I have a small veil already made for Amelia, I simply need to get something to secure it to her head.<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301492273634984652.post-87160233957803262007-08-21T06:33:00.000-04:002007-08-21T06:33:00.000-04:00Oh wow.

I can only take it a page at a time and I havn't finished it.<BR/><BR/>I was introduced to the unbelievable poetry of St. John of the Cross very recently by John Michael Talbot - I bought one of his CDs, "The Lover and the Beloved." Every time I listen to that CD I immediately get glazed eyes and start praying and praising God. It's intense!!<BR/><BR/>My spirituality has always been very simple as I slogged through understanding the faith and the bible. But now I'm starting to be able to dig a bit deeper - and I like what I see! It's never ending. I can never grow "bored" with my faith. God is infinate and therefore I shall never reach the end of Him.

If the child wears a prayer kapp, tis easy to start them from infancy if so desired as a prayer kapp has strings.<BR/><BR/>For Dawn: Aye, we attend on Sundays, Holy Days, and on weekdays. We live quite far from the church so we attend only once or twice on a normal weekday. We always attend Sundays and Holy Days, barring accident or illness. I am the only Plain Catholic in the parish who dresses in cape and kapp yet I am accepted. As with anything, once people know you and understand that your first and foremost thought is that of kindness and love of God, they accept you regardless of outward appearances. They also learn quickly that any snide remark will backfire on them as others who know you will quickly stop any sarcasm.PlainCatholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795596623546394780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301492273634984652.post-38060582387833375142007-08-20T18:54:00.000-04:002007-08-20T18:54:00.000-04:00I'm sorry this doesn't have anything to do with th...I'm sorry this doesn't have anything to do with this post, but I have a question. At what age do girls start wearing a kapp? (Did I spell that right?)<BR/><BR/>I have a baby girl and want her to at least wear a headcovering to Mass, as I do, but I'm not sure at what age to start. I had thought about it being at first communion, but then someone recommended having her get used to it at a younger age.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for your time!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301492273634984652.post-76081633137822084232007-08-20T13:03:00.000-04:002007-08-20T13:03:00.000-04:00This is so absolutly true.

Silence is very difficult for me; I constantly have to have some noise, even simply white noise like a fan or the dryer. This is something I ought to work on as well.<BR/><BR/>Gee, there are so very many things I need to work on! If I try to think about it all, I get so overwhelmed! I simply have to remind myself that I am a work in progress and to keep aiming for the prize!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301492273634984652.post-90995511275625141212007-08-20T10:30:00.000-04:002007-08-20T10:30:00.000-04:00You have a blessed day too Sister!

I know most Catholic Churches offer Mass every day, and was wondering if you do. :)<BR/>Are there many plain Catholics in your parrish? If not, what do they think of you? Get any snide remarks?<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654860196914688135noreply@blogger.com
