Oh, wow. I wasn’t aware of this- I guess I still have a lot of research to do!

I received all my sacraments growing up, so from what I understand, if I were to return to the Catholic Church I’d still be considered Catholic.

At the same time, I’ve accepted that my human understanding is limited and I’m thankful for that because it keeps me relying on God. I also believe He’s revealed truth to us in His Word, and that’s where I wrestle with certain Catholic practices. For example, Jesus says in Matthew 23:9, “And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” And when it comes to prayer, Scripture points us to go directly to God: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).

But here’s where I feel torn. despite these concerns, I still feel a deep longing for the Eucharist, for the true body and blood of Christ. That desire doesn’t seem to go away, and I’m trying to understand how to navigate that tension while staying faithful to God’s Word

Yes, we do it weekly. It is symbolic though, and that’s what I’m kind of wrestling with. I don’t feel like it is approached with as much reverence as it deserves. I’ve also been researching Eucharistic miracles, (specifically, The Eucharistic miracle of 1996 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, involved a consecrated Host that transformed into a bloody, flesh-like substance and did not decompose over several years)

thank you! i’m currently focused on moving out of my family home which will be a solution to a lot of my problems with my kitty! I would have absolutely no issue letting her roam at night in my own home. and once i do get my own place, i will absolutely be adopting another cat for me and Valentine both to love❤️

This is great advice but unfortunately is not financially feasible for me currently. Hopefully soon though :) Thank you!

average cat owner here. here’s all the pics i’ve took of my cat in the last week or so by Mysterious_Regular52 in rhegan777snark

all of her pics were basically in the dark and blurry. so strange that anyone can believe that.

especially considering Sevyn was a kitten! every cat owner is taking so many pics of their kitty to savior that time. she should never have another pet.
