Christ the King
In honor of today’s great feast…You may well have already seen this, as it’s been “out there” for a couple weeks now.Still, I cry every time I see it.Today is one of those feasts where I feel—acutely—my shortcomings as a Christian. I want to be bolder in proclaiming Our Lord’s kingship; I want to submit; I want to know. What does it mean that He’s … [Read more...]
Saying Mass
Or, in this case, playing it.Once upon a time, we purchased a miniature Mass kit from Our Father’s House. This was years ago, and it has seen a lot of use since then.I am always willing to take an hour or so out of our school day to teach our children about the Mass. Parts are assigned; liturgical costumes donned.There is always at least one … [Read more...]
He Said/She Said (Part II)
[Read Part I here.]I realized, as I spoke to the police officer, that I was wrong in my recollection of what had happened—completely wrong. I thought the man in the car in front of me had been traveling east as I had been, when in fact he was in the west-bound lane. He had spun out into my lane upon impact.How humbling to admit to the officer that … [Read more...]
Salt and Light
We are all called to be...“I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people and tongue.”Happy feast of All the Saints!!!(What? You thought I wouldn’t use exclamation points?!)As I told my son on the way to his school, (poor kid, he doesn’t have the day off like the rest of us), “Don’t forget to pray to … [Read more...]

A Week Among Weeks
From the ArchivesThis is what I found when I came downstairs this morning.My husband did the shopping after hours last night! It’s like Christmas!Many years ago, my friend in Idaho (who is currently expecting her 10th child), told me how she had neither the time nor the energy for grocery shopping. I remember thinking at the time, “I could never … [Read more...]
Feeling Social Saturday: Blog Management
So I broke my blog fast yesterday with a fairly lighthearted 7 Takes post. Truth is, throughout the three weeks of my time offline, there were some days that went very well…and there were some days that didn’t.Truth is, there were days that felt very lonely.Truth is, I’m addicted to blogging and all the bipolar highs and lows it brings.Now granted, … [Read more...]
Retreat!
As in, this must be my battle cry.(But only for the next three weeks.)For the next three weeks, I need to retreat—that is, to go on retreat; to go away; to sit still and listen and know that He is God.(Name that verse.)Not to worry—this is no big deal. This is just a blog, and it’s just a blog break. I am taking it because, having been given a … [Read more...]
I ♥ Our Lady
Subtitled: SerendipityI was tempted to feel discouraged yesterday. Here it was the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel—allegedly one of my favorites—and I had done little to nothing to prepare for it!First off, we didn’t make it to daily Mass and this omission quickly lent itself to all sorts of guilt. I batted it away and squared my shoulders. … [Read more...]
