The whole weekend is centered around Jesus in the Eucharist - in the monstrance in the center of the gym the whole time! On Saturday night all the kids get in big circles (about 850 kids!) and Father reads the story of the woman who touched Jesus' robes and was healed. Then he brings the monstrance around to every kid so they can touch his robes. This is the 12th year and there have been LOTS of miracles. I'll post about it after the weekend is over ;-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146718549061898275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22626315.post-37783886022690122502007-02-16T13:50:00.000-05:002007-02-16T13:50:00.000-05:00No I didn't get to go - because my friend's confes...No I didn't get to go - because my friend's confession took about an hour! Yeah I was sort of glad I didn't get the chance too.<BR/>My friend did say that - he mentioned things that had happened in high school and college that she never confessed, and hadn't really even thought about since then. She said it was hard but she's glad she went.<BR/><BR/>This weather is no fun! I can't wait for spring.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146718549061898275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22626315.post-4571208870273869492007-02-16T13:25:00.000-05:002007-02-16T13:25:00.000-05:00Suzanne--thank you, and I'm STILL trying to catch ...Suzanne--thank you, and I'm STILL trying to catch up on the reviews, so more will be coming soon!<BR/><BR/>Beth--I'm cold just THINKING about weather like that! ugh!<BR/><BR/>Cool story. Wow... Did you get a chance to go to confession with that priest as well? I hate to admit it, but I'd almost be afraid to go to someone like that. I know that the whole point of confession is to bare your soul openly and confess all the dark places that still lurk inside so that the Lord can "clean it all out," but I'd be afraid that he would reveal so much that I had never even thought of before -- and that would be more than a bit overwhelming.Ouizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377634340650234707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22626315.post-49807762749372090062007-02-16T11:26:00.000-05:002007-02-16T11:26:00.000-05:00Hello!

I went on a mission trip to Mexico last summer (well 2 summers ago now), and met a very special priest at a convent that we visited. The sisters said that he had a "Padre Pio-like spirituality." My friend went to confession to him and he "read" her soul. She said it was the most amazing confession.<BR/><BR/>Hm... are you sure you don't miss these blizzard conditions?! It took us 2 days to dig out of our driveway, and 3 days for the city to plow our street. Not to mention it was -5 degrees this morning, with a -21 degree wind chill!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146718549061898275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22626315.post-88307400184385468702007-02-16T02:18:00.000-05:002007-02-16T02:18:00.000-05:00I LOVE A Return to Modesty.
