It's amazing how a little rudeness and thoughtlessness can really take the shine off a nice experience like bringing up the gifts at Mass. Well, if you're ever in Ohio, feel free to swing by my parish. We're all pretty nice here :)Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-36281675260066966172018-08-30T12:06:34.117-04:002018-08-30T12:06:34.117-04:00Thanks, I'll have to check that out.Thanks, I'll have to check that out.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-75041741590365768702018-08-30T12:03:01.524-04:002018-08-30T12:03:01.524-04:00oh that's lovely, Melanie!

I know that Catholic Mom has a meatless Friday feature on their site to help with recipe ideas, too! http://catholicmom.com/category/meatless/Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-57008184631816235392018-08-30T11:31:22.212-04:002018-08-30T11:31:22.212-04:00I hadn't related Sunday's gospel to what i...I hadn't related Sunday's gospel to what is going on right now but I agree the Eucharist is why I'm Catholic. The crisis in the church is troubling and makes me sick. I go back and forth between wanting to know what is happening and wanting to bury my head in the sand. But the desire to pretend it isn't happening and let someone else deal with it, while human, is what got us into this mess, so I've been trying to think about what I can do. It is hard to know what I can do as a member of the laity. However, prayer and fasting are good responses to any crisis even though I sometimes feel as if it is not enough or that it is a knee jerk response. I was thinking about doing meatless Fridays, like in Lent, and I talked to my dad about it (we are the cooks in the family) and he is on board. It will take a little more planing on our part but I'm offering that up for the Church. If anyone has other suggestions on things we could do I'd like to hear them.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906826460232914998noreply@blogger.com
