In my very liberal California town there is a growing number of health-conscious women who do not want to risk taking the Pill and are looking for more natural ways to understand and monitor their fertility. Of course "official" information is out there, but it also great to read about women who are practicing NFP. Thanks so much to all the Catholic ladies who so generously share this information! <br /><br />KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-78893521807757336922011-08-01T17:22:24.416-07:002011-08-01T17:22:24.416-07:00Terrific!Terrific!Stacy Trasancoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638075878905614981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-92075478182958671952011-08-01T14:19:37.431-07:002011-08-01T14:19:37.431-07:00Thank you so much Leila this was a wonderful post ...Thank you so much Leila this was a wonderful post to read right now.

Please, I am not, definitely not being negative rather I am affirming that yes, yes we need solid, uplifting content produced by Catholics who love Christ and his Church and have a heart for souls, all souls more than merely being "right."<br /><br />God bless,Owenhttp://drawntocatholicism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-5334065879242718502011-08-01T12:44:22.090-07:002011-08-01T12:44:22.090-07:00Thanks for your encouragement!Thanks for your encouragement!Infertile Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991940151726561815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-73660993780852216882011-08-01T12:21:12.998-07:002011-08-01T12:21:12.998-07:00This is timely.

Although I am much more of a commenter than a blogger, I often post articles and other "Catholic" things on facebook...which sparks debate (and animosity). I recently deactivated my account in order to spend time away and pray about just how God wants me to spread the gospel...my thinking process goes something like this: Should I keep my mouth shut and just always be kind and loving towards everyone? Or should I post what I feel should be shared and understood by the masses, even those who believe very different things about the world and God than me? <br /><br />Either way, I think this time away from that social network is a good way to reflect and focus on other more eminent duties. <br /><br />Oh yeah...I want to be like you when I grow up, you want to be like Fr Robert Barron...we all have our goals :)Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347616073655350336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-54820342883615313412011-08-01T10:16:44.591-07:002011-08-01T10:16:44.591-07:00I can't wait to get my hands on this book - an...I can't wait to get my hands on this book - and get a copy for my pastor, who will love it... thanks for once again keeping us abreast of what's going on out there!<br />And thank you for admitting to your own discouragement as a Catholic blogger - sometimes I feel like it's just me :)Christine Falk Dalessiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079647740999376500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-59634713428211710372011-08-01T09:38:26.592-07:002011-08-01T09:38:26.592-07:00Oh, Leila, Leila, Leila....thank you.

Lewis would put it, very much hanging around in the hall of Christianity, and have not yet chosen a door to go through, that I have found myself were I am in terms of belief is to a great extent due to reading religious, and mainly Catholic, bloggers. Ironically, this started when I was a member of an atheist group on Facebook, where people used to link to various religious websites and blogs to mock them. This meant that I was exposed to ideas I had never previously encountered, having been raised atheist. I found many of these bloggers urging those outside of Christianity just to try praying. So I did... Much reading, thinking, debating and arguing followed, and still follows, but somewhere along the line, I suddenly realised that I believed that Jesus was the son of God. (Though I'm still struggling to work out my direction and my philosophical underpinnings...)<br /><br />Also, reading Catholic bloggers writing so vehemently about the rosary made me decide to learn to pray it - and I don't know how I would have got through my university exams without it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-27223894131550529902011-08-01T06:23:25.991-07:002011-08-01T06:23:25.991-07:00My hats off to you bloggers.
