As well as some of the other wonderful people I met along the way ... it was a very palpable coming together of the body of Christ's separated brethren at that event.Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08384291674560438678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-12906899070142304662010-01-17T18:43:10.716-06:002010-01-17T18:43:10.716-06:00I'm definitely with you on the First Friday pr...I'm definitely with you on the First Friday prayer and fasting (though it's hard for me to make it to the adoration hours these days). I loved it when they had the Monday adoration times during Advent. I loved going to adoration after work.<br /><br />I don't feel guilty about not attending the Mass. I attend Mass year-round, and often above and beyond the Sunday/Holy Day obligation. Yesterday was all about the march and the public witness and the solidarity for me. That's a once-a-year opportunity.Heather Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885565314956012423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-87260113948631395762010-01-17T17:43:29.207-06:002010-01-17T17:43:29.207-06:00Julie, we didn't make it this year.
