We may listen patiently to someone who needs to talk. We may invite<br />a lonely person to share a meal with us or bring a treat to someone with few<br />friends. We can give alms to good causes, especially those that bring food to<br />the hungry. We can reach out to the discouraged, the suffering, the lonely, the<br />people who feel they are failures or rejected by others.<br /><br /> * Prayer. <br /><br />We may spend some extra time on Friday praying for peace or for a<br />family in need. We may pray with an older person or someone who is sick. We may<br />pray for a person who seems intent on getting in trouble with the law. We may<br />offer prayers for those who persecute others and for their victims. We may pray<br />for those who are in the grip of alcohol or drugs, and for those who are<br />confused. We may pray that more people will offer their talents and their lives<br />in the service of the Church and of other good causes.<br /><br /> * God’s word. <br /><br />Each Friday we may spend some time in reading God’s word. We<br />may read a chapter from the gospel slowly and prayerfully, letting Jesus speak<br />to us. We may pray a psalm, giving praise to God in the words of the Spirit, and<br />asking for help for ourselves and for others. We may read another passage from<br />the scriptures, and let the Spirit of Jesus bring its message alive in our<br />hearts and in our life.<br /><br />We may offer any of these good works for our penances on Friday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654865462543775620.post-69977876527956509772012-11-01T20:33:34.800-04:002012-11-01T20:33:34.800-04:00love the video

I suggest you read history, not the revisionist garbage that you see on the History Channel or written up on Wikipedia. <br /><br />2. Sanger clearly demonized herself. that is a photograph, not a drawing, for which she openly and proudly posed.<br /><br />3. I can't help but question whether you really would bother to spend time actually learning, considering you wouldn't bother to invest 2 seconds to add your name to your comment. Do you really care about this subject? I mean REALLY care? It takes real time and commitment to bother learning and understanding truth.

That's what I feel when I read...Sad, sad, sad. That's what I feel when I read the article and the comments. A deep feeling of sadness. As a former social worker, I am most sad for the children in foster care now who will be harmed by this move and the children who will be harmed by the law itself. <br /> Chris, I hear what you are saying, but I disagree. There are several issues, first of all, its not just a funding issue. The state, I assume, has custody of these children. Therefore, the state decides where they will go. The state has now virtually made CC resign. They know the belief system that CC follows. That's grossly unfair to this organization and the children it serves then to be denied from expressing their beliefs while the state crams down the throat of everyone else its beliefs. The state, in its attempt to not discriminate, is guilty of gross discrimination.<br /> The problem is really a symptom. Gina did explain that Catholics are not LGBT haters. Its true. I have grown up around many very religious persons of varying religions. I offer for your reflection that the Catholic Church is actually the most loving toward homosexual persons. They do not reject the person. They insist on love and celibacy for the homosexual person. They do not say do not come around me or us, they simply offer a hand to a fallen child who, whether they know it or not, are headed for trouble on the eternity scale. What kind of parent could neglect their child in danger?<br /> As for the government money, faith based organizations, I believe can receive federal money. I won't focus too much on the funding because I have not looked into it, and its not the subject of my responsem=. Again, we are talking about children. The state should have minimum standards that they say must be met in order for a child to be placed into a home. They should be safety and stability standards. Other than that, they should not concern themselves. CC has standards they follow, that the state is aware of, and should not be interfered with. If CC is placing these children in safe stable homes, why should the state interfere. Instead, they should be thanking them for providing the children with stability. These are children, not bargaining chips. I fear that we've lost sight of whose rights this really concerns, the prospective LGBT parents, or the child. Its about the child. The child's rights, not the LGBT person. This is not about the LGBT person, or shouldn't be. Its about the child's rights. Nobody has a right to a child. A child is always and forever a free gift from God. This is a consitent problem in the foster care system (again I worked in it as a social worker); we, as a society write laws that concern the parents rights to such a degree that the child's rights are largely trumped or endangered. This is an extension of that mentality.<br /> As for whether or not its the same as discriminating against race, I won't comment too much about, other than offer the following: to say that race and active lifestyle choice are the same is incorrect. In no way are the two categories in the same league. Please note that I said active lifestyle, not sexual orientation. I won't debate here, on this post, whether you are born a homosexual or not. I will certainly submit that the choice to express that sexuality in an active way remains a choice, race clearly is not. They are not in the same category at all. <br /> As for the govenor, I pray for his return to the truth of his faith, which he has clearly, by his actions, gone against. He will have to answer, like all of us, for his actions, so my prayer is that he amend those actions now.<br /> Again, the most upsetting part of it all, is that we are talking about bruised and hurting children,not bargaining chips to be used for a social agenda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
