As a Catholic writer yourself, you know we often indict ourselves when we hold lifestyles up to Catholic teaching.Patti Maguire Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289546250102333337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402898485770395507.post-9666784374587164032012-06-18T11:23:19.710-07:002012-06-18T11:23:19.710-07:00Mea culpa, mea culpa, this sounds like my examinat...Mea culpa, mea culpa, this sounds like my examination of conscience before confession!

I won't say I'm not ever guilty of this, but I know it's important to work against it.Patti Maguire Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289546250102333337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402898485770395507.post-50260660815940821252012-06-18T04:53:14.933-07:002012-06-18T04:53:14.933-07:00Agreed.

Sarcasm is a hostile weapon designed to injure another. Everywhere on television, the internet and leaking out into daily life people think sarcasm is funny or use it as a put-down weapon. Everyone is encouraged to drop these habits that can sink the soul into an eternal state of punishment.Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288830762446483046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402898485770395507.post-68974497415411127422012-06-17T20:48:53.168-07:002012-06-17T20:48:53.168-07:00Thanks, Tom.

(Psalm 4:4)<br /> <br />Of course, God's grace provides the humility, fortitude, wisdom and love required to implement it.Tom Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905770671401553162noreply@blogger.com
