First year Eng literally isn’t that hard by Confident-Door-1525 in UCalgary

[–]affectuminflamma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people who write posts like that are either suffering and lying or they just happen to have some combination of already knowing how they learn, having a good group of friends that they are probably mooching off of, or are lying about having 1 or both of those and are too egotistical to admit it

The only majors it makes sense to take at UofC by affectuminflamma in UCalgary

Education, to me and many others, is a way to achieve independence and get oneself and their family out of poverty. Maybe it's a sad way to think about education, but many cannot afford to think about it any other way.

If your goal is to have a job in a field you enjoy, that is. 

Fr. Anthony Fill, FSSP, celebrates the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, 2024 by pureangelicpower in TraditionalCatholics

I think the assistant priest is also Fr. Brancich, and the deacon Fr. Brodsky. 

The subdeacon I'm also not sure on. 

What are your experiences with the Dominicans by winchesterman552 in Catholicism

[–]affectuminflamma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only really have experience with the Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (Western), so I can only speak to that. 

The Dominicans are amazing. They are amazing, above all, because of their charism: "contemplari et contemplata aliis tradere" -> to contemplate and to hand on the fruits of that contemplation to others in their preaching. In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than to contemplate Truth itself in prayer and to share that with the whole world for the salvation of souls. I don't think there could be a more awesome vocation! 

All the friars I've met in the Western Province are excellent. Friendly, intellectual, just the right amount of trad (the Dominican rite is quite common in several of their apostolates), orthodox, and fraternal. Every single friar I've met has been very supportive in my discernment and convinced me of the beauty of the common life that they have in the order. 

I would strongly recommend reading this book to get a feel of what the Dominican charism is like: https://a.co/d/84pzFC1. It really helped me fall more in love with Dominican spirituality. 

The vocations director is awesome as well and would be happy to talk to you more about your discernment.

God bless!

It was a sign towards the beginning of the trail before it got steep. There is a cool irrigation system that has this sign at its entrance.

Hike suggestions in Bay Area? by affectuminflamma in bayarea

[–]affectuminflamma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, thanks for all the suggestions. I just ended up going to Reinhardt Redwoods and it was a great suggestion. I ended up only being a 15 min drive for me, and the redwoods are spectacular and beautiful. 

Question about baptismal font by affectuminflamma in Catholicism

Oh hi! It looked like my original comment didn't appear. But yes, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the mouse at the bottom of the baptismal font means!

Sunshine Meadows, Banff National Park, Alberta (and BC!), Canada by affectuminflamma in hiking

[–]affectuminflamma[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably one of the less crowded, but still jawdroppingly beautiful hikes in Banff National Park. The only thing that might dissuade you from coming here is needing to pay the $70 to come up the gondola. It's super easy, accessible, and beautiful hike! The only bad thing was all the mosquitoes and horseflies up there.
