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”

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”

Love and priests and the look of love
I’ve written about priests before, I know and I know, but I’m here to briefly do it again. By an oversight on my part I went to mass twice on Monday–once by blessed force-of-habit at noon time, and then again in the evening because some dear folks asked me to lead Prayers of the FaithfulContinueContinue reading “Love and priests and the look of love”
What my ashes mean this year (A What I Wore Wednesday faux-post)
Today I sport my Ashes. You could read a million internet things about what these mean, and they probably mean many different things to many different people. And God is good and personal like that, so no worries. What to mine mean this year? This morning I sang the song “Ashes” in the shower asContinueContinue reading “What my ashes mean this year (A What I Wore Wednesday faux-post)”

A while back someone brought up Ephesians 5 with me. Be my guest, guess which part? You probs guessed right. TheContinueContinue reading “Love doesn’t make sense to me, either”
On travelling to Bethlehem
I’ve never been to the Holy Land But I’ve been to other lands, holy to me. I didn’t go because I was required by order (Unless you count the order of Whispers-in-my-heart). I cannot say I’ve shared their experience But, the human experience is full of comparable moments, isn’t it? It has always struck me:ContinueContinue reading “On travelling to Bethlehem”
Three super short reflections by me. Today.
Hi! Can I just spit out reflections rapid-fire without necessarily providing any linking thoughts or points? Yes? Good. Here we go, Flo. First, here’s a reflection from that online retreat I’m doing: “In this scene [where Mary visits Elizabeth], two peasant women, both pregnant, greet each other. Everything about it suggests smallness and obscurity. WhatContinueContinue reading “Three super short reflections by me. Today.”
