Hosted by the editor of "Canticle" magazine ( http://www.canticlemagazine.com), this group is for Catholic and other Christian women who love God and believe what the Church teaches is true. Wives and mothers, single women, and religious sisters are all welcome. Catholic writers are especially encouraged to join -- but all are welcome.
Articles about the Christian life, Catholic parenting, the feminine vocation, balancing work and home, educating children about their faith, and sharing our faith with other people ... there really is no limit to the subjects to be covered. You don't have to be Catholic to join this group -- all are welcome. However, the articles posted here should reflect a Catholic world view.
Genuine questions about Catholicism and Church history and beliefs are welcome. However, "loaded" comments and remarks that reflect a lack of respect for Catholics and our faith (or are a thinly disguised attempt to discredit our faith) are best posted in a different forum.
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he bore across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, ...

I’ve become increasingly conscious lately of the vast number of things we Christians argue about. The list is endless. Adult or infant baptism? Sprinkling or immersion? Salvation by faith alone, or faith plus good works? Was the world created in 6 literal 24-hour days, or over the course of years? Did Mary have other children, or did she remain a virgin? Should a woman wear a hair covering? Is the book of Baruch part of the Bible? Can women serve as pastors of the church? Must priests remain celibate? How many Sacraments are there? Is it a sin to drink alcohol? Should the Mass ...

If you know someone who has been in Alcoholics Anonymous for any length of time, ask them to show you their “chip”. When an AA member hits a milestone, they “pick up a chip”. The first milestone is when the member hasn’t taken a drink for 30 days. Later in sobriety, chips won’t be picked up as frequently, but those first days are often the toughest. I had a friend in Al-Anon, a group designed to support friends and family members of alcoholics, who came to recognize how tough it can be to remain sober. She had tried to work on her own defects ...

Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. - John 20: 6-7 Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this....... John 20:7 tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded and was placed ...
