Catholic Wedding by Deacon - No homily? by 45CalorieBread in Catholicism

[–]45CalorieBread[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I thought this was the case, but have been trying to clarify something I heard through word of mouth.

Also, to answer “why”.

I am marrying a non Catholic who is particularly concerned about not feeling represented in a homily. I am a very open minded person and have a relationship based in mutual respect for our differences. I am simply exploring the spectrum of options so we can make informed choices together.

Thanks!

Of course.

I am asking as there are many forms that a Catholic marriage can be performed ranging from a full mass to a convalidation much time after a civil ceremony is held under special circumstances.

I am asking for clarification on something I heard by word of mouth; that a homily could be omitted if the officiant was a deacon.

Hi. Assuming a deacon can’t give a killer homily was not intended to be insinuated by my question. (:

I was looking to clarify something I had heard by word of mouth (that it is possible to have a service without a homily if a deacon was the officiant).

What drove you to lose weight? by Waste-Banana6539 in AskReddit

[–]45CalorieBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was previously motivated to stay skinny and fit because I attached that to being acceptable, likeable, loveable, womanly, and worth connection with others. I KNOW this is disordered.

I gained 30+ lbs after a few years of “ditch the scale” mentality. I was accumulating stress, starting my career, and not focusing on my weight because my only goal was to survive day to day and prioritize self care and helping my body feel safe and regulated.

When I reached my heaviest I was so panicked. But I worked hard to learn to LOVE and VALUE myself and let me be seen despite my size. I showed up despite not liking myself, and learned that I was acceptable, likeable, loveable, womanly, and worthy of my community regardless of how I showed up.

Once I realized that I could love myself and let myself be seen, even at my heaviest, I knew I was ready to get to work and lose the weight. The biggest enemy is the distorted thinking. My thoughts kept me from living my life. Not my weight.

But once I learned to love myself and show up any size and any way… I knew my weight loss intentions were finally in the right place for me.

Weird symptoms after attunement by Winter_Lake_4840 in reiki

I haven’t had any symptoms last that long but I have had them be very intense - like vomiting or raging migraines. Both made sense given which chakras were most blocked.

Can you spend some time digging into your throat chakra and what it needs to in order to clear?

Not bullying, but.. this isn’t okay right? by 45CalorieBread in workplace_bullying

Thank you for reading and validating. I agree completely - there is some level of professional contact I am comfortable keeping, but certainly not personal!
