My rosary bracelet from Fatima had a pendant of Our Lady on it but it fell off some point last year, wouldn't stay on and eventually got lost.

Today, it has mysteriously reappeared, after several months!

Just wanted to share with people who would appreciate how happy I am!

wow, hope you don't lose it again

That's cool! Mine went missing last year too, then the cross vanished. And now I'm not sure where the bracelet is at all...

We're off to Walsingham tomorrow

Thankyou, it didn't go well, I didn't do anything wrong but they rang my house and they don't want me back, I think God might be trying to tell me i have some other vocation.

Ohh thankyou

Is there a specific teaching in the catholic church about feeling lost and losing your path in life. At the moment, I really feel very lost and alone and unsure about the path I am taking. What does the bible say and are there any particular references (or advice) which you would suggest?

Hi everyone, been home a few days now, tiring but enjoyed every second as always.


Would appreciate a few prayers for my brother who's got an interview today and tomorrow.

I'm afraid I don't read my Bible enough to offer you advice regarding Scriptural passages that might help you When in doubt though, I always go by the WWJD method: "What would Jesus do?"

Perhaps if we know what exactly you're struggling with, we will be in more of a position to offer advice?

Not finished yet. Still here until the 19th!
And none really. Probably going to Wales with the family, but I think I need to have an awkward conversation with them first. Might try and get a job over the summer or something. Still thinking things through a bit atm.

(Original post by The_Lonely_Goatherd)
Ah OK! Well I hope you enjoy the last 10 days of what I'm sure has been a great year!

Is the awkward conversation related to the big thing we are meant to be praying about? I hate awkward conversations. Praying it goes well for you

hope it goes well!

(Original post by Klash)

i don't think there is a specific teaching maybe you'd like to read the prodigal son parable?

I didn't, actually! I had just resigned myself to the fact I would never see it again. So imagine my surprise when I found it!

Will of course pray for your cousin's friend

I'm not too sure what I think about it, tbh. Does the government consultation about gay marriage not cover Scotland too? In which case, I don't entirely see the need for a referendum?

it is very great to participate in and in everyday life im never in such events but im always on the look ot so that when i do attend it isnt such an alien situation, there is loads of modern worship on youtube and a gazzilion differnt links and i always love going through them for instance

http://youtu.be/cyheJ480LYA http://youtu.be/OqonVjXwkcQ http://youtu.be/-3L5SJyPpZk http://youtu.be/DXDGE_lRI0E

and on a different note catholic eucharistic flashmob: http://youtu.be/cZ5aYoSr3Hg

Bon courage! didn't you just graduate

I'm not too sure what I think about it, tbh. Does the government consultation about gay marriage not cover Scotland too? In which case, I don't entirely see the need for a referendum?

i suppose not that many people heard about the consultation, the referendum thing was on the news on radio 2 this morning and i don't think (but i have a bad memory) that the consultation got that much coverage.

I feel a bit about the £100,000 campaign though. people are saying how "awful is that think how many people that could feed", but you could say that about any non-vital to survival investment like the olympic opening ceremony, or whatever.

I was just reading this


http://www.conversiondiary.com/2012/...ay-friend.html


last night i had a rosary next to me while sleeping (don't know if that constitutes treating sacramentals respectfully) and i had often thought the plastic was a bit strange since i got it as a gift from the Parish after 1stHC (7 years ago!). i woke up and noticed it was glow in the dark!

On Sunday I told a few family (together) that if i didn't get a place at uni I'd like to do a gap year with CAFOD. My grandma said "but you've got more to offer than helping people"
What!

You're welcome

Bon courage! didn't you just graduate

I just graduated from my undergraduate institution. I'm now doing a postgrad course elsewhere, the dissertation for which is due on 30th August.

Tbh, I do see where those people are coming from when they say that. £100,000 is a sizeable amount of money. I don't think a campaign is particularly necessary either. All the information that would come from a campaign, could easily come from priests through their sermons

Have you read some of the comments on that blog entry? There are some strange people in the world

last night i had a rosary next to me while sleeping (don't know if that constitutes treating sacramentals respectfully) and i had often thought the plastic was a bit strange since i got it as a gift from the Parish after 1stHC (7 years ago!). i woke up and noticed it was glow in the dark!

You lucky thing! I want a glow-in-the-dark rosary but haven't managed to find one yet

My mum sleeps with a rosary under her pillow. When my mental health is playing up, she tucks me up in her bed and presses the rosary against my head

On Sunday I told a few family (together) that if i didn't get a place at uni I'd like to do a gap year with CAFOD. My grandma said "but you've got more to offer than helping people"
What!

Gap year with CAFOD would be amazing! There is no greater joy that in servitude, imho
