As a lifetime learner, I like to be able to better understand the world around me if/when possible. That said, I have a question: In the Mexican culture, what tradition is taking place when people have an outdoor party where they...

MaryK56 If you feel that you are creative, then by all means do it yourself. It's not a bad idea to ask friends or family for ideas or suggestions, either. When it comes to such things as electrical, carpentry, plumbing, etc., then you need to get a licensed...

I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a bit tired of individual culture parades in our country. Is this not being more divisive to us as a nation rather than uniting us? Rather than having specialized parades and...

I'm sure this will stir up many feelings, emotions and opinions. I'm not trying to begin any type of war here, but I am genuinely interested in the view points of others (especially Christians) on this. Lately, I've noticed a...

MaryK56 I definitely believe that there is a devil. If you can acknowledge that Jesus Christ was a real person, then consider this: Jesus not only kicked him and his followers out of heaven, but also met the devil more than once while on earth, according to the...

We surely need protection in nowaday if you are living in a city which is full of violence and robbery cases.That's why some building will hire security guards to protect the people and the property of those buildings.Some of the...

MaryK56 I am a security guard. While I would like to carry a gun, my company will not allow it because of liability issues, and the fact that they refuse to pay for such training or equipment. I work for a university in the U.S., and our school is the only one in the...

I find it very curious that when something really bad happens--i.e., a sudden death in a family, natural disasters, wars, etc.--most times the first response from many people is to blame God for the outcome. Yet, if God is...

We are being told that Health Care is a right given in the Constitution there fore the government can supply free health care for all. If that is true then the right bear arms is also in the constitution "A well regulated Militia,...

MaryK56 OK, so where in the Constitution does it explicitly say that Americans have a "right" to health care? If I remember correctly, it does indicate that we have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." If there really was a "right" to life, what...

Yesterday was my equivalent to watching the moon landing. I watched America adopt universal health coverage into policy, and can't wait to see what happens next. My question is - how will this be implemented? Like, how and...

MaryK56 You know, no one will really know the extent of this catastrophy called "reform" until it actually starts, and that's when???? Oh, yeah...2014. What speaks volumes to me are the companies (like Caterpillar, Verizon, etc.) and some doctors who have already come...

MaryK56 You know, I'd love to that, but the place needs a LOT of work that I can't afford to do. Since I am watching every penny that I have right now, there is really no way for me to fix it up. Only one unit of three is available, and it's only a one-bedroom and the...

Of course, Rep. Bart Stupak said he doesn't pay attention to the nuns, he listens to the Bishops and "Focus on the Family"... WASHINGTON – Catholic nuns are urging Congress to pass President Barack Obama's health care plan, in...

MaryK56 I'm curious...where do you get these "facts" and "numbers"? How many millions already in this country who do have insurance now will have to pay even more if this bill is passed? And... lets not compare millions to thousands, especially when there have been...

MaryK56 Sorry...but I can't go along with these so-called nuns. They took a vow with the Church to abide by its teachings. So to support such a bill with the subsidized abortion provision as it is is against the pro-life teaching of the Church, which is why the...

Last night, we went to a gig with a friend who is a professional singer. He ended the evening with this wonderful song by Luther Vandross. It really resonated with me, because I lost my father when I was only 16, and even now, 40...

MaryK56 What a beautiful song!! Yes, it did remind me of my father who passed away 16 years ago, and yes I cried when I heard this song. It brought back some great memories. My mom died 3 years ago on April 7th, which is kind of a coincidence since my dad died on...

MaryK56 Yes, this is addly the case. Not all priests are like this though. To be sure, listen to what is being said and what he is focusing on in his homily. If the topic does not relate to the Gospel, Church teaching, or related to something significant about the...

MaryK56 I'd also like to add something about priests. Not all priests are able to teach the Word of God the way it should be done. After Vatican II, in the 1970's, many priests were not trained properly. It was not the seminarians fault, but those training them in...

MaryK56 Well, Latin Mass is the original Mass performed in the Catholic Church. It is completely said in Latin because it was/IS the universal language of the Catholic Church, meaning that all churches around the world at one time only used Latin in the Mass. These...
