Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Welcome to our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions for October Saints, the Monthly Devotion of the Rosary, and organized and prayerful Ordinary Time!
October is my favorite month for Saints with my favorites St. Therese and St. John Paul II. See the time we stood up the Pope
We’re so excited to announce the launch of the NEW CATHLETICS playing cards!
We released the original edition in 2005, and we are proud to say that the entire deck has been fully redesigned and top-quality-printed!
It’s yet another new season of motherhood for me!
My eldest daughter Emily just got married a few days ago! My next daughter Kelly gets married next summer! My eldest son, Joseph is a brand-new engineering grad, my youngest daughter Bridget has just started University and the youngest of my five kids, Adam, just started high school!
St. Benedict recommended a balanced lifestyle of work and prayer, and living simply. He insisted that we should pray as we begin to work and as we work, with humility and reverence.
From various writings of St. Benedict on prayer, I think the most unique and specific approach to prayer was his recommended practice of prayer and work simultaneously. St. Benedict steered away from compartmentalizing these two fundamental aspects and practices so that one did not interrupt the other, and by consistently praying during work, study, rest, and while serving others, one could truly pray unceasingly.
We’ve put together a quick summary of Catholic Crafts for August Saints and the Monthly Devotion of The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Summer is a great time for a little extra crafting…so we also present Equipping Catholic Families…for Summer with the Saints!
St Joseph is a silent figure in the Bible. All we know about St Joseph is that he was a righteous man (Matthew 1:18). He was empathetic, just and humble, graciously excusing Mary, even when he didn’t know or understand the truth of her conception of Jesus, with the Holy Spirit.
St. Augustine (354AD-430AD) was the son of St. Monica.
He spent many years living an immoral life, and renouncing Christianity. By the prayers of his mother and through the influence of St. Ambrose, he converted and became a theologian, philosopher, and the Bishop of Hippo, Roman North Africa.
This week, we’re celebrating our 30th Anniversary!
It’s been A Whole New World (yes, that was our first dance at the reception =) 30 years ago!
We’ve moved a couple of times, but settled in my home town 22 years ago.
The Tradition of reciting The Jesus Prayer is referenced as early as 270 AD, in monastic communities, and was first introduced and practiced by the Desert Fathers.
This simple prayer combines adoration of the Glory of God with humble recognition of our sin.
