Memento mori. Remember that you will die.

I was shocked to learn that one of our faithful daily Mass-goers suddenly died yesterday. He himself was at Mass yesterday, with his wife. Understandably, she wasn't there today. You just don't know the day or the hour. How humbling this is. Please pray for the repose of his sou…

I noticed only a few people bow during this part in the Creed

I’ve noticed lately at Mass that when we hit the line in the Nicene Creed, "and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man," a few people bow. By the way I'm not looking around, I just noticed it from the corner of my eye. According to the General Instru…

Giving up.

I think I am giving up on becoming catholic due to OCIA/RCIA scheduling conflicts. I am a young mom and my son is 18 months old. I work full time. I have called 7-8 parishes near me and they all have classes and required mass at times that do not work with my family's schedule.…

Catholicism is the best religion

I know this statement will stir up controversy. The problem is that Catholicism in the world isn't even truly known by many practicing Catholics because its true essence remains unknown to most. Catholicism is not just going to Mass, being kind to people, or following a certain…

Rosary before Mass

I arrived at Mass about 20 minutes early to find the laity praying the rosary out loud with one person starting the Hail Mary while the rest of the people finished it and they did this for the entirety of the time before the Priest walked out. Is this a normal practice?

I thought god didn’t exist, why did I randomly get the Holy Spirit?

Hello, I am an ex-Christian who was atheist/agnostic. But today, randomly, I felt a change of mindset and I felt a certain pressure in my chest. It was saying that god does exist, and I started to get my faith back and slowly coming towards Jesus again. Why would Jesus do this i…

I think it's incredibly sad, and telling, that in America, the non Christian politicians are often more Christ like in their policies and don't sell out to corporate and other interests as the ones that claim to be Christian.

Just reflecting on American Politics. And to add fuel to the fire, in the supposed Christian-dominated state of Texas, where they want to force the bible onto all kids and in their policies, the Republican so-called Christians are the biggest hypocrites, trying to negate our vot…

Is voting 3rd party a wasted vote?

I notice that as someone who votes 3rd party, a lot of people on the left will say, "Trump is a threat to democracy," or "you can't ignore his criminal conduct." And on the right it's "the left is destroying the country through its policies," or "Democrats are taking away freedo…

God touched my heart

I grew up in the LDS religion. It was my understanding that salvation was earned. If I did all I could, then God would accept me into the highest kingdom of heaven. It was all arbitrary rules (like not drinking coffee, not showing shoulders) so I went through the motions without…

Does Dobbs correlate with the Male Lonliness Epidemic?

I've been wondering about something, and I'm genuinely curious if there's research on it. There's been a lot of discussion about rising male loneliness, fewer young people dating, and declining relationship formation. But one factor I rarely see mentioned is the Dobbs decision.…

Serious Question

I 25F (non religious) have been seriously talking to a 24M white/Italian Roman Catholic man. When he told me his religion I was a little surprised. I don’t know too much about the religion as I’ve grown up around mainly black Christian’s. Please enlighten me
