Do You Think It’s a Theme?

Yesterday, I went to a catechist training on the sacraments.  Patty asked 7 people to go up and say a prayer regarding one of the 7 sacraments.  She asked the girl standing next to me to do Eucharist, and me to do Penance.  I say (within her earshot), “Notice how she picked *me* to read for Penance.”  Patty replies, “There might be a reason for that.”  !!!!!

Okay, so today’s Gospel is all about David’s sin with Bathsheba. 

So, do you think that God’s trying to tell me something????  Maybe I should go to confession tomorrow….

Book Meme

I got this from Jen’s site:

Book Meme Rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

 Okay, my nearest book at the moment happens to be “Theology of the Body Explained,” by Christopher West.  On page 123, after the fifth sentence, the next 3 sentences are as follows:

“It is as if the reason for this refusal of life to surrender, which is manifested in ‘generation,’ were always the same ‘knowledge’ with which man goes beyond the solitude of his own being, and, in fact, decides again to affirm this bein in an ‘other'” (86).  Man and woman affirm the goodness of life in their openness and readiness to beget a man with the help of the Lord.  John Paul continues:  “Man, in spite of all the experiences of his life, in spite of sufferings, disappointment with himself, his sinfulness, and finally, in spite of the inevitable prospect of death, always continues, however, to put ‘knowledge’ at the ‘beginning’ of ‘generation.’

5 people to tag….  Hmmm….  Okay:  Kasia, Joe, Jill, Karen, Donny
