  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Is your church having Lent missions? Our church brought in a speaker who was AMAZING!! His name is Friar Johnpaul Cafiero and he's giving a 3 night service speaking about the people who were at the foot of the cross. I went tonight and it was awesome. Check out his website at www.friarjp.com --I should note, that if you're looking for someone to come speak at your church or to a youth group he is an incredible evangelizer. I strongly strongly recommend him.

I'm wondering if anyone else's church is doing mission services? What are you guys talking about?

Gosh I wish I was there!! I have a meditation about that from Adoration-- I am going to write it and post it on Tuesday probably! It is basically that at the Mass we are present at Christ's sacrifice, that is to say at the foot of the Cross. When we look who is there- the Beloved Disciple, she who was forgiven much and therefore loved much, His aunt, and His Mommy-- but through the institution of the Eucharist-- we are also invited to be beloved disciples and gifted with being at the foot of the Cross.

Anyway- I am really rambling, I will try to gather my thoughts and present "My Gift from Adoration Vol. 3- God is Love" on Tuesday ...
