?Fiscal Conservative? Jersey Joe Can?t Recall How Much Money He Lent His Ow
2008-04-17 00:54:00 I’m surprised that this didn’t get more coverage and questioning. US Senate candidate Joe Pennacchio’s campaign financial reports for this past quarter show that the candidate raised over $300,000. Pennacchio admitted to Matt Friedman of PolitickerNJ that he has put in some of his money, but doesn’t recall how much!!: At least some of that money was ...

I Was Thinking More Along the Lines of Chocolate or Something
2008-04-01 16:10:00 Why is it the weirdest conversations happen in the car? Probably because that's where I live 80% of my life, it's just my odds I suppose. Anyway, I was with the kids in the car when David asked:"Mom?""Huh?""What's Lent?""Oh that's a celebration--well it's not really a celebration I guess it's more of a plain old event or something--where people--mostly Catholics I guess--get ready for Easter by giving something up. Usually something they really like.""Why?""They give something up to show that they're sacrificing something for Jesus. Kind of a way to show their devotion."There was a pause as David contemplated this. Spencer was reading a book in the far back seat and said without looking up, "I know what I'd give up for Lent.""What would you give up?""David."Excuse me??"We're NOT giving up your brother for Lent.""Fine."Any case studies on giving up a sibling for Lent?

Easter, a new beginning

Without Easter Sunday, there really isn’t Christianity (just as there isn’t a Faith without Good Friday as well). Enjoy ...

Full Immersion - Lent as a refresher in Christian life
2008-03-11 10:35:00 Lent began as communal act of solidarity with those preparing to be initiated into the Christian life through baptism. During the period leading up to the eve of Pascha, converts were intensively instructed in the teachings and spirituality of the Christian assembly. When Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, in prayer, fasting, and eventually testing by the Adversary, he prepared for his ministry of teaching, and signs (Lk. . Likewise, the 40 year sojourn of Israel in the desert shaped, and prepared them for a life of fidelity and success. Paul, writing to the Corinthians, reminds us that in our spiritual life (read: in life generally) we ought to train to win, or risk the possibility of being disqualified (1Cor 9.24-7).Our Christian life is an active life. We do not merely assent to a set of ideas and doctrines. Instead we strive to live the teaching and example of Christ. One of the functions of our sacramental communities is to support and encourage one another in our training. Ind...

Lent
2008-03-06 12:55:00 I know that most of the regulars here follow the western liturgical cycle rather than the eastern. As you are coming to the end of Lent, and me and my community are getting ready to enter it, I'm curious - what has been your individual lenten discipline, and what did you gain from it, and the time of preparation for Pascha?Moreover, Im curious about what other OC/IC communities did together during Lent: did you support a charity, have study days, or maybe a concerted effort at outreach? If so how did this contribute to your sense of benefitting from Lent? Did you notice a change in your community because of this project?My little fellowhsip here in London has chosen to support the World Food Program during Lent. Recently there has been a great deal of reporting on how the rising affluence of some areas like China, in addition to the rising cost of fuel, and the push for turning food crops into fuel, combines to make aid projects more difficult. We're going to donate the money we w...

Lent and the Sunday "Loophole"
2008-02-11 20:11:00 I recently received the following question from "Little Sister" via email:I know that the 40 days of Lent do not numerically include Sundays, but don't we have to maintain our fast on Sundays anyway? I heard that we do have to maintain the fast from pre-Vatican II sisters, but the opposite from a friend. Who is correct?Well, neither of you are correct, but I think you are both on to something ;) Let me explain.First of all, recall that to "fast" is to, at the very least, have one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. This also includes no eating between meals. The only days that we are required to fast during Lent are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. So, you don't have to fast on Sundays.Now, what you may be thinking of instead is the self-imposed abstinence that many people perform during Lent. For the sake of the penitential character of these 40 days, they'll give up chocolate, or caffeine, or cursing. But, they'll...

And – when I say “the enemy” I am talking about the Democrats. It is Lent, a time for reflection, penance, forgiveness, and personal growth.

This said, I am terribly impressed with Hugh Hewitt and am sorry I ...
lent, round two
2008-02-06 23:32:00 I missed Ash Wednesday services yesterday, offered for the first time at my church this year. Or maybe they have been doing it all along, and I was too dopey to notice. I'm voting for all of the above.The school decided to give my kids back to me early, so I could suffer in style, and I said yes to many playdates. Which goes to show some of last year's Lenten season stayed with me and I'm a tad less hermit-y this year.Hooray for progress.With that in mind, here's what I came up with, for 2008 (drumroll optional): Less hollering at the kids and continuing to eat right and exercise. Which sounds like bad New Year's resolutions, but better late than never.So, what's up with the yelling? Well, I could come up with some fair excuses for my bad behavior and we could coddle my inner child for her undue sadness (read: absent hubby & soaring pain + developing smart mouths all around me) but really? In the end? I'm in charge of me and lately, I've been lax; my temper short. And th...

Lent: Ash Wednesday Prayer
2008-02-06 13:48:00 By William Loader, 15 February 1999(extinguish candles)The darkness asks us questions.You are out there and we do not see.You invite us into the night, the stillness, the loneliness, the desert place.We cannot see our shadow; the cold damp of unknowing rises up from beneath our feet.We tread cautiously, tentatively.We are afraid, afraid of ghosts haunting us with pectres of guilt and shame.We would like to run back, reach the river bank, swim the Jordan, sit in the sun by the sea, mending our nets.But you have brought us here- with no bread.When we look we can see only ourselves, our darkness.When we read, it is invisible words which cannot be grasped, thoughts we cannot clutch, hope we cannot capture.Yet the wild honey remains a taste in our mouth, a memory for a new day.Why have you brought us here?What miracle will you perform for us?The darkness sighs around us, dense with your unseen presence, close to our breathing, close to our breathing.O darkness, enlighten us, embrace us w...

If anyone has any questions, just let me know.Pax Christi,phatcatholic - - - - - - - - - -Question #1: What is Lent?Answer: From the Pocket Catholic Dictionary, we read: LENT. The season of prayer and penance before Easter. Its purpose is to better prepare the faithful for the feast of the Resurrection, and dispose them for a more fruitful reception of the graces that Christ merited by his passion and death.In the Latin Rite, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and continues for forty days, besides Sundays, until Easter Sunday. Ash Wednesday occurs on any day from February 4 to March 11, depending on the date of Easter.Originally the period of fasting in preparation for Easter did not, as a rule, exceed two or three days.
