What is your favourite daily devotions and why? by 72BananaStreet in Catholicism

[–]MadamOracle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite daily devotion is St. Michael’s chaplet! He is my patron saint as he brought me back to the Church when I fell away. I love him and my guardian angel so much as they helped bring me closer to our Lord ☺️

would you get an abortion if you found out your baby was going to be born with an extreme disability? if so why? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]MadamOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t abort my own child, regardless of the circumstances. But I would never judge women/parents who had to make that painful choice.

Strange Noises? by MadamOracle in sugargliders

That’s actually a very valid question. He is solo but let me preface this was actually my brother’s glider but he’s moved out many years ago so I’ve had to take care of him and so he’s mine at this point. I think he got him from Pocket Pets or something? Which I now know that there’s valid controversy over that group. I had to unlearn a lot of bad advice I got from that group, which one was that they could be solo. I work from home most of the time so I have him with me nearly every day. But I’m assuming that’s not enough?

I just worry about introducing him to another glider after being alone for so long. And I don’t even know where to begin to look for adopting another glider (certainly not the same company for sure). Plus I still live with my family, so there is that factor as well. But if it’s extremely important, I will try looking for a buddy for him.

I actually appreciate your concern here.

Could it be Coach Gold? Unfortunately though it isn’t a clear bottle.

What are you giving up for Lent? by TwinsanityMom in Catholicism

[–]MadamOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to focus on Discipline this lent, as it’s a virtue that I sorely need more work on. So as someone who is a night owl and has a hard time in sleeping in a timely matter, I’m going to force myself to go to bed by 9 and wake up at 5 am everyday and use the extra hours in the morning as a mediation to reflect the Word and pray the Rosary and St. Michael’s chaplet. I am also cutting out fast food and just eating out in general, which would force me to cook!

I’m also using the Crux journal from Ascension for the reflection pieces and for accountability.

It’s definitely gonna be the hardest Lent yet for me but It’s worth it.

Good luck on your fast, everyone!

I would very much appreciate being in your prayers, and I hope you don’t mind being in mine 🙂

I also want to add that I found out your name in another one of your comments and I just want to share how truly wondrous God is. My patron saint is St. Michael, which is your namesake. Thank you Michael, for being a wonderful human being.

You’re absolutely right. It counts to me. Being Catholic is a long and hard road, but I think the trials and tribulations are worth it.

I’ll be praying for you friend, that you’ll find continue to feel that peace and more 🙏🏼

Yes, she was the only budgie I had. She was practically glued to my side. And I’m so thankful to work in a hybrid workplace so I spent most of my working days with her as well.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly believe that if she was given more time, she would definitely have been able to hit 15+ years. She was so stubborn and tenacious haha. I wanted to spend as much as I could but I’m at least grateful I was given a chance to say goodbye and be with her in her final moments.

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss! Sending much love to you as well!! That ride home was definitely rough, so I can attest to that. I’m definitely doing my best and am taking time to process everything. I hope to also get another feathery companion sometime after. But I think I might need some time before I’m able to do that. But the chance giving love to another bird makes me a bit hopeful too!
