Why have people stopped dressing appropriately for major events?
Two funerals this week & nary a modest &black/dark outfit to be seen outside of myself, my children & maybe 5 other people.
Folks in jeans, bright colored clothes, casual clothes too... not even business casual.
Please do not drive drunk.
My cousin's 26yo daughter drove drunk last night. She went the wrong way on the freeway and hit a semi head on and died. My cousin also drove home drunk last night on his own. He woke today to his daughter pronounced dead.
Lord have mercy.
Husbands....pray over your families and homes please. Your wives will feel safer. Your children will behave better. Your prayers will sanctify yourself and your family.
The number of people becoming Catholic lately seems incredible.
There is something happening.
The Holy Spirit is moving in big ways.
Keep praying. Lots of people are waking to Truth.
The Angels and Saints rejoice with each conversion.
Recently, I made the decision to go home. There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future.
But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth.

&I'm asking for your prayers.
Our littlest, Samuel, swallowed either a coin or a watch battery tonight before bed &we brought him to the ER not knowing if he swallowed anything at all. He's headed to OR for removal in case it's a battery.
Henri received Our Lord today with 5 other children! Deo gratias!
We also learned that Archbishop Hebda has designated St. Augustine Canonically as an Oratory. Father said this is an excellent show of support for the Latin Mass goers in our area.
Interesting responses folks. Thanks.
I'm turning off notifications though.
I believe in proper ways of doing things like weddings and funerals and the standard decorum around them. You don't. Great.
The reverence for life in our culture is in a sad state.
Oh! And please keep my 9yo Gabriel in prayer. He is serving tonight at Ascention High Mass for the first time and he's very nervous. He's also my son who wants to be a priest.
This is very exciting.
Please pray. My lifelong best friend just texted me to tell me he has three lesions on his brain being removed tomorrow at the UofM. They do not yet know if it's cancer.
We were born minutes apart at the same hospital and have been friends entirely.
One of my dear friends is a former prostitute. She was rescued from the sex trade only a couple years ago.
This year, this former atheist turned her life over to God and is just two weeks from becoming Catholic.
God transforms anyone &everyone who let's Him in &seeks His will.
Tell me you have no idea how the entirety of humanity has slept forever, w/o telling me.
This "rugged individualism" of North America is harmful to children. Nowhere else in the world do we advocate this.
And sex lives def don't suffer.
This is a mindset that ignores biology.
Had an EKG, Chest Xray, blood work, and an ultrasound of my leg.
Pulmonary embolism is suspected.
Please pray.
Waiting now to hear from the doctor about what's next.
Family meeting was had and comfort measures are now being made and later today support will be withdrawn as his system continues to fail.
Lord have mercy.
Forced sex is the *ONLY* way you can claim "forced pregnancy" and "forced birth".
Forced sex is rape. Rape accounts for less than 1% of abortions AND 85% of women who become pregnant from rape choose life.

Mary-Clare is three weeks today!
(Sweater vest is alpaca and made for her biggest brother Degory, 14.5y ago. He never wore it bc he was too huge for it at birth.)
Hey
#CatholicTwitter
... you might remember our old friend Annie Blanchard, aka Marian Morticia... she has allowed me to ask you all for your prayers as she battles a rare form of leukemia. She does not yet have a prognosis, that comes next week.
Hi all...
This past Wednesday just before 10pm my baby brother Mathias was struck & killed on a rural highway in Illinois on a cross country bike tour. He was a nomadic artist w/no means to pay for his funeral. If you'd consider prayers &a donation.
Please pray hard for the Grant family. As a mother, I can only imagine what she's going through. It's a scenario I've played in my head in anxiety too many times. As a spouse, I can't begin to imagine what Ryan is going through.
Hold your babies tight &kiss your spouse goodnight.
Unfortunately, the CAT scan revealed that the cancer is too aggressive, to the point where she has more cancer cells than healthy cells in her gut. We are in the last weeks. Still hopeful for a miracle, and we are asking everyone to pray for a full remission of all cancer.
If you're Catholic &feel the need to take your tree down& put away Christmas decor before even the 12 days pass... it's OK.
You don't have to leave it up. Sometimes the bandwidth just isn't there& it's OK. Decor isnt required. Don't feed the pressures of social media.
Well fun morning here...
Our 4yo Cecilia ate a single bite of a cashew Lara Bar and her whole body started itching and swelling. Worst reaction she's ever had to a food ever. Three benadryl doses for her weight later and she's coming out of it.
Keep her in prayer please.
In your charity, pls send prayers for our healing. Travis &I have been pretty sick since Wed. We refuse to contribute to narratives by getting tested so we are treating as though it's some form of C. I think we are on the upswing though bc of careful use of supplements &rest.
Please keep Ryan and his children in prayer and pray for the repose of Sarah's soul.
They've endured with grace and dignity what the Lord gave them and we pray she's met her victory.
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
At 1:15 pm today, my wife, Sarah Grant, went to her eternal reward. After receiving Extreme Unction and the Apostolic Pardon from Fr. Terra, FSSP, we prayed a divine mercy chaplet. When it ended, she breathed her last. Please keep my family in your prayers.
Let me help you out Ketanji... a woman is an adult human female. She has two X chromosomes. Disorders of sexual development are rare but are yet based on being female (XX) or male (XY) or they wouldn't be a disorder of sexual development.
Women are capable of conception, 1/
I'm all in on biblical submission.
I am pro patriarchy.
I am pro motherhood...the stay at home kind.
I am pro building the domestic church.
I'm not pro fundamentalist protestant ideas regarding marriage infiltrating the Church &being taught by lay(m)men as authoritative. Yuck.
@ohmydepravity
So I broke out with rosacea after Mary-Clare was born in February. My usual skincare routine wasn't helping so I started using tallow balm and it's nearly healed.
This is present moment, no makeup except eyebrow gel.
Lol NOPE.
If my.husband won't eat the dinner I make, he can find food himself. And he can keep doing that until he figures out I'm not his mother.
Luckily I married a man, not a toddler like this sad woman did.
Father Altier's homily was easily 30 minutes today. He apologized ahead of time. It was excellent. He spoke with regard to St. Joseph the Worker and how society is soft and unwilling to do the harder things. He laid a challenge to parents to make their children do harder things.
@FuerzaERM
I can understand that but that's why adults are around to tell kids what to do, even in grief moments.
The general decorum at weddings and funerals alike are just like it's a casual affair. I really don't get it.
I'm trying to revive little practices that we Catholics have that keep our faith in the Holy Eucharist strong. We should not receive Holy Eucharist if we are aware of serious sin that we have committed without having confession.
@thegnewsroom
A midwife who is pro abort is not trustworthy, &has no business in women's health.
An herbalist who tells you how to kill your baby is not trustworthy &has no business in herbalism.
A friend who will bring you to kill your baby is not trustworthy &is not your friend.
Please pray. My lifelong best friend just texted me to tell me he has three lesions on his brain being removed tomorrow at the UofM. They do not yet know if it's cancer.
We were born minutes apart at the same hospital and have been friends entirely.
Prayers for my 6yo Henri. He has a last repair visit to the dentist today. In September he had two breakthrough seizures that resulted in cracked teeth, which after not being able to schedule the dentist bc of restrictions, grew cavities. He has fillings to get today.
Henri just had another massive seizure. I knew it was coming too. He told me this morning that he felt a flash in his head and then got a shiver. So I was watching him all day.
And if your "marriage bed" suffers... I assure you it's bc you think your bed is the only place for marital relations. And that's a sad and boring life you have with your husband or wife. Start there, not with ignoring biological needs of children &normal human sleep.
HEY! I know everyone is broken up about the new Calvin Klein ad... but let's be real. Calvin Klein ads have always been scandalous. Every last one. Stop pretending anorexic scantily clad women is virtue over scantily clad pregnant women pretending they're men.
Pray if you will, I have a really terrible headache that would have me in bed if not for children needing care while Travis works. I took an aleve but it's not touching it.
She's literally living her wholesome life &some broads gotta be "why's she look like this is a fetish? Why isn't she 'stylish? This is giving pick me."
Just bc *YOUR* every thought surrounds sex doesn't mean hers does.
Dressing like a hobbit is completely perfect. Many do it.
Today is day 15,800 (I did the math twice including leap years) of being a girl who became a woman in the course of that time. I've birthed 9 children, been pregnant 13 times, have a cumulative nursing life of 19.5 years &counting. I've had ppd &anxiety &dealt w/mastitis many a
Today, I celebrate 19,081 days of being a woman. I’ve given birth to 2 beautiful girls, raised them both by myself. I had a hysterectomy at a young age due to endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterus twice the normal size and fibroids. So painful! This caused early menopause.

Muting everyone spewing "we don't actually KNOW if he repented for [insert personal grievance against PBXVI]"
SHAME ON YOU.
It's between him and God and your duty as his brother or sister is to pray for his soul.
Say is that I didn't deserve to live bc that's what I was born into. You think a life worth living is one without hurt or strife, and you're wrong.
Stop telling people their circumstances make them worthless.
Do you even hear yourselves?

@photina13
I don't understand this. Yes celebrate their life, but pray for their souls. The party can happen later. I hope my children throw a death party after funeral stuffs are over.
So... lay person claims to be a demonologist. Lay person has a whole exorcism kit they claim to use to cast out demons. You tell them they are out of bounds of their authority. They persist. What do you do?
Bc this seems like a desire to get oneself some demonic attachments.
