Life has been busy! As I am sure all of you can guess. School is picking up, and I started my work study. That is interesting, because they do not offer the kind of service that most public libraries do. You are really on your own in there. They don't even have a reference desk!! Can you believe it? I know I can't. I joined the club Humane Vitae that we have on campus. This Tuesday I am hopefully going to the pro-life dinner downtown with the group. They also go to D.C. in January for the March For Life. It is really cheap so I think I am going to go!
I still haven't found a church that I like. They all seem to be missing one thing that I am looking for. They are a gorgeous church but lifeless or a spiritually vibrant church but they are lacking in the decor department. I know looks aren't everything, but I went to St. Monica's this past week and it is the ugliest church on the inside! No decorations, white walls (you know how I feel about those!), and the altar was plain with no crucifix! Now the crucifix is an interesting story. I got in there, knelt down, and when I started to pray I looked up at the crucifix to see Jesus and He wasn't there! I said to myself "Jesus please help me to not get up and leave." What they do there is carry in the statue and place it on the cross for Mass, and then take it back down! Now why would you do that? Makes no sense to me! So I am torn about that place. I am going to keep looking and pray that God leads me to the right one.

I went their and I was quite moved in regards with the homily. I received shivers because it moved me so much. It was in regards to an arena in Norway where there are World records broke inside that arena. The arena seating is built so steep, so that the crowd was right on top of the athletes. So, that the crowd could be simulating a rush of energy towards the athletes. Father Paul I think his name was was making a comparison on the arena and the story behind it to our own selves. We are here to strive to succeed in life and we have a crowd surrounding us, our parents, our siblings, our family, our friends, our late relatives, and his holiness. I thought Fr. Paul touched each and one of the parishioners who attended that Mass.
