Journeys of a Catholic Poster Girl

“Our faith needs to be the North Star of our lives. Our behavior needs to match our words.” –Archbishop Charles Chaput

Prayer requests

Just a few:

–first, for the friend of mine I mentioned a few posts ago, and his family. It is much appreciated.

–for me, as I apply for a job at Children’s Hospital in their Marketing/Communciations Department. I really feel that I would be a great asset to them, since I’m sort of walking, talking advertisement for the place anyway… and it’s more pay, which is nice.

–for my pastor as he prepares to leave for St. Agatha’s, and for our new pastor.

–for the band director at my sister’s high school; he’s abut 30 (or younger), with a wife and a baby boy, and was just diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. They are in TX pursuing treatment.

Apparently FireFox is hating me and not allowing me to cut and paste things onto my blogs! So I’m just going to have to tell you fun things I’ve read:

–The WaPo had an article on my cousin, Archbishop Wuerl, and his first year “in office.” If I can ever get this to cut, I’ll post it here, but you can probably find it on the site’s archieves.

–Fr.Z had a great list of five things to do when the M.P. comes out; check out the link of the sidebar to see it. And it IS coming, we swear! Really!

–Note that the MP just allows priests to celebrate the old Latin Mass without getting a bishop’s approval. The old  Mass has always been allowed to be said but you had to get the OK. (if I am wrong about this let me know!)
–In  local news…preparations are underway for my pastor’s Last Mass with us on July 8th at noon. The choir will be singing, and since I will have my CI activated by then, I will join them! YAY! And we are singing some of our best stuff, so it you’re an SPX parishioner be sure to come on out!

–Parish festival prep already! I signed up to work the food booth. Doesn’t everyone love the parish festival?

–Started Evelyn Waugh’s (a man, yes, not a woman, thank you) quintessential Catholic novel, Brideshead Revisted. Very, very good thus far.

–Finished Suffering of Love and Honey from the Rock. Both extremely good.

–Oh, and the ECUSA has a bishop who is both Episcopalian and MUSLIM. You can read about this on Rod’s blog (Crunchy Cons) on the sidebar.  When headlines from The Onion are coming true, that’s got to be a “sign of the apocalypse” (S.I.)
