LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Recently I started going to a Catholic Men’s group to enhance my spiritual life.

My wife this past Sunday made final promises as a secular Carmelite (OCDS).
She spends all day praying, doing house work while I’m at the nursing home doing whatever I need to do that day.
She doesn’t get involved in lame internet drama.
She doesn’t decide who is right with God and who isn’t.
She doesn’t bliber blab about how confusing and aweful the Pope is.
She simply tries to say her prayers and love her husband.
She takes her faith seriously and the Pope is not a scandal to her.
My father spent a good amount of time in prayer also.
Our Friend Jackson is thinking of joining a cloistered Benedictine monastery next year in Oklahoma.
I try to go to mass with my wife everyday and do the divine office, go to work and write this blog I get no commentary on.
I will keep writing regardless and try to find a way to pray more.

By the way…

Quote of the Day

**Unworthy Hand@kisstheblade_(**Oct 18, 2023) Yesterday I saw a rundown building – an older property that had been converted into a church – which had on its side, in big block red letters, “BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR”, and I’m not sure I could come up with a more sinister name for a church if I tried.

Kevin Mulligan@MrDalesDiary (Oct 18, 2023) I know a lot of people who say the daily rosary faithfully & who say many rosaries daily yet their hearts are very far from the Lord. Gossip, slander, detraction are all part of their daily diet. Any prayer is useless if it’s not effecting change especially within us personally.
