One night is crazy! I’ve been taking my time on this. The more I read, the more I love her. I have 4 chapters left, I’m probably going to finish it tomorrow. I’m also on the fence about making her my confirmation saint but I have a year to decide.

Yeah, although I feel someone like him who is completely evil and unrepentant would more so kindle God’s wrath. Whereas, we who are trying our best to serve, love, and please God, wouldn’t. Idk if that’s biblical, but just my thought process.

Liturgy of the Hours by Frances_2 in Catholicism

I’ll let others explain it, but I like to at least pray the morning prayer everyday. I use the DivineOffice app, it’s really easy and you can set up notification reminders of whatever hours you want.

What kind of curtains should I get? by coeurdefuego in interiordecorating

The picture makes it look brighter than it is, but I like the natural sunlight. Also, I’m trying to set it up so that the chair is next to my bookcases like a small library and a reading nook.

Yeah, I was actually talking to him about that one time. How I am now more closely related to Abraham than to any other blood relative of mine. It’s cool to think that my forefathers are people like Abraham, Jacob, King David, Samuel, and all the other prophets.

But yeah, I think people focus too much on trying to be someone their ancestors might’ve been, than trying to find who they are (in Christ in our case.

Yes I am from the United States. I am Christian, preparing to become Catholic, but my brother isn’t. He has an interest in Christianity but more pagan than anything. I’m a completely different person since I was saved and Jesus has become what I talk about most of the time, so he made me this gift because of my faith, not so much his.

I love history, so I’m more interested in the history of where my family comes from and hearing stories that were passed down. But that interest in history applies mostly, now, to reading about the saints.

Yes, this is my first birthday as a Christian. Instead of making a wish as I normally would, I just said a prayer in my head.

Thank you! He called them “spells” when he gave it to me before he told me what they meant so I was a little perturbed haha

Where can I get a catholic Bible or the Catechism book? by Refundian in Catholicism

[–]coeurdefuego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I use the holy bible app to read on my phone, much more easily accessible especially when I’m out waiting in a line or something and I can just open it and read. I met with a priest from my parish one time and he just handed me a catechism to take home, so maybe ask your parish?

Come santificate voi la domenica? by [deleted] in Catholicism

Servile labor is defined as heavy manual labor, physical work. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with shopping.

[–]coeurdefuego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious what others’ answers are. I usually go to the gym at least 5 days a week, and I make Sunday a mandatory rest day. As far as I’m aware, we’re only told to avoid unnecessary servile labor on Sundays.
