Hey you guys! Here are some definitions of words I found for today in my Sunday missal. I added reconciliation because there's been a lot of talk about that lately and so I decided to add that!
honor: Reverence and respect given to some being, whether God or a creature, because of its recognized excellence. So, too, the reverence shown to anything because of its relation to a person who is honored.
repentance: Voluntary sorrow because it offends God, for having done something wrong, together with the resolve to amend one's conduct by taking the necessary means to avoid the occasions of sin. To repent is to be sorry for sin with self-condemnation.
mercy: The disposition to be kind and forgiving. Founded on compassion, mercy differs from compassion or the feeling of sympathy in putting this feeling into practice with a readiness to assist. It is therefore the ready willingness to help anyone in need, especially in need of pardon or reconciliation.
reconciliation:The act or state of re-establishing friendship between God and a human being, or between two persons. Reconciliation with God is necessary after a person has lost the divine friendship through grievous sin. It requires repentance on the part of the sinner and forgiveness on the part of God. The willingness to be reconciled with another person is a necessary condition for obtaining God's mercy.
Well there they are!

Friday-First Sunday of Lent
Okay today I've been busy cause I've had so much stuff to do at school and ya know... Well I decided to share the verse before the Gospel today. This is from the book of Matthew Chapter 4 Verse 4B. Oh and if I ever mention something from the Bible (and you guys don't have a bible) then you can go to http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/ <- that link to access an online bible. It's seperated by books of the bible so you kinda have to know that to get it. :) Well here's the verse before the Gospel.
It states: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory! One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, Kind of endless glory!
Alrighty! There you are! You can check out the Gospel reading of this sunday by going to http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/matthew/matthew4.htm <- that link and reading verses 1-11! those are the little numbers next to all the words just in case someone needed to know that!

Wednesday-Ash Wednesday
Heyy! It's Ash Wednesday! I went to mass this morning and all the kids at school were like "you have something black on your head!" and I was like I know and it was just really annoying! Then people wanted to know what it was all about and i was like "and you call yourself a catholic" well yeah whatever.
so here's what Ash Wednesday really is...
The first day of Lent. Named from the custom of signing the foreheads of the faithful with blessed ashes. Its date depends on the date of Easter. In the early Church, public penitents were liturgically admitted to begin their penance on this day. And when this fell into disuse, from the eighth to the tenth centuries, the general penance of the whole community took place. This was symbolized by the imposition of ashes on the heads of the clergy and laity alike.
I got that off CatholicReference.net and I highly recommend it! If you have a question, you can search it there and it'll help. I just searched Ash Wednesday cause I don't feel like explaining it!

Tuesday-What If God was One of Us
Okay Steph recommended this video to me and I found this cool version of the video on youtube. It connects it to the Lion King. You know how The Chronicles of Narnia is like telling the story of Jesus and how he died for our sins? Well the way this person explained it, the Lion King kinda does the same thing. This is how they described it:
Mufasa: Jesus, died for our sins
Simba and Other Lions: Followers of God
Wildabeast: (Sorry if it is spelled wrong) Sins
Scar and Hyenas: Non-believers
So that really helped me relate it to Jesus and stuff.
What If God was One of Us by Joan Osbourne
Okay so that's it! :)

PS Remember that tomorrow's Ash Wednesday! It's not a holy day of obligation, but it's kinda important. Well tomorrow I'll explain what Ash Wednesday is and what it signifies so check out the post tomorrow.

Monday-Abstinence or Birth Control
Okay this question's coming from the desk of Steph! She sent me this like 10 years ago and I forgot to post it. So here it is!
Do you think, in public schools, they should teach and encourage contrapceptive use (sexual protection, birth control, condoms etc) or just abstinence (not having sex)?
Okay, I know there's a ton of different stuff you guys could say, so say it! :)
Okay I'm sorry about the whole stripping smiley thing cause umm it just kinda appeared and it didn't show up on my screen so I'm sorry about that! Thanks to Roni for warning me! Some innapropriate comments were posted and they will be deleted immeadiatly!
