What a cutie! Best wishes to the Copts ... they have a tough time in Egypt these days. Well, for a long time past, too, I guess.
Dear Tax-Chick,
What a cutie! Hmmm. Interesting Comment. Please also pray for the Catholic Church in South Asia, specially in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
The Catholic Church faces a lot of persecution in India from Extremist Hindu Groups and in Pakistan and Bangladesh from Radical Islamist Groups and Fundamentalists.
I guess you live in North Carolina where Catholics are a tiny minority. I am quite familiar with the Catholic Church in North Carolina as I lived for 4.5 years in North Georgia specifically in Lawrenceville, North Georgia and later in Athens, Georgia.
In one of the Parishes, where I was a Parishioner -- Our Assistant pastor used to often travel to Charlotte, North Carolina to a Catholic Mission to say Mass on a week end.
Prayers for all of your little ones. How many do you have ? India is 9.5 hours ahead of North Carolina E.S.T. when daylight savings starts in Spring and Summer and 10.5 Hours ahead in Winter.
In Christ,
