1. "I am the bread of life.
Those who come to me shall not hunger.
Those who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
Unless the Father draw them.
Refrain:
And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up on the last day."
Those who come to me shall not hunger.
Those who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
Unless the Father draw them.
Refrain:
And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up on the last day."

I am also a lapsed Catholic and I often wish the Catholic Church would change enough to allow me to come back into the fold, I miss it. All I want is to be given equal opportunity as a woman and I am back.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it Michèle, but I think if that ever happens, it will be a few centuries after we are dead and buried...
DeleteWomen. You aren't feeding your heart and soul with what is truly Catholic. Many of us strayed due to poor education. Seek the depth of your faith and you will see authentic womanhood and a place for you in its beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is inspiring and your photos amazing. I love the reflections. This one, from the Gospel of John was put to music by my Choral teacher in high school, Sister Suzanne (as we affectionately called her.) Her choral music iz prolific and there is a book out on her "life so far". FYI!
