I just read a beautiful post by Cay Gibson over at Cajun Cottage Under the Oaks. I think it is particularly appropriate during this Christmas season when I can feel squeezed and the “victims” of those stressed feelings are those that I love the most on God’s green earth – my husband and children. Cay [...]
Thinking I wasn’t going out today except to drop my daughter at her part-time job, I opted for wool socks and slippers this morning. It was not until I was entering the front door of our local library that I realized that I had neglected to change out of my favorite footwear. And wouldn’t you [...]
Often times when I meet someone and they find out that we home-school, I get the inevitable question: “Well are you a teacher?” I tell them “yes”, but usually explain that a teaching degree is not a necessity in this home-school journey.

And to another he said, “Follow me.”
But he replied, [...]
Well I missed the point again. I must say that for some of the season of Advent, I kept my eyes on the point (the birth of Christ). I celebrated Advent with my children more deeply than ever before although there were times that I allowed the hustle and bustle of commitments to divert my [...]
In our parish the first Friday of the month is the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Having been raised as a Presbyterian, I was raised to believe that communion was just a symbol of the body and blood of Jesus. When I became a Catholic over 8 years ago, I basically continued in that [...]

St. Gertrude’s Prayer Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy divine son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
