Peculiar Catholic Practices

An example of which, from a non-Catholic perspective, might be tomorrow's feastday, Our Lady of Sorrows. Thanks to Heart, Mind & Strength for the reminder. An explanation from an old source can be found in the on-line Catholic Encyclopedia. A more recent explanation was given by Father Saunders in the Catholic Herald.

In line with the article theme, our home is now being visited by Our Lady of Fatima (well, a statue representing her). She will stay with us a week, during which we should be praying more intently in honour of her presence. We have a particular devotion to her, having been blessed in troubled times in the recent past. But that's another story.
