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”

My longest-range plans at the moment: New Year’s Eve

Important video to start this conversation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSq1cez_flQ YOU’VE BEEN ASKED. And by two of the cutest cats around, I might add. And one had a ukelele. I care about you guys, is what I’m saying. Anyway, the question that remains is: WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE? Things I printed today: Registration form. OnContinueContinue reading “My longest-range plans at the moment: New Year’s Eve”

St. Therese, on her feast day

Back in January I sat on a chair and Father Pio Maria sat on a couch and talked to me about my life. We’ve been doing this every January for the past few years, and it’s always a treasured time for me. He gave me a bunch of things to do to improve in holiness,ContinueContinue reading “St. Therese, on her feast day”

Stuff I’ve been working on

Here is a picture of Paul doing garbage stuff. This morning he took the trash out and this afternoon he took it back. No one asked. Bam. Adulthood. Thanks, Paw. Paul and I are the only normal-job ones in the Casa. My dad kind of counts, but he also kind of doesn’t considering he earns,ContinueContinue reading “Stuff I’ve been working on”

A list of things that are beautiful. By me.

I’m admittedly the only person on the internet who isn’t like, “Hooray, fall!!11! I love sweaters!!” because, while I respect your love of sweaters, I REALLY LIKE SLEEVELESS TANKS. I love going outside barefoot. I love feeling sunlight warm my skin. I love simple life and simple living. Summmmahtiiiime and the living in eaaasy! But,ContinueContinue reading “A list of things that are beautiful. By me.”

Sacred Triduum. Easter. Easter. Easter.

It is fair to say that Easter is my favorite. It’s my favorite holiday, it’s my favorite teaching, it’s my favorite story. I think I’m going to explode from excitement. 🙂 Holy Week is an immersion into the full human experience on the deepest levels: betrayal, sorrow, suffering…but then inexpressible hope and joy. Oh, andContinueContinue reading “Sacred Triduum. Easter. Easter. Easter.”

Wherein Kiwi the guinea pig was claimed as a child of the light

We have a family guinea pig whom we love so much it is incomprehensible. Her name is “Kiwi,” because she is black and brown like a kiwi-bird or a kiwifruit. She also has cannibalistic tendencies and occasionally eats kiwifruit. Anyway! This weekend we had some friends over. The “friends” all happened to be priests orContinueContinue reading “Wherein Kiwi the guinea pig was claimed as a child of the light”

More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)

It needs to be known that I went to upload my pictures from retreat and was surprised to find this happy face staring at me. Apparently Brother Thomas found my camera and snapped this beauty before returning my camera to its rightful owner. Baha! ANYWAY. Yesterday I wrote about Franciscan fashion and our friend Fr.ContinueContinue reading “More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)”

What HE Wore Wednesday–Part I (Father Pio)

May I just sit here and share the cutest story ever? Thanks. Don’t mind if I do. Have you been wondering where I’ve been? Sorry I didn’t give a heads-up (irresponsible blog ownership) but I WAS ON RETREAT. And it was beautiful, amazing, inspiring, and refreshing. Yes yes yesity yes. Some of you have alreadyContinueContinue reading “What HE Wore Wednesday–Part I (Father Pio)”
