Critical Mass

I’m probably going to end up repeating myself a lot on this blog, but praying the Liturgy of the Hours/Christian Prayer really gets me sometimes — and I just have to share! :)
To you, Lord, we lift up our souls; rescue us, do not let us be put to shame for calling out to [...]

On the drive in this morning, it was raining and I was driving perhaps a little more carefully, because I was thinking over the bills I needed to pay during lunchtime, and realized that my car insurance was a little overdue. (Hey, it was Holy Week! I had other things to think about!)

H/T to Jennie C.

This is a rather disturbing image. Jennie (the other Jennie :) is right, it looks like religious icon art. You know, I do hope that President Obama becomes a saint one day. I hope that everyone makes it home. However, with his public actions, especially regarding life [...]

I know that God’s kingdom is not only beyond my
effort, but also beyond my vision.

I like this one:
God our Father,
you conquer the darkness of ignorance
by the light of your Word.
Strengthen within our hearts
the faith you have given us;
let not temptation ever quench the fire

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, [...]
