Tell Us About World Youth Day
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Monday, August 22, 2011
My facebook feed over the weekend has been filled with great moments:
The fervor and joy of more than a million young people gathered to stand for the Faith and with the Holy Father;
The sudden hush when the noisy crowds entered into silent adoration;
Moments of confrontation with angry protesters that became opportunities to exercise courage, patience, charity and faith;
The beautiful wisdom of the Pope’s various addresses.
Were you or your kids at World Youth Day in Madrid? Or maybe following proceedings on tv?
If so, I hope you’ll share your impressions while they’re still fresh.

Christ's Sacred Heart

It’s a solemnity today, so pray for priests and make your acts of loving reparation as the Church asks…
but then have a delicious Friday meat meal or do something fun, in celebration of being so loved!
“In the Heart of Jesus, the center of Christianity is set before us. It expresses everything, all that is genuinely new and revolutionary in the New Covenant. This Heart calls to our heart. It invites us to step forth out of the futile attempt of self-preservation and, by joining in the task of love, by handing ourselves over to him and with him, to discover the fullness of love which alone is eternity and which alone sustains the world.”
—Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, in “Behold the Pierced One.”
Fishy Fridays

Have you heard that the bishops of England & Wales have returned their dioceses to meatless Fridays?
The reason the bishops give for the move is the desire for common witness:
The Bishops wish to re-establish the practice of Friday penance in the lives of the faithful as a clear and distinctive mark of their own Catholic identity. They recognise that the best habits are those which are acquired as... READ MORE

Tell Us, Mary Magdalen

Spare two minutes for what I think is the most beautiful piece of music ever composed?
This is the Easter Sequence, a hymn almost 1000 years old!
May you praise the Paschal Victim,
immolated for Christians.
The Lamb redeemed the sheep:
Christ, the innocent one,
has reconciled sinners to the Father.
A wonderful duel to behold,
as death and life struggle:
The Prince of life dead,
now reigns alive.

Easter
George Herbert
Rise, heart, thy lord is risen. Sing his praise
Without delays,
Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise

With all thy art,
The cross taught all wood to resound his name
Who bore the same.
His stretchèd sinews taught... READ MORE
