Surprised my friend Kerry for her 40th, got some spiritual direction and took my daughter for a tour of the University of Ottawa …then drove the 4.5 hours home before a threatening migraine could give me its’ worst… last weekend.

First Reconciliation Prep: Peek Sheets Printable!
November 13, 2013 by 1 Comment
When you really stop to think about it…our Sacrament of Reconciliation is incredible!! Where else can we hand over our burdens and struggles and receive complete ABSOLUTION; the very MERCY of JESUS poured over our bruised and battered little souls. We celebrate Baptism with a beautiful flowy baby dress, a beautiful anointing and prayers at the Church …and by Holy Communion, those little babies are all dressed up in their suits and white dresses and veils, with no shortage of photo ops, gifts and cake. Both of these Sacraments are MONUMENTAL, but sometimes a quiet little evening of First Reconciliation, where kids line up for their one-to-one talk with the priest… gets a little overlooked.

I have decided that rather than wondering if I need to stick to more of a schedule for posting at Equipping Catholic Families, I’m going to jump into a few of the well-known scheduled and linked posts, like Small Success Thursdays at CatholicMom.com and 7 Quick Takes Friday over at ConversionDiary.com and see which one I like best…and how much scheduled posting I can possibly manage week after week.

Last week was a big week, with the launch of our TWO NEW Saint Scripts Cathletics Craft Kits!
42 Saints in all, presented with brand new Kelly Comics illustrations, Saint stats and brief bios.
There is so much to tell you about these kits, and I knew I couldn’t tell you everything in my launch post last week.
not too early to plan your Jesse Tree!

I have to admit…I have never created, assembled or purchased a Jesse Tree set of ornaments, but I know that it’s an awesome tradition to refocus Advent away from the Santa epidemic. Santa is nice and all, but we prefer to keep the focus on the birth of Jesus… and keep Him the reason we exchange presents.
