My Little Catholic Corner

This is my space to be Catholic and profess my views.

I really miss the diocese I grew up in.

Could you guys help me out? Could you reblog if you are a Catholic blogger (you don’t have to post only Catholic posts)? I’m looking to follow more people. Thanks!

I made a series of Calming Bunnies (based off of the Calming Manatee meme) for my friend Gab, who isn’t a huge fan of manatees!

We can always use more bunnies, I think.

I’m crying so hard right now

Every time you make a negative statement, stop and think of a positive to go with it.

Reblog if your tumblr picture is actually you.

A pastor in Seoul, South Korea has created a “baby box” for people so that people who would otherwise abandon or kill their newborns can leave them somewhere safe instead. The box has a light, a towel lining, and a bell rings as soon as a baby is placed in it so the pastor, his wife, or one of his staff can come and get it right away.

Lee Jong-rak started the box in 2009, and has welcomed all babies, often disabled or the children of single mothers, that have been placed in the box since. The babies are given a loving home, food, and shelter in his orphanage. Currently, an average of 17-18 babies are placed in the box every month. 

One mother who had considered poisoning her baby before she heard about the Baby Box left her baby in the box with a letter pinned to his clothing that read: 

‘My baby! Mom is so sorry. I am so sorry to make this decision. My son! I hope you to meet great parents, And I am very very sorry. I don’t deserve to say a word. sorry, sorry, and I love you my son. Mom loves you more than anything else. I leave you here because I don’t know who your father is. I used to think about something bad but I guess this box is safer for you. That’s why I decided to leave you here. My son, Please forgive me.’ - ‘A single mother’s tearful letter’

Lee Jong-rak is the subject of a documentary called “The Drop Box”, which I haven’t seen - but I can recommend this 13 minute Dateline video. You can find the Facebook page for the BabyBox here.

Save all the babies.

Remember to go through and think of the good things that happened to you, the people you love, and the things you like about your life.

Thank God for each one every night.

Thankies.

17. Favorite Apostle?

Gotta love my boy, Peter. He is an inspiration but was also obviously flawed so he's super relatable.

19. Last spiritual reading you did?

Butler's Saint for the Day by Paul Burns. 

21. Last time you prayed the Rosary?

The last time I went to confession!

Thanks, darling! God Bless

SQUEEE

5. Favorite Saint growing up?

St. Anthony would help me out a lot so I was pretty chill with that homeboy.

7. Favorite Old Testament Story?

OOoh, um... Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Is that weird. I think maybe that's a weird story to like.

20.  Last time you went to Adoration?

There was perpetual adoration for the end to abortion during Lent, so that was it.

22. Favorite mystery of the Rosary?

Does this mean grouping or specific? I like the Luminous mysteries and the Wedding at Cana in particular.

39. If you allowed the Holy Spirit to take you over for one week, what do you think would happen?

Pure awesomeness? I don't know. I haven't fully figured out the extent of my purpose in God's plan, but I think it put me on the path towards fulfilling that. This... I'm not sure how to answer this, actually.

Thanks so much! God bless.
