Catholic C replied to MR's discussion 'Good Catholic bible study?'

Although it might not be considered a traditional form of bible study, you might want to consider trying Magnificat Magazine as something different. It is an easy-to-read pocket-sized daily Mass companion for use in church or at home. Each day…

MR replied to Lynn Altomari's discussion 'Catholic Bible'

I really like the New American version of the Catholic Study Bible (published by Oxford). It's got great supplementary material about Biblical history and context.

MR left a comment for Sandra Vega

Sandra, I am very sorry for your loss. I lost a baby, Joseph Augustine, at 11 weeks in September, and it was an awful time for me and for my husband. Most people's encouraging words failed to help me, but the comments and prayers from the women…

I'm enjoying a brief moment of quiet.

MR replied to MR's discussion 'Prayers after a miscarriage'

Thank you all, ladies, for your prayers. After having bled some since Tuesday night, I finally lost the baby today, although I knew as of yesterday that I was miscarrying. I was 11 weeks pregnant. These last few days have been very difficult. My…

Ann Mo Cal replied to MR's discussion 'Prayers after a miscarriage'

MR, I am so sorry for your loss. Do you have a "Mother's Manual"? My Mom gave me a copy, it was a pamflet for Mom's given to her at a Catholic Hospital. It has a lot of beautiful prayers. Following is a prayer "At the death…

Prayers after a miscarriage

My husband and I just learned that I had a miscarriage. This is my third baby, but first miscarriage. We are so sad right now, and I ask for your prayers for our family. My husband and I have found great comfort by praying for the baby over the last few days since my bleeding started. Does anyone know of a prayer or set of prayers designed particularly for this situation?

MR replied to Loretta Shekleton's discussion 'Moms Ministries'

What about starting a playgroup? Talk with your pastor and see if it's ok to put a notice in the bulletin and maybe meet somewhere on the church grounds (like the nursery, if your church has one). We have a storytime Mommy and Me and an…

MR replied to Leticia Velasquez's discussion 'Great summer read: "Death of a Pope"' in the group "Catholic Book Club"

I just wrote a lengthy post that I accidentally deleted. Ugh. I'll try to summarize what I wrote before. Overall, I liked the book. It has a subtlety that is often lacking in contemporary "Catholic" fiction. Rather than beating the…

MR replied to Leticia Velasquez's discussion 'Great summer read: "Death of a Pope"' in the group "Catholic Book Club"

I just requested it from my library a couple of weeks ago. All of the copies are already checked out (which is a good thing, I think), but I'll post again after I've read it.

MR replied to Heidi Hess Saxton's discussion 'Picnic Tricks and Treats ... Today at "Readin' and Ramblin' Moms'

We almost always have bottled water, dried fruit, goldfish crackers, and powerbars in the car. Also, we recently bought a sippy cup spout that attached to bottled water. (it sort of makes bottled water into a sports water bottle) It's great for…

MR replied to MR's discussion 'Ron Hansen's Exiles' in the group Reading and Ramblin' Moms

I haven't read Mariette or Jesse James, but I read Isn't it Romantic? and really liked that--very light (in a good way). I ended up really liking Exiles once I finished it. The final scenes of the nuns and of Hopkins were very well done…

Rebecca Ryskind Teti replied to MR's discussion 'Ron Hansen's Exiles' in the group Reading and Ramblin' Moms

I loved it, MR, and am now a Hansen fan. I also enjoyed his Mariette in Ecstasy. How a layman can write so beautifully about life in a convent is hard to understand. On a very different note, I very much enjoyed The Assassination of Jesse James by…
