HALLOWEEN IS CATHOLIC ? Yup
I raised my nine children in the shadow of other dedicated Catholic mothers, mostly homeschoolers, who thought Halloween was evil, dedicated to witches.

More importantly, I felt…… Continue reading HALLOWEEN IS CATHOLIC ? Yup

St. Francis of Assisi is the most famous, joyful saint. Look at our pope, whose name sake is…… Continue reading Holy Laughter
Lawn Chair Catechism: Openness
Session 8: The Third Threshold: Openness When I speak with someone who is curious about the faith, I realize my revelations about the spiritual life in the Mystical Body of Christ are like speaking about a foreign country.

Lawn Chair Catechism, Session 5: Grace and the Great Quest
In your own faith: It can be hard to settle our minds on the idea of “cooperating with grace”. How would you explain the Catholic doctrine on salvation to others? The first answer that pops into my mind comes originally from St Theresa of Avila. Since I have carried this explanation within me for more…… Continue reading Lawn Chair Catechism, Session 5: Grace and the Great Quest

Are You Stealing Jesus’s Job? I Do!
I am approaching Easter Triduum with joy this year, celebrating His death with the Resurrection in mind because I cannot separate the two anymore. If the priest can sing “Oh happy fault” in reference to The Fall, we should all sing, just as St. Paul surely did, “Oh happy Death”. “O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam which gained for…… Continue reading Are You Stealing Jesus’s Job?
