I sat two rows behind the front row today, Good Friday. The front row had a hand-written sign on the end “Reserved for the handicapped.” Eventually three people sat in that row: a man named Robert, a man with a slow mind and dirty clothing but a kind smile and greeting when he speaks; aContinueContinue reading “Sacred Triduum: Good Friday”

Sacred Triduum: A Holy Thursday
This week commemorates the most beautiful week–the week Jesus died for humanity. We try to honor this. We fail, but we try. We pull together all that we know to be beautiful–candles and song and community and centuries-old prayer and symbol and silence. We fall short of adoring this mystery, but we are the peopleContinueContinue reading “Sacred Triduum: A Holy Thursday”
Holy Week–and we’re all wiggly-exciting
I was kneeling on the floor of a hotel last Saturday, celebrating mass with a group of other Catholic young adults from across the state and Bishop Cepeda when it hit me–it’s Holy Week! Really and truly! Guys, this is such a special week for us Christians, but this is one week I especially loveContinueContinue reading “Holy Week–and we’re all wiggly-exciting”
How well do you know Pope Francis?
Want to take a quiz about our new Holy Father?? I know you do. It’s intensely possible that I wrote some of the harder questions. MUAHAHAHAH.
Wherein the beauty of John Blase amazes me
EVERYONE. I found these poems on the interwebs today…and they are blowing my mind. I confess that I did not write them–they were written and blogged by a man named John Blase and you should visit his blog here so that your mind can be stretched with truth and beauty. And, because you might notContinueContinue reading “Wherein the beauty of John Blase amazes me”
What I Wore Wednesday
Hey all! Wednesday again, and another cold one. Therefore: MORE LAYERS! I was thinking about this today. I’m pretty sure I pick out my winter clothes by selecting a general color scheme and going all-out from there. For instance, today’s colors were “pink” and “brown.” Therefore: pink tights (striped! I’ve had these since I wasContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Top Three Photogenic Cardinals in the Current Conclave
I begin by stating: I realize that this is kind of irreverant. I then state: I believe that the Holy Spirit will guide the Church in selecting a new and godly leader. Alrighty then. Now that that’s out of the way: it’s possible that I was told to compile images of the twelve “favored” CardinalsContinueContinue reading “Top Three Photogenic Cardinals in the Current Conclave”
