I would qualify the other churches we've been visiting while away as incredibly beautiful. I do find it interesting, though, that a child so young has a sense of what feels like home and what doesn't.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537616411264726552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-19312659597503477102010-01-18T22:37:21.208-06:002010-01-18T22:37:21.208-06:00I read a Joseph Pearce book once that began with a...I read a Joseph Pearce book once that began with a chapter on the catechesis of beauty. Maybe that term can be found other places, but I encountered it there and the concept stuck with me.Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-64983515811208694942010-01-18T20:21:22.391-06:002010-01-18T20:21:22.391-06:00I really think beautiful churches are a form of ca...I really think beautiful churches are a form of catechesis. I've seen Protestants and non-Christians stand in awe at the Basilica. Even my stoutly agnostic husband has a fond appreciation of really beautiful churches with artful stained glass. Beauty is a universal language. We Catholics would do well to remember that when building our churches.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279960474896005256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-85701016274753713152010-01-18T16:41:52.569-06:002010-01-18T16:41:52.569-06:00Beautifully said.

We haven't been able to get to COSP for mass for a while and it's interesting to see how the kids have missed it (even though we're enjoying our trips to St Louis and the Cathedral). Max has been saying, "I don't want to go to this church. I want to go to the BROWN church." I guess that's his toddler way of asking to go "home" for mass.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537616411264726552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-67667876289853850752010-01-17T22:40:56.501-06:002010-01-17T22:40:56.501-06:00Funny you should mention that, Brookie...

Working with lace is very easy and it can also be priced to fit into your teeny budget. Stay tuned!<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/shop/headcoverings<br /><br />By the way, what was the movie you mentioned?Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-28160823628297863812010-01-17T19:20:58.230-06:002010-01-17T19:20:58.230-06:00This reminds me of a movie I watched on Gothic arc...This reminds me of a movie I watched on Gothic architecture and the Church. Very true and beautiful. <br /><br />I found your blog through a Google search for chapel veils. from your post, to seemed to have acquired quite a few. Do you have any good websites that you purchase from, that offer reasonable prices? I'm destined to be a poor college student for several years to come, so bargains are what I search for!<br /><br />-BrookieBrookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956407148004633105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-32663227466631375602010-01-17T14:47:00.178-06:002010-01-17T14:47:00.178-06:00Lovely!
