Wednesday, September 23, 2020 – Yesterday I regaled you with an extremely short history of the protestant reformation and Sacred Scripture. Today we are going to look at SACRED TRADITION, that oft forgotten, but equally important pillar of the THREE PILLARS OF THE CHURCH’S AUTHORITY. It is easy for us in 2020 to pick up Read More
Day 190 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Pillars of the Church’s Authority (Part II)
Tuesday, September 22, 2020 – Normally, we would discuss today’s topic (SACRED SCRIPTURE) and tomorrow’s topic (SACRED TRADITION) as part of the THREE PILLARS OF THE CHURCH’S AUTHORITY together because they make up the “deposit of faith.” Also, that is how the Catechism deals with them. However, I want to look at each separately because Read More
Day 189 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Pillars of the Church’s Authority (Part I)
Monday, September 21, 2020 – Most of you have probably never asked how or where the Church gets her authority, but if you have, then this round of super basic primers is for you! If you ask a 3rd grader, and I have, “where does the Church get her authority?” You will get the answer, Read More
Day 188 – Standard Break Day!
Sunday, September 20, 2020 – Whew! We finished another round of super basic primers. Go us! Today I will break. Tomorrow I will take up a new round of super basic primers, this time on the three pillars of the Church’s authority. Ooo…sounds fun! See you all tomorrow! Mother of Good Counsel, pray for us!
Day 187 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part XI)
Saturday, September 19, 2020 – Yesterday we walked though going to Confession and showed how it goes through each of the expressions and forms of prayer. Today we want to do that for the Mass. Now, the Mass has a lot more “stuff” to it, so I will be pulling out examples rather than a Read More
Day 186 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part X)
Friday, September 18, 2020 – Over the next two days I am going to cover specific “times of prayer,” for lack of a better phrase. Basically, I want to take two very important “things” we do as Catholics—going to Confession and going to Mass—and talk about how the expressions of prayer and the forms of Read More
Day 185 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part IX)
Thursday, September 17, 2020 – For our last FORM OF PRAYER, we will be talking about PRAISE. If you remember a few days ago, we had a lovely discussion about blessing and adoration, and there was a crazy tangent by yours truly about a nutty definition found on the website of the Cathedral for my Read More
Day 184 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part VIII)
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 – For me, today’s FORM OF PRAYER is probably the easiest to understand. We will be covering prayers of THANKSGIVING. Simply put, prayers of thanksgiving is when you thank God for all the good things He does for you, and I mean everything! All the great things that happen in your Read More
Day 183 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part VII)
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 – Yesterday we talked about prayers of petition and that they are asking God for forgiveness and help. Today we will focus on a form of prayer that is a petition but is also separated out into its own category: INTERCESSION. Why is it separated out? Probably because this form of Read More

I am your hostess and teacher, Mrs. Flusche, and I am slowly losing my mind… Anyhoo, back to our FORMS OF PRAYER. Today we will be talking about PETITION, or as it is known in Read More
