Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve shared here. I never meant to NOT blog for so long but life took some very unexpected twists and turns. My husband has been very sick, and other things have happened. Therefore, there were things that had to be pushed to the back burner and sharing here was one of those things. (…Continue Reading…)
You see, I love going to confession. Besides the Eucharist, Confession is my favorite sacrament. (Crazy, I know!) Don’t get me wrong, I still get nervous sometimes when I go to confession. I sometimes think I don’t have anything to say. And yes, I often confess the same things over again. But that’s okay!…Read More…

What is the purpose of the Solemnity?…(continue reading)
In the past, I was overzealous with my Advent plans. I would make all sorts of resolutions and added all these prayers and activities; but, instead of making Advent meaningful for me, they left me drained or guilty for not doing all the things I had planned to do. Indeed, these activities became just one more thing to be done before Christmas…Continue Reading…
I am so excited! Today marks the first day of the Saint Andrew Christmas novena! Today is the feast of Saint Andrew, a wonderful and powerful saint. He was a great Apostle and missionary of the Lord. He is mentioned several times in the gospel….Continue reading….
