SO. Remember that yesterday I was going to go to bed at a reasonable hour? I DIDN’T. I’m an adult. I can make decisions like this. BESIDES, I got a phone call. (The gifs might load slow…if you have a slow internets connection). Phone call from: Father Pio Maria. Cue all that is good inContinueContinue reading “A call from Fr. Pio Maria–expressed in gifs”

My personal 15 Triduum favorites
This year I visited with friends and parted with, “Merry Triduum!” because I wasn’t sure of the correct greeting. But then a different friend wished me an “Epic Triduum” which fits better, doesn’t it? I didn’t take pictures of the events on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes it’s just better to be present than to rushContinueContinue reading “My personal 15 Triduum favorites”
Holy Thursday
When I knelt today at mass, the mass of the Last Supper, I thought about all the people I’ve been graced to meet: the dusty children of El Salvador, the homeless of Detroit, the little crowd from Colorado, those I’ve met on World Youth Days and through my sibs and through the entire faith community.ContinueContinue reading “Holy Thursday”
Holy week time
It could be that maybe I didn’t transition well into talking and what not, but there are so many things that need to be done–and all of them good and worthy things, you know? In the next few days I need to… call the vet for the guinea pig (don’t worry, routine things) make butterContinueContinue reading “Holy week time”
Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels
Once, when I was little and sharing the room with Christine (dewd, some things don’t change), she was not falling asleep and I could tell, so being the older/ wiser sister that I was/ am, I asked, “Christine what’s the matter?” She was like, “I don’t understand it! I know that God created everything, butContinueContinue reading “Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels”
That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me
So, I started writing this on the feast of St. Joseph, but it ended up being too long. So, I’ve split it into a few posts to avoid TL;DR. Enjoy. The theme of this post is mustard yellow. Mustard yellow is different from the bright, lemon yellow or the straight Crayola variety; mustard yellow isContinueContinue reading “That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me”
The most blest among women
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. In simpler terms: it’s the day we celebrate when the angel appeared to Mary and Mary gave her “yes.” In even simpler terms: 9 months prior to Christmas. The church knows what’s up, even though you might need to ask your mom. All I have to share isContinueContinue reading “The most blest among women”
St. Joseph is the man
I was going to write a blog post yesterday. March 19, Feast of St. Joseph. I had it outlined in my head, ready to roll. And then when I started my car the RPM gauge started jumping around/ the vehicle was accelerating without my assistance/ weird noises and I made the decision to leave myContinueContinue reading “St. Joseph is the man”
Flying solo. Or wherein I attempt to answer “why I’m still single”
Oh hello, Let’s start typing and see where this goes. I write this with many feels happening here behind the scenes (/screens, heh) and full realization that some people who read this know me in (gasp!) real life, too, and now they’ll know more secret things about me…so this is what I’m navigating. But, IContinueContinue reading “Flying solo. Or wherein I attempt to answer “why I’m still single””
