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.
Truly special
A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine physically or mentally disabled contestants assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win.
All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said: “This will make it better.” Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story.
Why?
Because deep down we know this one thing: What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.
