littleflower+JMJ Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 http://www.envoymagazine.com/topten/ 10. May I offer you a light for that votive candle? 9. Hi there. My buddy and I were wondering if you would settle a dispute we're having. Do you think the word should be pronounced HOMEschooling, or homeSCHOOLing? 8. Sorry, but I couldn't help but noticing how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper. 7. What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this? 6. You don't like the culture of death either? Wow! We have so much in common! 5. Let's get out of here. I know a much cozier little Catholic bookstore downtown. 4. I bet I can guess your confirmation name. 3. You've got stunning scapular-brown eyes. 2. Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time? 1. Confess here often? :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 [ I join the chorus: we don't want immoral pagans.....we want good Catholics...and if we have to be virgins on our wedding night, we want our spouses to be as well....is it too much to ask for a decent Catholic spouse???? (although some think it IS too much to ask) One of our youth group kids wasn't allowed to attend a chasity progam because his mom didn't want him to take it too seriously. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that should be the subject of another thread....why do parents send their kids to Catholic churches and schools and complain when the kids actually take what they learn to heart?? But I guess this isn't a purely recent problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddkapps Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I can see it now the Priest - "Behold the Lamb of God..", and here I am instead of concentrating on Jesus im looking over at this woman "Heeeyyy babah!!" *wink wink* LOLOL. I really hope you don't approach women like that IN or OUT of CHURCH. LOLOLOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP2Iloveyou Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Yeah, that should be the subject of another thread....why do parents send their kids to Catholic churches and schools and complain when the kids actually take what they learn to heart?? But I guess this isn't a purely recent problem. That is so true. I once heard a great homily on this, I'll try and sum it up for you. Imagine that you are Michael Jordan. You're the greatest basketball player that's ever walked. In your next game, all you do is stand on your end of the floor and dribble the ball. When the shotclock winds down, you chuck up a terrible shot. You don't try to steal the ball, you don't try to score, pass, rebound, or block a shot. After the game, the media all asks you what you were thinking. You say, "What's the problem? I played within the rules. I didn't travel, I didn't double dribble. I didn't commit any fouls. What more do you want of me?" Clearly, that would be absurd for MJ to say. He would be accepting mediocrity. Yet, how many parents accept that from their kids. They want them to be great athletes or students, but accept mediocrity in their faith and in their persons. Imagine a parent saying to a child, "Son, you don't need to study, you don't need to take notes in class, you don't need to do your homework. All you have to do is show up to class and I'll be happy." Such an assertion would be laughably absurd. But is that not what many people say about their children's faith? Just be mediocre. If you get to Mass on Sunday, I don't care what you do the rest of the week. If I get my kids to Mass, what more can I ask of them? One thing I've learned is that there is always a little more you can do. God is always calling you deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 PLEASE GO AND MEET YOUR HONEY IN CHURCH!!! This is a great idea, and no one should feel the least bit intimidated by it. Ok, so don't try to catch a pretty girls eye during the Consecration (*wink * C&F) but do try to meet them as they walk out of Church. Better yet!! Call the Parish Office of all the local Churches and have them announce that you want to start up a "Rosary for Young Adults" every week at the Church. Invite everyone from 20-35 to join you praying the Rosary and then have some "fun" activity you can do afterward. (I would suggest going down to the local bar and paying tribute to the Monks of Germany, but that's just me!) Or play a volleyball game or whateve!!! Believe me, there are plenty of girls who will show up just because they MIGHT meet a husband there. Not to mention the fact that you are getting girls who pray the Rosary (#1 requirement in my book, which quite frankly is empty since I want to be a priest lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the fact that you are getting girls who pray the Rosary (#1 requirement in my book, which quite frankly is empty since I want to be a priest lol) My parish is starting up a young adult/singles group. We're having a get-together after Mass in a few weeks and taking it from there. And once in our parish bible study, one of the older single women actually wanted to see a parish match-making service!! And I know of a parish that has a young adults rosary. And when they do have young adult meetings/speakers, we do go out to a local "establishment" (although I'd rather not drink alcohol, especially if I'm on the Kawasaki). Please enlighten us more on the "tribute to monks of Germany". Unfortunately, the only German monk I've heard being discussed recently is Luther due to the movie.

BLAZEr Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Please enlighten us more on the "tribute to monks of Germany". Unfortunately, the only German monk I've heard being discussed recently is Luther due to the movie. Oh man!! There is much much better "monky" business going on than that ole Poo-meister Luther. First of all Bavarian Monastery beers are the BEST! It's like a big steak in a glass that tastes like beer. ("mmmmm Beeeeeeeer" like Homer). Umm, here's a website to get you started. It's an american brewery that makes BELGIAN Lagher (so it's not German, sue me). www.ommegang.com (I especially like 3 Philosophers, since its one of the rare opportunities I have to be in the presence of ANY philosophers.) Also, for the German monastery beers: http://www.andechs.de/englisch/brauerei/fu...im_kloster.html That will get you started . . . I liked Andechs (but there are better) . . . *** A DISCLAIMER *** I do not encourage underage drinking or the gluttony of drunkeness. Beer is a special gift from God to man. It is so special that it must treated with due reverence. Therefore those who have not reached the age of Maturity for aloholic consumption and will more than likely merely "abuse" this gift are hereby encouraged to stop trying to grow up so fast and learn that waiting for a gift is sometimes a pleasure in itself. Also, in respect to those who would abuse beer through gluttony I can only say that proper consumption of a beer requires good company and hearty conversation. If you are drinking so much that you can't remember the conversation, then you have abandoned the "art" of drinking beer and have cheapened the beauty of the lagher itself. Some gifts from God are so special that we do not abuse them by having too much . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confess here often? :D :D :D :D thats amesome..I still like the joey from friends saying though. or that cheap line I saw on tv the other day "I lost my number, can I have yours?" ok, this use to be my favorite line..i never used it mind you, but I did see a funny sounding redneck use it in florida on spring break once and it worked. You would say: "Was your daddy a thief?" She would reply: "No why?" then youd say: "Because someone sure stole the stars in the sky and put them in your eyes" hey it works, i've seen it. thanks everyone for the help and opinions. Im sure with patience God will send me who He wants me to be with. What better place to find her than at Mass, or a Church function. I know what your all thinking..Its got to be a sin for me to be this cute and so alone.. ok joke..im outta heya God Bless, CatholicAndFanatical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
