I'm also happy to be here (signed on August 31). I'm new to Catholicism, so if I seem a bit clueless...it's because at this point, I am! But hopefully my contributions will be of benefit.
Welcome to our heavenly mother's forum and to your new found faith within the Catholic church, Desertstar!
This is the Chihuahuan Desert, and yes it is pretty. And awfully hot this summer! I've never been to NH.
Shalom welcome, if there's one thing I envy you for is the desert stars. Also looking at the Church with new eyes. You know Jesus must haveooked at the stars as you do. He was born right under a big one.
In Spanish star is Estrella In French Etoille. This very beautiful French Hymn is called, Crown of Star
One day shortly we will hear the Angels Trumpets and the Stars form a Thrown for Mary at the Coming of her Son. Look to the heavens watch the Stars Read the Apocalypse.
The Dawn is about to break. Who is she who comes fair as the moon... The Earth and alltherin fallsilent.in the perplexity of Thier dear.. . and heaven hold.its.breath... The stars.fro. a.Couch. The Queen comes An.angellic.Army.at her Feet
So glad to welcome you to the forum! I like Texas very much. My son did his graduate work at UT. I like your forum name too. Lovely.
Hey, welcome! Never been out West, but I hear it's beautiful! Welcome to the Catholic Church! Welcome Home, friend!
Thank you Padraig, Sam, AED, Jo, Gracia - for the additional warm welcomes, comments, images, video. Yes, this area is beautiful. We'll be easing into Autumn by month's end. Our seasons here are "gentle" (aside from mid-summer).
A warm welcome to you DS! I’m a cradle catholic, but I learn from the great faith of the more learned minds here of this blessed form. Bless!
