Short answer: ju...re: Changes in the Roman Missal.<br /><br />Short answer: just about every prayer you say during Mass will change in its "official" wording. Or, perhaps better said, people will tell you that you have to change what you say.<br /><br />Longer answer. Go back to the USCCB site (http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/roman-missal/index.cfm) and look at the "related information" menu on the right side (in green, probably for Ordinary Time. Who knows.) If you extend it (click 'see all 20 pages') you'll find a link to Changes in the People's Prayers. There is one for Changes in thr Priest's prayers, too...<br /><br />Whole lotta words changing for reasons that elude the average pray-er and don't have much to do with knowing and loving God, and living likewise. But that's just my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-10856754279531332032011-08-24T20:50:05.674-07:002011-08-24T20:50:05.674-07:00ha ha--thank you, i enjoyed that. but my experienc...ha ha--thank you, i enjoyed that. but my experiences(with non-lovers of GARLIC) is all i truly have to go by. i can eat garlic as iam cooking--oh! just love that burn!.<br />love it more as i lick my fingers!<br />maybe its not that these people are not garlic lovers--maybe i have it all wrong--they just do not care for my BREATH? i must have misunderstood entirely! maybe they really are NICE--but i chased them away! would you run from the cook when she hands you a clove of GARLIC and says"EAT!"??? i just thought they were NOT nice...got it all wrong didnt I?...well, I do love it! i wish i lived in GILROY CA. it is not that far away from me...only wish the wind would drift the aroma of GARLIC fields in the direction of Sonora,CA.Karen Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004052731570199557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-31485583505961700432011-08-23T15:31:25.513-07:002011-08-23T15:31:25.513-07:00@Karen-Elise, I have to disagree with you, I love ...@Karen-Elise, I have to disagree with you, I love garlic, my Mum doesn't like it and she's a much nicer person than me, in fact probably a much nicer person than most people I know!

Here's what I would recommend:<br /><br />First, get thee to thy local parish, and ask about converting! The RCIA process is pretty lengthy, and usually people are accepted into full communion with Holy Mother Church at Easter. If you get started now, you may be ready by then. Having converted, look into various lay apostolates and ministries, such as Third Order Franciscans, Third Order Dominicans, Opus Dei, and the like.<br /><br />Also, read the lives of the saints. You, like all of us, are called to sainthood, and you ought to find an example (or three, or more) of people who were like you, or were empowered by God to do as you truly are meant to do, or both.Arkanabar T'verrick Ilarsadinhttp://arkanabar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-43727073755488789712011-08-22T09:02:49.092-07:002011-08-22T09:02:49.092-07:00Here's my question....At what time in history ...Here's my question....At what time in history did Catholics decide to condemn Masonry or The Order of the Eastern Star? Are they the same? HELP! <br /><br />I bought some religious items from an Estate Sale. The estate lot had a membership to the Fresno Chapter of The order of The Eastern Star. The membership holder was a Nun. I have her holy cards, letters she has written with her signature, friends memorial cards( including a few priests) and other devotional items.<br /><br /> I wasn't really surprised by her membership, however others looked at it has the devil walked into the room! How can a Nun be in the Eastern Star? Can Catholics be a Mason? I'm not armed with such knowledge can you help me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-27529053232173355902011-08-22T08:43:56.342-07:002011-08-22T08:43:56.342-07:00Saint Andrew of Scot.....

i got ...oh so happy to see a new blogging from you!<br />i got and wore my new "work clothes" a white veil and white collar--and long black dress, black stocking and good decent walking shoes also black--so now iam in BUSINESS, as you might say.<br />when i put on that white veil for the first time--i knew this was the most right decision i ever made in my life--i have spent my life comparing all men to JESUS--now i do not have to do that--he is my Boss (as always) and now i feel like i have the best husband anyone could ever want. iam a non-denominational Nun--with no basic church and no fellow Nuns to work with me. iam looking for others like me, on the web. if you know of any--please tell me. because i was not a catholic at the time I became a Christian- because of that,i had no choice in what i could do for a ministry. when i was 17 (in the 1960's) the only ministry a woman could have was to be married to a minister--or become a missionary. i went to Bible schools and other places to find that MINISTER husband--not a one came of that search. at the same time i would go listen to missionaries. nothing came of that search either. for many yrs now, since i turned 45, i have asked God if he would accept VOWs from me like a nun makes? he said no--until last yr. Dec.3, i turned 64<br />and i made those vows with some extras that i felt were necessary for a Good ministry of healing and personal prophecy. He told me, <br />"now you must get a veil and dress for "WORK" as a Nun." <br />he went on to tell me that satan is scared to death of Nuns.he sees that veil and the rest--and he knows that they are MINE!<br /> that they dont take "no" for an answer from man nor beast--and, he said, " I rarely tell them "NO" myself!" <br />so i did as told. and i wore that veil and the rest. but i think it was the VEIL that made me feel like i was armed and ready for battle in an army for my Lord and Savior. <br />here i was, looking like a weak, little, old, helpless, woman--it was a total disquise-because what i saw in the mirror was a "WARRIOR" <br />iam thanking God all the time, I feel beautiful--wrinkles, fat, ugly spots on my face-- but i was beautiful to JESUS!<br />please help me--if you can, to find others like me. i do think i could get more done if i were involved with others with the same goals--and what are they? to be obedient to Gods instruction and His word--and share HIS love through work for those who need me.<br /> what do you think, Sister? iam new at his and need all the advice possible. i wrote before and told you that I was a member of our local Catholic church, which i love. but iam not sent out by the church to do what iam doing.<br />any help would be so much appreciated..i love your blog--i was waiting to read the next one--i love your humor...iam not the only one it seems!
