		<description><![CDATA[We offer these suggestions as a Catholic approach to sharing your faith with family and friends. Say “I will pray for you” to a friend who has shared some personal concern or difficulty. Respond “Thank God” when someone shares a success story with you. Make the sign of the cross as you pray before a meal in a restaurant. Display a religious article in the main rooms of your home. Invite someone who has been away from the Church for a while to attend Mass with you. Devote a specific amount of time to your daily prayer life. It is impossible to maintain a relationship with anyone without communication. Prayer should be viewed as a dialogue with God, not a monologue. Make sure you allow time for quiet reflection and listen with your heart to what the Lord tells you. Offer to help your neighbor even when it&#8217;s not convenient. Take time in your life for those who are suffering or in need. Remember, people are more important than tasks. When you see God working in your life, point it out to others. We are all enriched by the personal witness of others. Talk to friends about the good experiences [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Top 10 Reasons to Come Back No matter how long you have been away from the Catholic Church, you can always come home. You can start going to Mass again (find a parish) and become a part of a parish community that is ready to welcome you with open arms. God is inviting you to dive into your faith in a deeper way than you ever have before. You may already be feeling a strange inner pull to look into the Church again. That spiritual longing you feel is God drawing you back to Himself. God never forces; He only invites. He leaves the decision to return to the Catholic Church up to you. There are numerous reasons for coming back to the Church. Though Christ is at the heart of the many reasons to come home to the Church, each individual’s experience in returning can be unique, depending upon whatever speaks to his or her heart. Here are ten reasons (by Lorene Hanley Duqin of Our Sunday Visitor: http://www.osv.com and edited by Catholics Come Home) that influenced the decision of many of us to return to the practice of the Catholic faith: Number 10: Because we want meaning in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do we confess to priests? Can&#8217;t we just confess to God? Let&#8217;s just suppose for a moment that I, as an underpaid writer, decided that I needed some fast cash and so I rob a store! Whom would I owe an apology to? Certainly I would apologize to the store&#8217;s owner, as well as my family, friends, parishioners, bishop, and the community in general. My bad act reflects on me and all who know me. People would say, &#8220;I heard your priest robbed a store&#8230;&#8221; Well, sin is much the same way. We are all affected by each other&#8217;s sin since we are all members of the same body. Each of us is called to live out the baptismal call to make Christ more visible in the world. When we sin, we fail to hold up our part. Confession is not only reconciliation with God, but also with the church. The priest represents the church community in the sacrament, so that as we are reconciled with God (who does not need a &#8220;middle man&#8221;), we are also reconciled with the church. Two other thoughts: We know the time, place and moment we sin. With confession, we also know the [...]]]></description>

A second meeting is planned for both PARENTS AND CHILDREN on Sunday, January 24, 1:30 pm in the Nativity School library.]]></description>
