For she alone has Jesus Christ on the altar…” is a statement from St Padre Pio give or take a few words. I have to check the accurate quote. For all that is going on, I cling to the Catholic Church. And not just me. Many people throughout history and now continue to love and…

I did not know or remember about this but on August 1 or 2nd you can receive an indulgence of full forgiveness of sins if you visit a Franciscan church and fulfill a few other things (link below) – I have consecrated myself to Jesus through Mary so all of my indulgences or other good…

I am, of course, a few days late with this post as I am definitely a Martha… I mean, who can complain though – either way, you can be a saint. However, as women, we often are too “busy” to be contemplative like Mary. We are running around the kitchen and the whole house saying,…

And every sinner has a future. It is a well known saying and yet I had forgotten it until I heard Father mention it today in his homily. It is true that I have a future. Maybe to become a saint. But so much has to be peeled away and maybe burnt off. I can…

Forgive my terrible paraphrase of Genesis 50: 20 when Joseph assures his brothers that he will not retaliate after they basically sold him into slavery. This reading was from today’s mass.

The post I last wrote was about how “I decided” to go to daily mass… and then I was meditating on this and realized that it was not that I decided but that more like I was called and answered. Hmm. Deep thoughts on this Wednesday. Yesterday at mass the homily the Priest preached had…

For me, the impetus to attend daily mass at my local church was due to Hallow. I started listening to meditations and prayers on Hallow in October 2023 to avoid a tough conversation that I thought would arise. The conversation never arose but the time spent on Hallow was slowly but surely changing me or…

I could not share what the First Friday of the month is without also sharing what First Saturday is for our dear Mama Mary. This devotion goes back to the appearances of Our Lady of Fatima on July 13, 1917 to the three shepherd children. Mama also asked for the devotion to Venerable Sr Lucia…

Today in church on the feast of St Thomas – that is “doubting Thomas”, I got the idea to begin to share my thoughts and experiences of my Catholic Faith on a blog. I have come a long way yet not so far in my faith. I am trying to be a saint. I do…
