I’ve been thinking about things and mulling over some of my go-to prayers and stories and saints as I move forward in my life a bit. (Hopefully. God, please, let’s be moving forward?) This prayer is one of my favorites, ascribed to St. Brendan the Navigator, a man who lived in Ireland from 484-577. AsContinueContinue reading “And then God asks us to do the terrifying”

Year of Faith Catholicism to the max. Prepare to be overwhelmed.
Two Sundays ago I attended mass at the large stone-and-marble Shrine across the city from my house. I went there because I honestly thought the Year of Faith ended this week instead of a few days later still, and I needed to fit in my favorite indulgence-option of the entire Year-of-Faith deal: renewing of yourContinueContinue reading “Year of Faith Catholicism to the max.

Many times when I’m in the chapel, I’m not “praying”
“Praying” in quotes in the title. So, I like hanging out in the chapel. I think you’re supposed to go there to pray. And I believe that most people are praying while they’re there. I was taught that praying is “talking with God” and I really like praying, actually. But I’ve notice something about myContinueContinue reading “Many times when I’m in the chapel, I’m not “praying””
July 28–PRAY FOR ALL OF US
Pray for safety, protection, and love. ❤ See you soon! XOXOXOOXXOXO!
July 27–Last but not least, our boy Carl
It’s fair to say that Carl is the celebrity of the group. One of my pilgrim’s told me, “I feel like he’s way cooler than us. I still hold him on the Socceresque pedestal.” Another pilgrim was like, “I’m so glad he’s coming; I LOVE Carl.” So! Pray for this one…the beloved one.
July 26–Mi padre
This is my dad. Just pray that he makes it. And that I make it. And that everyone makes it.
July 24–Mezies
You know me, guys. Pray for me. You know I’ll appreciate it.
July 23–Paulie Waulie Doodle could use your prayers
Want to know what I love about having Paul along? We sing songs together. All the time. Sometimes we play a game called, “Sing as much of a Broadway Musical together that we can remember.” Which entails us starting at the first song and getting as far as we can. We switch parts and doContinueContinue reading “July 23–Paulie Waulie Doodle could use your prayers”
July 22-Pray for my girl Jess
I probably wouldn’t have made it without this one. This is Jessica. She is a coworker of mine, soft-spoken and sweet. One day we were working and I started talking about this trip I was going to take in summer of 2013 to the Camino de Santiago. “Here,” I said, “I’ll forward you my groupContinueContinue reading “July 22-Pray for my girl Jess”
July 21–Prayers for beebee Graham-slam
This is Graham. My sibs met him playing soccer, and then we realized he was a neighbor and they became closer friends. Sometimes he talks smack to me, but I know he’s kidding. If he ever finds an animal, he tries to rescue it. Squirrels, birds, you name it…he’s picked it up (rabies, man!) andContinueContinue reading “July 21–Prayers for beebee Graham-slam”
