The Role of Women in The Church


This week I have:

read at morning Mass three times


led the Rosary after Mass twice


helped out at and cleared up after the Coffee Morning


helped out at and cleared up after Fr. J's 'New Catholics' meeting


attended a Bible study with the Methodists up the road


attended the parish Prayer Group


and swept, mopped and polished the main church, two side chapels, one vestry and one sacristy.


At this rate I'll be hearing confessions on Saturday and saying the 10 o'clock Mass on Sunday.








Oh, and since it seems to have been quite a religious week, Renae thinks I should tell you about my guest post on her blog....

I went over there and read that and loved it and sent it to about a hundred people. Incredible. Then I went and put her blog in my favorites, too, becasue if she recognizes such good stuff as what you wrote for that post, then she has a blog worth keeping an eye on.

And I've been working all day on the parish auction. How did I get wrapped up in that? Not very prayerful, but using my talents, I guess.

I'm trying so very hard to simultaneously "simplify" AND read more blogs more consistently.

It's working ever so well. :)

Oh, and that's a lovely picture of you up there, MOTL. ;)

No-one appreciates the hard work you do for your local church. And I find it can be quite thankless.

I'm on the Entertainment Committee on mine with some really scary bossy women! And they're the kind that scare people from coming to church!

What is a Guest Post?

Jackie, thank you so much for the book of Advent reflections... it was a really sweet thought.

...and I have apologised on your behalf to Fr. Tim!
