Magnify 90 is a program that taps into this awesome book of daily devotions while challenging women to give up various attachments for a period of 90 days. The idea is that by living a simpler life with fewer distractions, we may delve deeper into our spiritual life with Scripture and Catholic Spiritual Reading, practicing the virtues we’re learning about and pursuing deeper prayer in our personal relationship with Jesus.
Equipping Catholic Families ….with New Year’s Resolutions
It’s that time of year again, our second chance to start the new year (the Liturgical Calendar began with Advent in 2019).These are the big four resolutions that I’m going to tackle (again) and I’ve included some resource, article and affiliate links that I’ve found helpful.
How Instagram helps me Prayer Journal
First of all, I apologize if I have included any of your original artwork in my photo collages. I have only included Instagram post screenshots that I absolutely LOVE and I hope that you will consider posting your Instagram handle in the comments, so that others will follow you as well. Be assured that I would never use anyone else’s original artwork in any products to be sold.
October Feast Day Fun!
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!
I think 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
NEW! Prayer Board Craft Kit!
At our Parish, we have a travel-size Our Lady of Fatima handed from family to family each day of the month, encouraging families to pray the Rosary together. It’s a great opportunity to prompt family prayer and draw parishioners together!
Equipping Catholic Families for June Saints, Solemnities and Sacraments!
Equipping Catholic Families for Sacrament Season!
Yesterday, Bridget received her Confirmation! We’re so proud of Bridget and the beautiful, talented and faith-filled young lady she is becoming!
She has been preparing all year through our Parish and watching the Chosen series* by Ascension Press throughout 10 evening sessions.
Equipping Catholic Families …to Pray
Equipping Catholic Families is very much a family apostolate and as our five kids one by one step into the teenage and young adult years, our family ministry seems to be maturing as well. We will continue to present #catholiccrafts featuring our Catholic Craft Kits, Quizzing Cards and Books while we recognize the changing needs of our own little family with our Catholic kids emerging into adulthood. While my kids still humor me for the most part as I pull from storage our Catholic crafts and heirlooms to celebrate the Seasons and Feast Days of the Liturgical Calendar, I recognize that these little Catholic crafts, practices and programs will likely lose precedence, except for a few little nostalgic tokens, at least until grandchildren become part of our family dynamic yippee, I can’t wait!
Back On Track for Lent with a Custom Lenten Prayer Journal!
Need a JUMP START for Lenten Prayer this year?
I have been prayer journaling again and I think some of our new tools in the Arma Dei Shoppe have been helping!
Prayer Journal Stamps
Over the past few weeks, we’ve added a significant number of Prayer Journal Stamps…so many that we now have 79 Journal, Saint, Rosary, Consecration, Signature and Accountability stamps in our Prayer Impressions Journal Stamp Shoppe!
Equipping Catholic Families with a NEW Hands-On Prayer-packed Craft Kit for LENT!
So, even though I have 50 Cathletics Craft Kits in my Arma Dei Shoppe, it’s hard to believe that I don’t actually have one craft kit dedicated to LENT! Well, that is, until NOW!
Hands-On Lenten Pack of Prayers
This craft kit focuses mainly on the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet and offers more inventive ways to get kids hands-on praying! Prayers are counted as beads are colored or laced up with a shoelace! Our Super Saints illustrations are kid-friendly and enticing and help to focus our prayers just a little bit more! Plus, they’re just fun to look at!
