Leaving a Legacy of Faith

November 9, 2022 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

“What legacy of faith

do you hope to leave in this world?”

My go-to devotion is the Cloak of St Joseph and I prefer good deed bead bracelets or other one-decade rosary tools to pray my rosary.

I’ve been forever changed by a few experiences with relics from two of my favorite saints, St. John Paul II and St. Padre Pio. However, I think I’d like to be remembered for two particular practices that have enhanced my personal prayer but may not be recognized as official Catholic traditions or devotions (yet).

Review: The Illustrated Bible for Children by Magnificat/Ignatius Press

May 28, 2022 by Monica McConkey 1 Comment

I am so excited to review this NEW Illustrated Bible for Children by the Magnificat division of Ignatius Press. It’s beautifully illustrated with relatively simple and very sweet illustrations in a comic book format for kids 7 years old and up. The font is a nice size with a combination of CAPS for narration and upper and lower case for dialogue. The people are smiley cartoon (my categorization) in gentle and friendly settings, color and formatting.

More FAITH at Home

May 22, 2022 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Spring has SPRUNG and we’re already starting to look toward SUMMER!

I don’t know about you, but in the hectic pace of just everyday, Ordinary Time, with kids’ school and extra-curricular, health issues, family celebrations and events, I often feel guilty that my own prayer life is not so focused and our family prayer can meander away…
