For many across the country, the school year is just getting underway. We parents will load our kids up with all the necessary supplies except that one specific brand of glue on the list that I swear does not exist and send them on their way. We will fill out forms and begin to share our experience and knowledge with them regarding subjects such as algebra, biology, literature, and more.
But there is one subject that we parents need to study up on more and that is social media.
Why does a baptized adult have to go through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)? Such a person may already know almost everything about the Catholic religion, its prayers, and the Ten Commandments.
Why doesn’t the Catholic Church encourage its members to establish small groups for

My husband died of cancer almost two years ago. He was the love of my life as I was his. Will I ever see him again and be with him?
Yes, you will see him and be with him.

Q. For six years, I was the sole caregiver of my mom and my aunt. They died eight weeks apart. I miss them so much; they were my best friends, and we did everything together. I still grieve their deaths, especially during the holidays. I cry often, but I offer all my loneliness, sadness, and Masses for the holy souls in purgatory. When will my pain and loneliness ease? I am very active in my local parish.
God as like a friend. Still others, including Jesus of Nazareth, speak of God as a father or a mother.
