I wholeheartedly believe that the intercession of St. Monica was instrumental in saving my brother in the midst of his addiction, and I cannot wait to give her a hug should I be blessed to meet her in heaven

Please pray for Ukraine - our people and our culture.

I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed.

I really like being a lawyer but if I won the lottery, I’d quit my job and devote my days to the study theology and church history instead. Accumulate a degree or three just for the sake of the learning.

My favourite activity is watching my priest’s face when he asks for records of things I did as an Anglican and I have to tell him that absolutely no one felt a need to give us evidence of that

I asked my best friend if she considered my husband and me as potential godparents for her baby, and she informed me she didn’t realize we were baptized??? this is how I learn that some people literally do not know the first thing about what it means to be Catholic I am in awe

Petition for more art portraying Our Lady to have her with crows feet and smile lines and grey hairs.

I want to gaze into her face as she would have been the death of her son - not a fresh faced teenager saying yes to God, but as someone who has experienced half a century of joy and of suffering, the kind motherly face of a woman who has walked with God - and parented God - for decades. The Mary that walks with us saw her son crucified, suffered and carried on, she aged! and she should also be portrayed as such.

[a-really-big-cat]

would she have aged though? in the same line of question as "did she have birthing pains"

[violet-viriditas]

I am entirely unconvinced that Mary did not experience labour pains but that aside, the idea that she did not is based on the idea that she was free from original sin (and labour pains are the consequence of original sin), and I don’t see any indication that would apply to normal aging?

Some TradCath on the Internet: “The man is the spiritual head of the household, and his wife must come to him with all spiritual questions and NEVER correct him outright.”

My husband to me: “Hey can I ask you a question? I want to make sure I’m not accidentally believing heresy.”
