We totally need to create a more legit one!<br /><br />You've been to Mass in so many awesome places! Ahhh! I totally want to be able to say I've been to Mass all over the world. How beautiful! Also, that Switzerland communion service is cracking me up! And also inspiring. They were so eager to get to Christ that the church became chaos!! It's an interesting thought! :) Stephanie @ Blessed to Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432625948200484509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-72228008891152798562014-09-05T08:14:25.313-05:002014-09-05T08:14:25.313-05:00Praise God indeed!

Ha! But it's still fun to try. AND you got another St. Isidore. How neat!! <br /><br />Thanks for letting me know about C.S. Lewis. Oooops! Totally missed the point that he wasn't actually Catholic. Eeeek! I'm sure hoping he converted at the end of his life. It'd be a total win for our lovely Church. :)<br /><br />And yes! I've read posts by her before.

I'll spare you my thoughts on how awful that quiz was, but it was fun. :)<br /><br />I too love that I can travel anywhere and experience mass. I've done it in Switzerland, Ireland, and most recently Denver. We travel a lot, and it's always fun to figure out where the church is, what the times are, and know what to expect, even in another language.<br /><br />Although, when I went to mass in Switzerland, I was NOT ready for the free for all communion service! I'm used to nice, orderly lines, and everyone, including old ladies, made a DASH for the Eucharist regardless of where they were sitting. It was like everyone was running to meet their favorite rock star, which, in a really cool way, was very appropriate. :)Chellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237286808649279346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-61430138412603174012014-08-27T17:55:05.316-05:002014-08-27T17:55:05.316-05:00praise God for our Catholic Faith. you are so righ...praise God for our Catholic Faith. you are so right, I appreciate the most when I am traveling I can see her "at home" in a Catholic Church.

It's the best! Hmmm....Yay for being Catholic! It's the best! Hmmm...I'm not sure I trust Buzzfeed to pick a saint for me. ;) I got St. Isidore of Seville, patron saint of the internet, so I guess that's reasonable. My patron saint for this year (from the saint generator at conversiondiary.com) is St. Isidore the farmer, so maybe I need to stick with all saints named Isidore. <br /><br />Wait, C.S. Lewis wasn't Catholic. I thought it's rumored he might have converted at the end of his life though. We can hope. :)<br /><br />Do you read the blog of the woman whose son's survival (was not breathing for an hour, I think) is being investigated as a potential miracle attributed to Bishop Sheen? It's like watching history in the making. :)polkadothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617893450776041599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-64450575207864171342014-08-25T23:12:29.742-05:002014-08-25T23:12:29.742-05:00I love this post!

Gotta love the universality - super helpful when travelling, and it's so fun to experience the Church in different parts of the country and the world.<br /><br />I love C.S.

That ...I love this list, and I love being Catholic! That Sheen quote is all kinds of fantastic. I do have to be that person though... I'm pretty sure CS Lewis was Anglican; almost Catholic, but not quite. My saint was Saint Isidore of Seville. Apparently he was kind of a living encyclopedia and is the patron saint of the internet.

Saint Anthony, ...Interesting! I got Saint Anthony:<br /><br />Saint Anthony, patron saint of lost items! Anthony was a Franciscian friar (no really, he was buddies with Saint Francis) whose extremely valuable book of scripture was stolen by a greedy student. He prayed so hard that the student was moved by the Holy Spirit to repent and return the book to him of his own free will. People pray to him when they lose stuff.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971134726215605240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753193842106749410.post-48721329165676520782014-08-25T13:43:23.202-05:002014-08-25T13:43:23.202-05:00First time I've visited your Little Happies bu...First time I've visited your Little Happies but it was fun!
