  • 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

Today I was doing my home to home Legion Of Mary work in a pretty deprived area we met 3 young children in a front garden who we had heard discussing "shagging" "prostitutes" "getting hiv" and basically glorifying the idea of being old enough to sleep around, they were speaking all this really loudly and all the neighbours could clearly hear them.

It was shocking that they were probably about 5, 8 and 9 years old yet their vocaulary was so very disgrusting.

We gave the 3 children miraculous medals, one of them was quite excited about this, but I don't know whether they threw them away.

Also pray for their mother who we met briefly but did not want to speak to us, she looked very tired and depressed.

I imagine these kids are just going to end up in a terrible life situation when they are older, it is so sad.

So please pray for them.

Remember O most gracious advocate, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. With this confidence we fly unto thee O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To thee we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me!

This is so sad. I will truly keep these children and their families in my prayers. What a sad world that we live in when little children are so aware of those elements in this world.

God's Peace,

D'Ann
