consecration day

Nancy, I got your mail this week and have read the CH Way of Life book. It is perfectly wonderful! Thank you so much for sending it to me 🙂 I will email you soon to chat more about it...but I would like to ask if I am able to make the individual consecration now, or do I wait to see if I am accepted by the group in a few years time? Bless you, xoxox
Hi, Trish! The individual consecration is a private prayer, and you can say it anytime you want. It is considered a devotional ac, and even when done with others it's between you and God. We just would not make a written record of it (we have a book for signing... and people not in the physical presence of the book sign stickers that are then stuck into it) (my first recorded consecration was done that way... I was in AUSTRALIA!). It is a grandchild-day for me, but let's talk by e-mail really soon.... okay?! 🙂 I have a particular idea 😉 ❤
Thank you for explaining that, Nancy 🙂 I'm looking forward to hearing all about your idea!! ❤
I was thinking you could pray it while we have a bit of prayer together at the Fountain, but only you and I need to know that was included. Want to do it now, along with the Divine praises, or would you rather wait?
Oh, now please!! Hallelujah! Praise Jesus...xox
Okay! Let me go get my own copy and I'll pray right...oops jus got a phon call. back in a sec..
I'm back - so sorry!
Hope you're still here 🙂. I knew the call would be brief, and was someone who had to ask me about plans for tomorrow. Otherwise I would not have answered. Again - so sorry~
No worries 🙂
Would you like to just pray right here? You can type in the first word, then I'll chime right in. Then you can type int he last word when you're finished. Make sense? Lord Jesus, we do this for Your glory!!!!!!
we can even do the group one after, IF you feel okay with that. As an acto of devotion.
Are typing the Divine Praise or the consecration? I'd love to do the group one with you, dear Nancy!
Just the consecration... the individual, then the last word of that. Then how about I type the first word of the GROUP consecration as your signal to join our voices together then. We can do the divine praises after, What do you think?
I don't think I made any sense!!
Wonderful..thank you!
Are you ready to pray the individual? If so, type fist word
My..
through Jesus Christ, my only Lord, I pray. May God bless Trish!
I pray.
Trish, are you ready to join our hearts and voices in the group prayer?
??
If so, just type yes
If not, that's fine - we can wait
Yes!
Lord God, we believe you have called each of us..........
We ask this through Jess Christ our Lord. Amen,
through JESUS Christ our Lord. !!!
Amen!!
Trish, that was sort of emotional for me! I have prayed and heart these prayers all over... In Visitation monasteries with nuns in attendance, in chapels, in retreat houses, in living rooms, before the Blessed Sacrament..... but the first time I ever said and heard them I was in Australia, and my friend and I were praying them with people in my hometown in the States. It is OBVIOUS that God has an across the earth plan for this. And that Australia is the other "side" of it from where I am. GOD BE PRAISED.
Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man. Blessed be the name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her glorious Assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His angels and in His Saints. May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.
Amen and amen
How wonderful is our God?!! Thank you so very much, Nancy! This is a very precious moment for me! I understand why you are emotional too ❤
Here I am kneeling at my kitchen table..in one heart and mind with you and our dear Lord Jesus! May my life bring Him nothing but glory for the rest of my days!
God has His plans. This just felt right, like the right time. Again, it is a private act of devotion, but I assure you that I AM zealous for your holiness and I AM so thankful we are on this journey together. I will at least write the date and your name on a piece of paper and tuck it into our consecrations book. I have a feeling God is doing something new, now. We will watch what unfolds.
Thank you so much! I greatly value your zeal for my soul's sanctifcation. I love you dearly in the Lord and regard you as my spiritual mother ❤ God bless you always and give you grace upon grace to lead His Cloistered Hearts to Heaven and His arms!
Thank you, my dear sister. I am keeping you in prayer! With thanks to God. Have a BLESSED day! ❤
You have a very blessed night, Nancy! You know something...I actually lost all internet power the minute I finished the individual consecration and had to re-boot! NOTHING was going to stop this from happening today - praise the LORD!! xx
Praise Him indeed! +
+ ❤ +!
Hello dear Nancy 🙂 ..I'm just popping in to ask if there is there any chance I'll be hearing from Lyn soon? I'm wondering when I'll be starting the CH formation program...and how long the 'inquirer' stage goes for...and what would be the next level of association. Sorry to bother you so much....! I hope you are keeping well and are not too worn out by your new CH series. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication....you are a such a blessing! ❤
You'll be hearing form me by your morning, I hope. I just sent you an e-mail. Then you'll be hearing from Lyn. She has been busy with family needs (traveling to first sacraments for grandchildren, plus the 2 she is helping raise are just getting out of school for summer) and I'm shuffling 3 computers (one of those being a genuine dinosaur.. it's where i am writing now). So please forgive my pokey-slows! ❤
Nancy, I am praying for you as well as Sr Anne-Marguerite. As her friend..it must be so difficult for you to know of her suffering and need of a miraculous healing.. May Jesus be glorified through it and His merciful Will be done! Is this the Sr you were to speak to after Easter..about the future direction for Cloistered Hearts? She has such a beautiful shining spirit...❤
Trish, Sister Anne-Marguerite is a friend, but not a hugely CLOSE friend. I'm so sorry things came across that way, for I am not the one who needs prayer. Her Sisters do!!!! These Sisters as a community are ones I have been close to since 1993 ... well, as much as one can be to an enclosed monastic community.... and it's rather like Sister is one of the children in a family one gets quite close to - know what I mean? She is only a few years older than my own children. There are a few other Sisters in this Community that I am closer friends with - where we write to each other and that sort of thing (Sr. A M and I have never done that, except for a few notes). One of their other nuns is at another Visitation monastery now (that rarely happens, but there was a need elsewhere for her), and she is the one I am in touch with for community spiritual direction. She is in another FULLY enclosed monastery (in the US there are 1st and 2nd Federations of Visitation... 1st observes papal enclosure, wears full habit, etc... 2nd Fed. observe constitutional enclosure, wear modified habits, have varying active apostolates). I stress this only because it is the fully enclosed who can usually be counted on to adhere firmly to Church teaching. Not that some others don't, of course - but frankly, in the 2nd Federation it varies widely.

Thank you so much for your prayer for Sister AM and her Sisters! And in case you (personally) 🙂 would like to know, my closest personal friend in Tyringham is shown in the video when the camera goes to the "gathering room" (where Sisters greet a crowd of others over the dividing wall). The camera comes in at one point and a very lively and friendly-faced Sister with glasses points or nods briefly toward the camera, obviously telling the lady she's talking to that the camera is there. The lady (in dark blue) has her back to the camera, but turns around and looks at the camera too. It's all very brief. That nun is a very dear "we-write-to-each-other-and-have-visits-when-I'm-there" soul friend of mine (and of Lyn's) (but no, she is not the one we talk with for spiritual direction.. that Sister was already elsewhere). Oh, and the lady in blue who looks back at the camera? Her name is Mary - and she is a "cloistered heart." 😀 !

This community is the most thriving Visitation one in the US! I don't know any of their newest members, as I haven't been up there in 10 years or so (I physically can't make it). They moved from Delaware in 1993 because they were outgrowing their old monastery!!! But they don't interact a whole lot with the outside world... which is probably part of their attraction.

This is too long for a FB message, surely! Sorry!
No, Nancy..it's not too long at all 🙂 Thanks for explaining so much to me. I am certainly praying for Sr's community... poor things! I know about the two confederations of the Visitation...pity we don't have any here in Australia. Your 'soul friend' looks lovely and I'm sure she is a wonderful person 🙂 Mary looks lovely too. I see a "friend" of sorts amongst the nuns there too. Rosalind Moss..now Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God! She and I were writing to one another as far back as 5 years ago..I'm familiar with her through the Association of Hebrew Catholics which is headed up by her brother David and which I joined over 10 years ago. Used to watch her on EWTN and was thrilled when she began her order of nuns. They were to be Visitation nuns at first but the order is Benedictine now. I have been waiting to see what Rosalind is doing about oblates as she told me they would accept overseas oblates. It's been taking quite a long time though....one thing I've learned is that NOTHING happens very quickly in monastic life, lol! ❤
Big smile about "nothing happens very quickly in monastic life." 😀 !!

I knew you knew Rosalind Moss, but hadn't realized you "knew" her. I hadn't known that her nuns were once going to be Visitation!! Although I realized she was doing her (novitiate?) at Tyringham. I made my last trip to the Berkshires before she entered there. Big sigh. I miss that area very much, and seeing friends in various points around. You might know that the Marian priests at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy at Eden Hill in Stockbridge are the chaplain to the Visitandines there (the shrine is about a 10-20 minute drive from the monastery depending on weather) Oh, such a long siiiiiiiiiigh.....
Trish, I talked of Federations because there are no Visitation communities in Australia, and the European federation model is quite different... apparently it's geographically based there.
Hi, Trish! Just adding a note to the concerns about Lindy, but feel sensitive to her feelings if she re-activates her FB acct. and can then see the Fountain - I wouldn't want anyone to think we were "second guessing" them at all. Heavens no! So Im sending this just to you, to say I had 2 comments on blog posts just now from Lindy and she seems totally fine. I also had an e-mail from her 2 days ago (she'd just read the Cl. Heart book and it was about that), and she was fine also. I have a feeling the FB deactivation has nothing at all to do with us. Just wanted to let you know 🙂!
When I say concerns - I mean the ones recently expressed on the Fountain.
Update: you probably know that Lindy's acct. is now active again - I just had a comment on a post here. Maybe it was just a computer glitch?
Hi Nancy 🙂 Thanks for sharing your wise words and loving concern for Lindy's feelings. I'm so glad she is back with us again! It was as I had suspected. We had a little chat earlier today and she has re-opened her account and greatly reduced her "friends list" to a more manageable number. I pray she will be able to stay with us now that she has worked a few things out regarding FB privacy etc. Coming to the Fountain is the only reason she wants to be on FB....I can certainly relate to that! Hope you've had a beautiful Sunday...love and blessings to you! ❤
Hello dear Nancy..just popping in to say I hope all is well with you. You have been on my heart so much lately..are you okay? Love in Jesus...❤
Thanks so much, Trish! Thanks be to God, I'm fine. It has been a busy few days with and preparing for different "batches" of company and spending time with friends (with more to come). I've been able to check in several times here and even to forward a few Facebook things, but Fountain time has been limited (I guess non-existent) for me, as I haven't had time during which I could count on an uninterrupted CHUNK of time for prayer. Actually, you have been on my mind as well, and I've planned to e-mail you soon. So I'll just go ahead and tell you here. I would be interested in what living as a cloistered heart means to you personally (not necessarily even with cl heart "language," but as the monastic housewife you quite obviously are), and I've even wondered if you might be willing to share (either anonymously or by name) something along those lines that could be put on the CH blog. So there - now I've told you. Maybe that's why I'VE been on YOUR mind!!!
I'm so pleased to hear you are well, Nancy! Hope you have a really nice time with your guests over the coming days 🙂 ....And yes, I'm very happy to write something to you about what living as a CH means to me. Actually Nancy, I've been a bit confused on one point.... seeing as you took pains to remind me that my consecration in May was a 'private act of devotion' only..I thought that I was still just an 'inquirer'.. and not in a position to name myself publically as a CH yet. ..Is that right? ... ❤
Trish, yes, that is true in the sense of "organized community." I'm sorry to have confused you!!! Probably that's a result of our own "community" self-evaluations just now. I think we're kind of heading into new waters, and as always as we go along, we are not precisely sure of the path just ahead. 🙂 ! Again, so sorry for the unclarity. The thing is: with the birth of the CH blog 3 years ago, pretty much anyone can self identify as a cloistered heart in a general, overall sense. That possibility is left open to anyone who reads the blog. Others have identified themselves that way for centuries... St Jane de Chantal in the 1600s, Sister Briege McKenna in contemporary times, to name just 2. So it's certainly not a name we "own." But the main reason the blog started was because at least one little group as well as one individual (she had read the book) were identifying themselves online as cloistered hearts and the group was not in line with Church teaching (it was very new agey). So the time seemed right to put the truth of what we are out there.

I think a good approach would be, IF you feel led toward writing a few words about it, to just talk about being a heart monastic, and there can be a link to your own monastic housewife blog IF you want (it's so totally appropriate!). You can use cloistered heart language if you care to - or not. After all, you are a blog "reader" just as are the others who would be reading what you wrote! The cloistered heart idea, even with the analogies we use, is not "mine," nor is it a group's.. anymore than Therese's little way is only for Carmelites... (not that there is a comparison 😮 !). The concepts belong to us all. We are ALL called to live inside God's will and to see all things through it, no matter how we may personally envision that. People reading the blog don't generally realize there is a "group." I keep that low key on purpose, but now if there is any question as to whether or not we are part of any OTHER group with that name, the site is there to show that we adhere to the Church - at least we try with all our hearts!

The reason I thought of you is that you are solid, and obviously very monastic in the midst of your daily life! I've thought of asking a few other blog friends also. My friend "Rose" (who doesn't want to use her real name) has written things that I've used on the blog, with her permission, and one of those is our "most popular post." She is a part of the CH "community" (and lives in my area), but no one needs to be concerned with that.... its the living of it that counts. As I've often said - the cloistered heart is something you live, not something you join. Some of us just live it so "vocationally" that we have joined together to support one another

And this is intolerably long. And may not make a speck of sense! But I'll send.....
Thanks Nancy..that helps a lot! I have come across that other blog you mentioned and quickly saw that she was not connected to you and your CH apostolate. I actually saw an article about Mary Nowe in which she was described as a Cloistered Heart...and wondered...but now I know she really is! 🙂 Anyway...I shall take on board everything you've said and hope to have something for you very soon. Thanks again for taking the time to answer me...and for putting faith in me too...it means so very much! God bless you, my dear Sister! ❤
Hi again! Yes, Mary Nowe is a cloistered heart, and the only one I haven't actually met in person myself ... Lyn and two other ladies have been the main links with her, since I am not as "portable" as I once was 🙂. I am in touch with Mary, however (of course), and she's so very dear! She initially found us through some of our Visitation Sister friends.

The CH blog has several things that have been written or photographed (with me crediting them) by people who are not "community" cloistered hearts. Some I know in person, some not. C Wells has been contributing some wonderful photos taken in convents and monasteries, and I've been using a number of those in recent months. There is a woman named Anita, and someone who likes to be called "Joy" - those are people I have not met in person (I've met C Wells).

I will mention, as an aside, that while it is a "requirement" that every (community) Cloistered Heart live in the will of God as taught in Scripture and Church teaching (as outlined in the Official Catechism) (those are basic requirements for ALL Catholics!!!) ... we don't necessarily, as a group or as individuals, endorse every one of each others' businesses or interests. That's just a little "community disclaimer," for the record!

N again
Those photos have been wonderful too! ...Of course you can't endorse everything that other CHs do...that would be expecting way too much. It's interesting to see how diverse people's 'outside' interests can be even when they share such a strong internal life and calling! 🙂 xx
:D
Hi Nancy..sorry to be taking so long getting back to you..I'm hoping to have something to email to you today. First day I've had all to myself to be able to gather my thoughts together.. xx
Nancy, I just want to say thanks for your beautiful words about my broom post! I'm so so honoured that you wanted to share it! May Jesus be glorified by it and may He bless you beyond blessing for your gracious and kind heart! Love you.. ❤
Trish, I have been positively enthralled with your broom post! I hope you've been checking the comments, which are (of course) for you. And I had an e-mail from a reader who said the thought of the Trinity as her community is very meaningful to her just now.... her husband has had a recurrence of cancer and is going through some rough chemo and things look rather dire. Your post helped her very much. So thank you!!! I hope you will post it on Monastic Housewife sometime in the near future!! 🙂 ❤
Oh, praise Jesus! I am so very happy to know it helped someone! That was my prayer 🙂 I will go and check out the comments soon. btw.. I absolutely LOVE the pictures you chose - they're wonderful!! xox
Sending you my love and best wishes for a very happy and blessed Christmas, dear Nancy! ❤
Hello dear Nancy 🙂 ...just popping in to say I've missed you at the Fountain and hope all is well with you and the family. Also feel I need to explain why I have not yet sent you my CH questionnaire reply. I have a problem with my dear hubby's approval...he does not wish me to state all the past church associations and group involvements I've had or still have, He thinks it's too intrusive into my privacy. So...there is a stumbling block. But I am living by the maxim you yourself gave me....Cloistered Hearts is not something you join but something you live! I hope you don't think I've neglected that instruction. It lives within my heart and leads me through the day. ....Well, I guess you are starting to enjoy some Spring weather over there now. I'm glad you will finally be able to venture outdoors in the sunshine and flowers again 🙂 Keep well,my dear Sister..much love to you in our precious Lord Jesus.. you are in my thoughts and prayers always ! ❤
Hi, Trish! I'm so glad to hear from you about this, because as it happens, your husband is exactly right. That questionnaire was not a good one, and I apologize. We were trying to figure out a way to begin learning about people we would not be meeting in person (a new situation for us at the time). We had normally done that through ongoing conversations. The questionnaire was not inspired by God but by our trying to "fill in the blanks" - not to learn about YOU, but to have, as much as anything, in the wings for all future inquirers. We didn't realize this at the time! but God is merciful in showing us these things, isn't He?! Sooo - you can just ditch that - and I hope you will!

God uses our husbands in His plans!!!!!

We, as a "group," is/are changing anyway - which of course we've been doing since our beginnings in the early '90s. Anymore, the group that was really active is not as much so, while there is more happening online (on and through the blog). The "group that was" (and still is, although not as active) relied a lot on physical presence to one another - meetings, etc. Twenty years ago, that was a vibrant reality. I spent years traveling all over and meeting with nuns and doing all sorts of things (seems like another life now!). Now we're all geographically scattered, and many of us can't get around as we once did. Plus, a few have gone Home to their Eternal Reward. So our "face" is changing. May it do so to the glory of God!

Sorry to go on and on!!! I am thankful that you are part of the "new face," and I really do feel that you are. Your Monastic Housewife blog has tugged at my heart from the first moment I found it, not long after I began blogging. And the Fountain!!! That is so perfect, and I've hoped that we could all find one another more often there again now that Lent is past. I stayed on FB over Lent, but cut back a lot on checking in.

I've also been happy to hear of your vocational expression (Dominican, right? Please forgive me if I'm remembering that incorrectly!!)

Well, I should have done this in an e-mail, since it has become so long! But now it's here, so here I will let it stay. 🙂

Thank you, Trish, and thank God for cloistering both of our hearts!

nancy ❤
Hi Nancy! I seem to continuously miss the chance to chat with you in real time lately 😞 ...so I think I'll go ahead and leave you this note instead. I don't know if Marie Therese has managed to fill you in today about our recent private conversations or not..so I'll tell you what we're chatting about.. we want you to share your thoughts with us too! 🙂 We both feel the time has come to address the need for some more 'structure' in our little group ..nothing overly-demanding but something helpful to our daily connection and commitment to each other and our charism. Have you got any ideas on that which you want to chat about? Personally speaking, I would like to see all of us Fountain Sisters mark the Feast Day of the Sacred Heart by a group consecration complete with (at least) a chosen monastery 'sign'. We have also been discussing our desire to have some sort of community Rule to guide us as well. How do you feel about that, Nancy? We have not spoken of all this to the others yet...just in case it scares them off, lol! You will have some wise counsel for us.. we wouldn't want to do anything that would cause problems that perhaps we can't see but maybe you can! There are some exciting possibilities about where we might be able to head as a more formed community...what do you say? xox
Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you... I had the grands all day, in two separate batches, and it's now 11:12 pm and I have yet to have dinner 🙂.

This is all very intriguing, exciting, and inspiring, and I would love to chat about it when I have more "brain power" than I do at the end of such a long day. I'd personally love to have more opportunities for times of specific "meeting for prayer." A bit tough since we live in such vastly different time zones, but God has beautifully worked things out for us so far. Being able to pray together as we do, in real time, is a unique opportunity. I personally need prayer discipline, otherwise I can wind up being really sloppy about it. At the same time, we of course all have things come up in our families and lives and can't always get to a computer at a particular time (or phone... I don't have that kind of phone, so am dependent on the one computer on which I have Facebook). Still, I'd like to try. If anyone else feels this need, we could start with ONE thing that we could try to coordinate on a regular basis.... perhaps a rosary or chaplet together at a specific agreed on time. Maybe if even one or two people have the desire to make the commitment, that would be good. Of course there would be times when someone couldn't (I would not have been able to today).

Just a thought. Now to go think about finding something to eat!!!! 😉

THANK YOU for this. I'm in for talking more........
Thanks getting back to us Nancy 🙂 I agree with you about having a determined time for some communal prayer.. aside from our usual ways of meeting up here. I need the discipline too!! I hope you and Marie Therese can chat more about all this while I am away over the next few days. Have a family funeral to attend. Keeping Abby in prayer..and YOU..as always! Much love, dear Nancy.. ❤!
Nancy, I received your email today and have sent a reply. Praying for the Lord's leading and blessing in all we are currently discussing! xx
Hi Nancy 🙂 ...I'm just popping in to say you are very much on my mind and I hope you are okay. I am praying for your friends Gus and Theresa and for Abby and your newest little grandbaby on the way. We don't meet up as much as I would like at the Fountain these days, my dear sister..so I wanted to leave this note to let you to know that you are very much in my heart and prayers. ❤ ❤
Thank you, Trish! Gus's surgery is today. Their family is huge, so I don't expect to be in the loop of hearing updates right away. Abby, meanwhile, is quite overwhelmed with a just-started new school year of homeschooling the kids; especially 9 year old Natalia with an increasing work load.

I am spending LOTS of time blogging these days. More intensely than ever, as if that were possible 🙂 ! And, ironically, writing is coming less easily to me lately 😮 ! ! I spent the last few days working on a post (on St Augustine's "2 cities") that I thought would NEVER come together. Wasn't sure it did even when I hit publish, but I did so anyway because I knew I had to "move on."

I sometimes blog on the computer that does not have facebook. I also do most of my graphics/memes on the non-FB computer, just because there are more fonts on that one (then I have to transfer them from computer to computer if I put them on FB). And I am learning that if I go to FB to pray, I will..... oooops ... get sidetracked by a hundred "shiny" things on the way!

However, the Fountain is exactly WHY I keep Facebook. I seem to not be getting notifications of recent posts there lately - I wonder if that's because the Fountain "thinks" I've gone missing! 😮 ?

Maybe I'll go now and check on the Fountain.... but of course you are surely sleeping! Which I need to also do more of too.

THANK YOU for catching up! It means SO MUCH to me ❤
Trish: an update. Gus came out of surgery (which was cyberknife, so much better) very well. Next they will operate on his one remaining kidney on September 8. Thank you for prayer!
That's good news, Nancy! I am praying for a miracle. Please Jesus! Poor man. 😞 I've never heard of cyber-knife... xx
Nancy can you "see" Monica and I are praying a Rosary now? I'm wondering if you're missing notifications too....I know that if one does not regularly like or comment they stop getting them...hope that's not happening for you!! xx
Trish, I hope you're feeling much better!

I "nominated" you for a quote-sharing blog challenge I was tagged for, and I want you to know that it doesn't matter to me AT ALL whether or not you "accept." You know how these things go! I accepted just because I constantly do quotes anyway, so it wasn't much of a challenge to make it "official" 🙂 for a few days. It also gives me an opportunity to point out a few blogs I'd like to call attention to - including yours. Again: I'm fine if you ignore it altogether 🙂. I cited your blog at this link. http://www.thecloisteredheart.org/2015/09/be-in-heaven.html
Hi Nancy 🙂 ..I'm slowly improving, thanks very much for your prayers! I'm caught up trying to help my friend who's daughter is in hospital..will be with them both today. Keep praying please..my friend Janelle is strating to blame herself and look for signs that she may have passed some mental illness on to her daughter. This is a typical response...all of us do that when tragedy hits the family. Poor things..my heart hurts for them 😞 ....Well, the quote challenge sounds great and I will post in a few days after things settle down a bit more here. Thanks for thinking of me! 🙂 ..I hope you are doing well, dear Nancy..I loved the photos I saw of you and your lovely friend the other day! Have a blessed evening, my friend.. ❤ ❤
It would be wonderful if Benedict was to be called to attend the Synod! A bit late now though...more's the pity! 😞
Indeed. I know we're all praying.
Trish, I can't find your e-mail address and need to let you know that I clicked a link in your blogroll (on Monastic Housewife) and it brought up a DISGUSTING PORNO SITE!!! AAK! HORRIBLE! It was "Reflections on the Sacred." It had last been (allegedly) updated with something called "the waiting begins," and I couldn't remember what that blog was so I checked it out. Anyway, I wanted to let you know ASAP. May the Lord protect everyone.
oh dear Lord!!! Nancy I will get rid of it immediately! ?Gosh...I thought that was Karin's blog! I wonder if she knows what's going on?? THANK YOU for alerting me to it...I've had to do the same thing for others who had no idea that despicable creatures had taken over the site. I just left 2 groups on FB this past week for the same reasons..they had huge membership but did not pre- check postings that people wanted to put up. There's a lot of sicko's out there!!! okay I'm off to take care of that problem right now! xx
Done!! And it was Karin's blog... but when I searched for it through Google and used her name in the search..I was re-directed to a message telling me that the domain registration ran out on July 20th. So it's now in the hands of those creeps! 😞 The url still says reflections on the sacred but of course the blog title has changed. Poor Karin...she will have lost whatever was in her old postings. Thanks again for the 'heads up' Nancy...so sorry you had to be subjected to that filth!
I thought that was Karin's, Trish, but I was having trouble remembering.. which is why I clicked on it. I hope she saved her posts. It was shocking, to say the least!

Thursday, July 18, 2013 Back to Basics, Again I realized it last night.  I saw what had been happening, bit by bit, one distra...
