• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Prayer requests post here!

Some friends at church, a lovely young couple, just found out that their newborn baby will require a big surgery. Prayers for them and for the medical staff that will be helping them!

UPDATE: Baby is completely fine! With God's help, her issues resolved "on their own". The doctors are still vigilant & at some point when she is older she might need a minor procedure if it becomes a problem again, but no reason as of now to believe she'll need even that minor procedure as she really is ok now. Glory to God for all things!!

Please pray for my Mother who has been identified as positive with COVID-19, and has other underlying issues.

The worst thing is I am out of the country, and won't be able to see anytime soon.

Lord have mercy on Carol!

It's my birthday. A reminder of another wasted year and a future of nothingness. A day to realize that I don't know if I can manage to the next, because there is no way to climb up from this pit. I am waste and cast out.

I can't be with other people. I can't really cope in community. I can't be anyone or anything. There's nothing here for anyone. I've been raped too many times. There was never anything for me except the four walls of my room. I can't escape. I'm going insane.

It's my birthday and I wish I wasn't born.

You're not a waste at all! Your life is a beautiful gift from God! :) Take a moment to breath, and know that you are loved by God as He is our Father! You wouldn't be here if it wasn't by the purposeful intention of God!

Please be sure to speak with your priest about this as soon as possible!

Unfortunately my Mother passed away this morning at 0715 Eastern time. Thank you to everyone who prayed for her. May her memory be eternal.

Lord have mercy on your Servant Carol!! Let her pass from this world into the next with the loving care, and kindness of your beautiful angels to guide her, and only then through your Great, and Ineffable Mercy!!!

Glory to the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen!!!!

I'm doing better. I tend to get depressed around my birthdays and usually it's just a few weeks of melancholy leading up to the day, but this time (I think because of life stress) I was too busy to be melancholic and it all hit me at once, and is still lingering.

This Sunday was my day to be at the liturgy, so that was very good for me.

Thank you for your prayers.
