My man’s man papa had 4 girls. My mom the third. She was his hunting partner et al. I was his first granddaughter… I know I was his favorite. He made it clear. Some guys are excellent fathers of daughter and God knows it.

athlete and team captain, I went to PP - no help (too bad abortion day is x). I went to a crisis pregnancy center and they gave me ALL the resources to keep my baby, and finish school.
With Roe gone, it’s more important than ever to crack down on so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care. My bill with
@SenatorMenendez
would stop these harmful practices.
We really shouldn’t tolerate the hate Butker is getting. It’s not about him. It’s about the attempt to cancel traditional Catholic teachings being spoken of at a traditional Catholic College.
Are we not safe in our own spaces anymore?
They are trying to cancel all of us. That
Catholic twitter I need prayers. My 8 year old fell hands first into a fire pit this morning-we r camping. He was born on 8/10. Please ask for St Lawrence to intercede for him.
I was 16 when my mom took me for my first OBGYN appt. The dr asked to speak to me alone and my said, no way. The dr said the appt would be over then. So my said “fine, but don’t bill my insurance and I’m not paying you.” And she and I went straight to the front desk. 1/
Parents who are scheduling back-to-school physicals for your kids…
Don’t leave your kids alone with the doctor. If they shame you, find a different practice.
I was 16. My parents were right outside the door. I was confused and embarrassed and never told.
5 pious Catholic families of eastern missouri, south western Illinois will are grieving tonight. There was a tragic accident and 3 of the six passengers passed, one is in serious condition. All young adults who were very active Catholics. Prayers for all impacted. 🙏
I know we have aspiring authors here.
Remember: Suzanne Collins, a professed Catholic, wrote Hunger Games because she felt there was a need for wholesome YA fiction that showed what a world without God looks like.
Keep going.
I keep watching and rewatching this.
Growing up in Indiana, (southwest of Indy) I was told weekly that I was going to Hell for being Catholic. Kids said they couldn’t play with me because I was Catholic. My own uncle wouldn’t enter our home because we were Catholic, (he was a
The largest Christian march in recent U.S. history: thousands of Catholics attended the Eucharistic procession at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indiana

A 12 yo girl I know is having brain surgery to remove a benign, but growing tumor. She is so scared. She is a very quiet girl who hates attention, but will come back to school with no hair after Christmas.
Can some of us pray for her, and for charity for the other students.
This is my Rebellion. This is my counter revolution; homemaking, being a SAHM, home schooling, TLM, obedience to church and husband, loving Jesus with every fiber of my being, every action of my body.
Please pray for my dad. He was in a very bad car accident and might be paralyzed. He caused the accident, by driving very aggressively. Luckily no one else was hurt.
Pray for him to heal, and for his conversion.
I have 14 cousins and 2 siblings that grew up Catholic in the 1980’s - 1990s. We went to Mass and CCD every Sunday. 3 of us are still Catholic. That is 3 out of 17. 2 of those go to TLM, one to AD ORIENTEM. What you’ve been doing doesn’t work. More of the same won’t work.
@USCCB
The priests are using incense at every Sunday mass, and have been for about a month now. The wife of one of the retirees put a mask on today exclusively during the incensing. She may have lung issues, but it seemed to be for dramatic effect.
And honestly the people complaining
Last night I had a dream. St Anthony came up to me and was basically like “you silly girl” and pointed to the big front pocket of my purse that I have checked countless times. And I saw the keys in it.
This morning when I looked there they were front and center. I felt like a
It happened. He was forcibly vaccinated. I want to puke.
He has had a dive related Pulmonary Embolism and they STILL did it. Please pray for my husband’s health.
I have no family to tell, please rejoice with me - please. My eldest son has a research article being published! He’s only a freshman.
It’s on “annealing temperature in polymerase chain reaction...” a bunch more words I don’t understand.
Y’all! YALL!!! My cousin converted! She is A CATHOLIC NOW. It’s a big deal! My dad’s side. My uncle is a Baptist Minister who wouldn’t even set foot in my parents house because of the crucifixes... and his grand daughter is a Catholic now!
I love that I’m 46, haven’t had a baby in 21 years and if I’m 1 day late my husband asks with hope in his voice, “think your pregnant? I mean, you could be pregnant.”
So, dear husband had a routine EKG this morning and my worst fears about the 1/2 dose Vax he was forced to take have come true. Myocardial infarction (blockage).
Prayers appreciated. He will likely be medically discharged because of this. Prayers that he can be healed.
The ad orientem photo has the spirit of Vatican 2 boomers in an uproar because they felt, all this time, like they were part of something REALLY IMPORTANT when they destroyed churches and brought in guitars and folk music, and now their facing the truth that - no they weren’t 1/
I had my oldest on the first day of classes my senior year
Of college and I was enrolled, and on a D1 scholarship. There was (and is no) maternity leave for college students. I had to stay enrolled to keep my scholarship. Needed scholarship to finish: because poor. My advisor
You should’ve seen it. Two dads (a gunnery Sgt, and a Major) pulled road guard while the moms and I got the kids (ab 20 including siblings) across the street to the chapel. For adoration.
Kids voluntarily praying the rosary in adoration.
Crazy Catholics.
I finished my degree, qualified for NCAA finals, and that child is now 21 himself and in college, but yeah, crisis pregnancy centers hate women and babies.
Can I get some serious prayers for a family back home? 2 yo twins fell into an indoor pool and drowned. The daughter has made a full recovery, but Levi - well, outside of breathing on his own, has no signs of brain activity. Their mom wants prayers. Please, Jesus, heal Levi!
Just got a call. IRGENT PRAYER REQUEST. Our neighbor at the farm is suicidal and has a loaded gun. We were headed back to house in town. DH has turned around to go back. He is trained in handling such issues. PLEASE STORM HEAVEN WITH PRAYERS FOR DOUG, a lapsed Catholic.
I have refrained from putting this on Twitter, but a priest friend of ours has been in the hospital with covid for over a week. He is a very holy priest. Please pray for him. We miss him very much, and want him to get better.
On the phone with former foster daughter, autumn. She is suicidal, afraid of herself and waiting on a ride to the hospital. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER! She has two children.
Went to daily mass with the nuns. Dear friends of ours were there.
“I heard you all are going to the NO now.”
“Well, only on Sunday. We are teaching RCIA.”
“Well you don’t have to go to the mass there to do that.”
“No but the candidates we are sponsoring and teaching do. What
My mom reverted 2 years before she died.
The last visit I had with her she said, “please pray for your Dad and Brother after I die. I don’t want them to go to Hell, they will without a miracle, and it’s my fault.”
She died 6 days later.

Today, I found out my little nephew (B) fell 7 feet off of a playground platform (he was being a daredevil - he comes by it honestly), and badly broke his arm and had to be rushed to Boston children’s by ambulance. They took good care of him, but can you please pray for him and

. This was just normal for us. Anyone else?
1.) everyone knew who the Catholics were, there weren’t many of us.
Maximillian Kolbe was a missionary in Nagasaki (before the bomb) helping to grow it into japans most catholic city, and died in a nazi concentration camp.
I was intensely bullied for the 12 years I was in public school. If I sat at a lunch table everyone would get up and move. The boys would bark at me as I walked to class. Kids made it a game to throw coins at me at lunch. This was every.single. Day. I was also physically
Informed yesterday: active duty Catholics who refuse vaccination on religious grounds will not only be forcibly vaccinated, but also officially labeled as religious extremists.
We suspected this was coming, but hoped we were alarmist. It is here.
Got an unfortunate call. One I predicted years ago. One I tried to head off by calling CPS over and over. I got the call asking if we’d take my nieces. Luckily not from the state, but also we won’t take them without the state or some other third party intervening. This is a new,
@CatieOsaurus
If it’s someone I know I’m fine. If it’s someone I just met, it annoys me. “Get my name out of your mouth. You don’t know me” is how it makes me feel.
I’m going to pray the seven sorrows rosary as a litany starting tomorrow and ending on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Please join me. There is an app. You don’t need a special chaplet.
So many things in the world need prayers of reparation. Consider a fast as well.
@deaflibertarian
I am so sorry this happened to you, and I am glad you have moved on are living your best life! My dad did this to my mom in 2018. My mom figured it out a week before she died (of cancer). She handled it with so much grace. I bet your example has been a good teacher to those
Neighbor boy came over to watch the Mario movie with 10. And said, “is that Jesus and his mom?” DH “yes” “so you are Christian?” DH “yes, we are very Christian. We are Catholic.”
A big lesson I learned in 2021. I don’t DESERVE anything, but Hell.
Self care is a lie that keeps folks from offering up mortifications they likely need in order to be sanctified.
We are all addicted to comfort.
And when they die, all their changes die with them. The old ways are becoming the norm. Today they faced the truth that the younger generation reject them wholesale and they can’t do anything about it.
We should pray for them. The damage the unwittingly caused was vast. /end
URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! my neighbor's 10 yo son flipped his quad and is seriously injured. His father was paralyzed from the waist down in combat. PLEASE PRAY, This is the only child in this family due to the father's injury. (they have a good healthy marriage).
Oh! It’s my 24th wedding anniversary.
I shall hurt your eyes with our engagement photo. We have the same haircut. 😂🤣
(I didn’t want to take this and put it in the paper. My MIL made us. The look on my 20 yo face is due to that fact.)
We went to the novus ordo in Ava today and at the end they asked if anyone could teach RCIC because a whole family was wanting to enter the church and they don’t have any catechists. They introduced the family to the parish, that’s when I realized We saw them at the monastery
St. Elizabeth of Hungary's altar was built by a priest and once used by a cardinal who's on the path to canonization. It's now dismantled and damaged, after the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest came to the Cleveland parish.
For the next couple of days, Imma pretend I’m a medieval peasant who doesn’t even know what’s happening in the Vatican, and imma keep praying and fasting and going to mass.
One of my husband’s close friends, a fellow soldier and father of 3 under 9 years old, died today in an ATV accident. Please pray for him and his wife and kids. This is devastating.
@frobrien
And this is exactly why my teens asked to not return to a Steubenville retreat. Both said it was a bunch of emotional manipulation, and lacked reverence for Our Eucharistic Lord.
Very worried for my husband. He is so ill. I’d feel much better if I were there with eyes on him. I took him to the ER last time (where I was locked in a room for 4 hours), and they refused to treat him. Please keep praying.
Literally one of the last things my mom said to me was, “promise me you’ll pray for dad and your brother. I don’t want them to go to Hell. Promise me.” I have kept my promise. I want my family to go to Heaven.

My heart hurts this morning. 💔
I desperately want to know how my dad is doing, but I will not contact my abusers to find out.
I have to remind myself that as much as I love him, he isn’t capable of actually loving others.
Please pray for my dad with me.
I am 43. I am watching my parents generation become what I have always thought of as elderly. They are all dating and such. I don’t get it.
I so respected, and was inspired by, my grandmother and ggmothers’s widowhood - and they aged with such humility. I want to do that to.
