I have to think on God, and on the nature of an Encounter with God, I come to the opinion that while one can have a theoretical, intellectual "knowledge" of God (though He is beyond our comprehension), the only TRUE knowledge of God (in so far as each soul is capable)...

So I had this dream, where I was standing and St. Michael (at least that's who I thought he was in the dream) gave me a sword, told me to get up and fight and pointed in the distance to where Angels were fighting Demons... The area was basically like Heaven and on the very edge the Demons were...

Well, been a long time since I've posted here, but I wanted to post about a singer/song and about a specific line she says: Specifically she is Brooke Fraser and the song is "Albertine". She's actually a member of Hillsong Church, but we use a lot of their music for our youth. Thing is the...

I've already spoken to a Priest about this, so I already have an answer, but I would be interested in what you all have to say: What are the signs (if any) of a vocation to the Priesthood?

Hi, all. My Parish Priest is in hospital, and he goes under the knife today for a hip op.... please, PLEASE please pray for him. In Christ. Pierre.

Does anyone know where to find mp3's with the rosary (one for each of the mysteries) ? I want to put it on my ipod :P (can't find em?!?!)

http://www.bustedhalo.com/index.htm It's for "Spiritual Seekers" 20-30 years old... I kinda like it :) Father Francois sent it to me today :P

I really wish you could like combine mood icons -- like "happy + romantic + sad + confused" or whatever :P

Why is it that man seeks to meet his own desires rather than those of the One who created him? Even when man knows that what he wants is not what is best for him. When faced with the choice of what he wants, and what God wants for him, surely he would be wise to choose the latter, since God...

Do not let temptation rule over you. Instead, when tempted to do something against the will of God, pray about it. Ask His guidance and strength. Sin is like a cord: sin once and you are bound by a single strand... sin again, and add a second, twisted strand... keep sinning, and you eventually...

Tomorrow at 18:00 the Confirmation candidates at our Parish get confirmed... please say a prayer for them all, that they may be faithful to their gift, that God be always with them :)

St. Patricks Breastplate I bind unto myself today the strong name of the trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, the One in Three. I bind this day to me forever by power of faith Christ's incarnation, His baptism in the Jordan river, his death on the cross for my salvation; His...

What does the Church teach about pre nuptial and anti nuptial agreements before marriages?

I was talking about bishops to my boss... and I realised: I have no clue how one becomes a bishop... or even what the criteria for bishop is? Can someone help answer this? Pierre

Just thought I'd share this --> it's REALLY cool :D

I'm just putting an email together for a friend of mine on "Bilocation" Basically the email is just links to newadvent... but there is a small bit of text. I just wanted to ask if it is correct of me to say this:

In Mass this morning, the Priest said "And He shed His Blood for us" -- My mind ran away with me at that point. To think that God, The Creator of the WORLD would make Himself one of us? Him who SUSTAINS us... All Powerful, Everliving God. And he'd become one of us? On top of that...

Kinda had an odd dream last night; I was there in the Communion line; a mate of mine (girl) pushed me into a girl that I like - the Father looked at me with that dissappointed look of his. Got to the front of the queue: "The Body of Christ" "Amen" -- There were no more Hosts left. So...

I got a question from someone at work; she asked if she should be tithing. so I said, "Yes, you should" so she says "what if the pastor is using the money for personal things?" I asked her "What Church do you belong to?" she says "I belong to a few [denominations]" (I didn't know how...
