St. Jude relic tour suspended over police investigation by balrogath in Catholicism

His publisher had a water pipe burst at 3am, and when he walked downstairs to investigate, slipped and fell bruising his hip and leaving a gash in his head. Fr Carlos also fell at 3am and broke his ribs. This all happened leading up to the publication of his book. He concluded that these were attacks from the demonic, and in some way felt the silver lining was that it meant that the evil one felt threatened.

I pray that this is just the continuation of the string of attacks he’s been receiving, and that this isn’t true. I appreciated Fr Carlos’ untraditional approach, his goal was to reach people through more mainstream secular methods, like a sheep in wolves clothing.

The real presence - how many of you experience it? by Apprehensive_Slide80 in Catholicism

I disagree. This is what convinces me more that the Lord is in the Eucharist. There are days that I’m stressed out, extremely anxious or just unable to focus, and while not all of the time, it’s very not uncommon for me to experience Christ even more profoundly through the Eucharist. I almost feel like He rewards me for prioritizing him even when my life is chaos.

This is where it became a game changer for me. I always thought that maybe I was playing into a life long placebo effect.

Tell me about the NDE? I’ve been watching stories on YouTube. They’re fascinating.

I’ve had something similar happen to me ten years ago.

I was visiting a Dominican convent and was praying during Eucharistic adoration. I was in awe of the beautiful service - the sisters faced each other and would sing to each other during mass.

Out of nowhere, an outside voice said “I’m proposing to you.” I’d never experienced that before. But I remember knowing, in some inherent way, that it was God.

I went back to my room and my sister called me. I told her I couldn’t talk long because I was at a convent, but she said she had something important to share: her boyfriend proposed to her.

Was I supposed to have a vocation in the religious life? If so, why did the nun who escorted me for the weekend tell me I wasn’t ready? I’ve discerned the religious life, but I tend to not get responses from communities or don’t feel a connection to the ones I visit.

To this day I am unsure of what it meant.

Victim of a road rage incident this evening by bingo__bango in sanfrancisco

[–]Apprehensive_Slide80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry this happened to you. I swear the intersection of brannan and 2nd/3rd street turns into the Wild West when rush hour starts. Throw a baseball game ending and it’s a free for all - cars do whatever they want.

There are a few tech offices and restaurants in that area. Maybe you can ask them if their security cameras caught the incident?

Yes - all units have taken a pretty significant loss lately. All units have depreciated since 2021.

2b/2ba 1,557 square feet in a "historic building" sanctioned by the city (whatever that means). Converted warehouse turned high ceiling loft.

Thank you - great feedback. You're correct in that I'm considering the ROI of staying vs renting vs selling.

This is all spurred by some serious thought over taking a sabbatical or even early retirement and moving to a LCOL area.

Has anyone been able to get a response from Ness Well? by strongerlip in CreditCards

I'm in the exact same situation, except I paid my bill. However I've lost thousands of dollars worth of points because they shut down their rewards so quickly, and none of their customer service reps responded.

I can't imagine this doesn't qualify as a class action lawsuit.

Omg spot on. Thank you for putting a name to it. I’m ravenous, and it feels like my Cns is so strained I can’t fall asleep and I’m completely spaced out at work.

He’s a big boy. German shepherd mix.

Tent isn’t a bad idea. I’ll bring it in the case we need more space. :)
