Leaving a Legacy of Faith

“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).

BE the Prompt to Pray

As a mom of three young adults, my Mom-responsibilities are evolving as they face big decisions.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You

The monthly devotion of June honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Delving into this devotion, we reflect on the profound love Jesus has for each one of us. While the Devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is classic and traditional, the Divine Mercy of Jesus devotion is somewhat new, revealed to St Faustina in 1931.
