Report on ACWB

By Anonymous -
First of all apologies if you received this 3 times! If I missed anyone off the email list can you email me on jacquelineparkes@hotmail.co.uk

I just noticed we have 2 Kellys..sorry if that was confusing..

First monthly report: ( First post & start of this blog was 9th May 2011 )

Can I just say thankyou to our 34 blog authors! Particular thanks to Marion..I still haven't got full internet access..SKY are slow!

It seems as though the ACWB is proving very successful. In our first month we have 52 followers!

We have 3 priests writing for us... Fr Sean Coyle, Fr Patrick Brennan & Fr John Abberton. Thankyou so much Rev Fathers.

Although I notice we discuss such things as head coverings & Facebook..etc we are aware that the ACWB has no official preference & tries to avoid the "liturgical wars" that are such a feature of Catholic blogging.

Naturally our authors are entitled to their own preferences & generally the more contentious issues are best on our own personal blogs.

The range of topics covered are wonderful.

I notice some of our ladies are famous!

I was listening to Leticia on EWTN about "keeping infants with downs syndrome" KIDS ..& Donna-Marie Cooper O' Boyle was also v inspiring.

Some other ladies write for other online forums & we are glad of their expertise.

This is your blog & all authors have full admin access. It is thought we keep the "simple" look of the blog & not post too many you-tube clips..

I find that everyone moderates the blog & remove posts that are unhelpful...

Any suggestions?

Please invite your friends to join us & spread the word!

God bless

Jackie

    Hello.
    There is a new(male)kid on the UK blog block who writes:
    "One of the most moving speeches Pope Benedict made during his visit to Britain last year was addressed to school children..." etc etc.
    I think this post would be ideal for the ACWB.
    The lay-out of the blog looks unpretentious and clinically clean, unfussy, like the ACWB.

    Blog name
    Little Voice.

    He has commented on another blog which is how I found him.
    Will you check him out before the trolls get to him.
    He has a pleasant naivity and I feel I want to encourage him. It's probably empty nest syndrome.

    I think you need to give us the url because I have found other blogs with that name and I am sure none of them are the one you are talking about

    The title of the post seems to have to be added.
    Somebody needs to help him sort out his location or he'll never get started, Sounds genuine.

    Thanks very much. I only started this the other day so I am amazed I have any readers. I'm still learning with regard to the technology so I'm not sure why it is not showing up on Google. Maybe I havn't done enough posts yet. It does seem to work if you type in Little Voice + title of post."

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -

This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem

The Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

This is the image most often associated with the writings of the Belgian mystic Berthe Petit. She promoted devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. During my preparation for the retreat I am giving at the end of the month in Pantasaph, North Wales, I began reading a book by the late John Haffert (once the lay leader of the Blue Army of Fatima). His theory in the book, which speaks of God's "last effort" to convert the world before the coming chastisement, is that we are now living in the third or fourth "day" of the Fatima week. At this time, according to Haffert, we should be promoting devotion to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. I also consulted another book by Dr. Courtnay Bartholomew (whom I have been privileged to meet) which also speaks of the importance of this devotion, linking it with the writings and visions of the mystic Berthe Petit, and the importance of the full title of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. These things will feature in

Why Modesty Is Not Subjective

Hi there, ya'll!  The modest fashion world is one very diverse place.  Even among Catholics, the definition of "modest apparel" can vary greatly from person to person.  Recently I joined a Facebook group that advertised itself as a haven for Catholic women of all ages to share ideas for modest style and makeup and was hoping to learn more about modesty from my fellow Catholic sisters.  After a few days of being a member, though, I sadly left the group feeling a bit discouraged.  No two members seemed to agree on ANY aspect of modesty whatsoever, and the prevailing theme of the whole group was that modesty is subjective, it means something different for each woman and each woman gets to decide what she considers is "modest".  One woman very emphatically declared that she wears bikinis every summer to the beach and doesn't feel that this violates the virtue of modesty in the least.  The same woman also announced that she was never going to caution her d
