1.  "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
    -Pope Francis

    My friend asked me if I knew anyone who was Gay, Catholic and Chaste.  I didn't.  I began researching and found a well-spring of talented speakers and writers who are practicing Catholics, Gay and Chaste. 


    With the New Evangelization in the church, I think it is important for Catholics to understand the teaching on homosexuality and to assist in supporting gay (or rather same-sex attracted) people on their journey with Christ. There is also a link below for parents.

    Videos 

    There is a website called www.CatholicSexuality.com with videos on Homosexuality and Chastity in the Catholic Church.  You have to create an account but it just takes a minute.
    "What you’ll find here are videos by a group of faithful gay Catholics who believe in the Church’s teachings about marriage and sexuality. We’ll talk about what that teaching is and why we’ve embraced it, the spiritual riches that we’ve found within the Church, the obstacles and misunderstandings that we’ve faced, and the ways that Catholics can help to support gay people who seek the Lord with good will.I haven’t watched these yet, but when we were filming them, I think my favorites were “Falling in Love” and “Gay Saints.” There’s also a section specifically for parents -Eve Tushnet

  2. You don't have to be catholic, you don't have to be religious, you don't have to know how to pray and you don't have to know Jesus.  Just say the Three O'clock Hour Prayer, at 3pm to receive extraordinary graces.  God will take care of the rest.--Try it this Friday, Good Friday. 


    Here is what you do:
    Even if it is only briefly, look at a crucifix, an image of Jesus on the cross, or a picture of Jesus and say this prayer.


    Three O'clock Hour Prayer:

    You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.  O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.  ...O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You.

    More Information:


    In a vision to Polish nun, St. Faustina (1905-1938), Jesus promised that during the 3 o'clock hour He would give extraordinary graces to whomever might ask for them. He said that from 3:00-4:00 in the afternoon is the Hour of Great Mercy.
