I have been a member of the CWG since 2010. Though inactive the past few years I am resurfacing. See my info at cradlingcatholic.com
When it comes to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass I freely admit that of all the Eucharistic Prayers that are offered I do LOVE the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I) the best. The words after the consecration are specifically about our role in this heavenly drama: “we, your servants and your holy people, offer […]
By Larry Peterson I have been posting blogs on the CWG site on the first Tuesday of the month since June of 2011. That is three and a half years ago, and 42 blogs later (or so I thought). I arrived at 42 blogs by using simple math: 12 months in a year X 3.5 […]
IT MAKES SENSE TO ME by Larry Peterson I guess the first time I realized that something was really wrong was about a year and a half ago. I have a bedroom I turned into an office, and I was sitting at the keyboard clicking away. I sensed someone behind me and turned to see […]
by Larry Peterson N.B. This is a bit unusual because I am sharing and also trying to inform. Hope you don’t mind. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, my life’s ultimate challenge is now upon me. I have become the primary caregiver to my wife who has entered a world from which there is no turning back. She has […]
I think that the plague of secularism that has engulfed the entire world possibly reached its optimal success last February. The highly civilized country of Belgium passed a law allowing children to choose to euthanize themselves. The final seal of approval was placed on this bill by none other than King Philippe himself. Yes, the […]
The second reading at Sunday’s Mass (the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: 8/31/2104) was from St. Paul to the Romans: 12:1-2. The words reverberated in my head, and I think it was not only because of their simplicity and timeliness but primarily because of the message. “I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the […]
by Larry Peterson I thought I would get a bit controversial this time and jump into murky water. It is definitely “cloudy” so plan to keep your eyes wide open before jumping in. On June 21, the President of the United States once again bypassed the Congress of the United States and signed an executive […]
On June 27, we Catholics celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The first word used to describe the Sacred Heart is MOST. How proper. The definition of MOST is “greatest quantity, amount or degree”. Holy Mother Church is sure smart. How fitting a word to use to describe the LOVE in the […]
Since the past week or so has seen my muse take a hit from an array of unwelcomed and annoying outside sources, I thought I might post something simply for fun. The following is from the Washington Post. As an aside to the Scripts National Spelling Bee, the paper set up its own spelling challenge […]
Sometimes God puts you in a place and you just have to stand in awe and humility as you feel His presence. This is about a love story and, no doubt about it, I know HE has been involved. Why I was allowed to be a small part of this story is beyond me. […]
