Holy Week- No Easter Parties at Catholic School??

[RLT]

we focus on Christ Birth and the gift that God the Father gave us on that holy night we spend Dec. 24 in midnight mass and on the 25 we spend it with our families my Children get new outfits and on Jan. 6 they will get a gift on the day of the three wise man.

I wish this was still done in Puerto Rico. They have totally adopted the Santa Clause tradition, so now many kids get gifts on the De. 25th and Jan 6.

That is how we celebrate Christmas and this is how my culture has celebrated always we tend to focus our attention on Christ all this Holidays are Catholic Holidays like Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick, etc…the different is that non-believers had taking the same holidays and had made it their own, like St Patrick who was a catholic Bishop who perform miracles in Ireland, the same with St. Nick another Catholic priest.

Yeah, it irks me that St.Nicholas has been reduced to a chubby red-suited elf, and this year especially I was really saddened to see what St. Patricks day has become.

How much reflection do you all expect from children on their short comings? Is this what “Catholic Guilt” is all about?

Peace!

No, it is what God’s love, mercy and forgiveness is all about.

It’s no cathlic guilt - which is tributed more to people whit is sues of OCD/scrupulosity.

The ondler and recently reised vernacular is “having a ewll-formed conscience.”

Peace!

and having a little bit of guilt is not that bad either, if you commit a sin and you don’t have some kind of guilt you wouldn’t see the necessary to confess and repent.

I re-read this and realized that I wonder if it was in English. Sigh.


Please let me try again:

It’s not* Cathlic guilt* - which is attributed more to people who have issues of OCD/scrupulosity.

The older and [should be] recently revived [proper terminology, which may have fallen by the wayside] is “Having a well-formed conscience.”

Okay, I think I got it right that time!
