Why I Have Not Left
I do not want to give details here, but I do want to make a comment on why I stay in a parish where things are, shall we say, less than orthodox. Seriously, don’t ask. This is enough of an occasion of sin for me without adding gossipping. I know more than a few families…
Help
Please pray for my parish as a whole. And please, if you could, pray for me. I am struggling GREATLY with some serious issues here, and I have been upset most of the morning. It’s not going away, and while I know and beleive that Christ holds us in the palm of His hand, I…

It’s That Time Again!
Yup, time for the Catholic Carnival! Owen has the whole deal over at his place. Thanks to Esther for the lovely picture!
