What I Wore Wednesday

I wore cute shoes too, I promise, the ones with the bows on the toes like Snow White. But, this was after a lunch time excursion, so no heels at the moment for me. Oh would ya look at that: I’m wearing the exact same skirt I wore last time I posted something like this.ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

A call from Fr. Pio Maria–expressed in gifs

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”

Getting back in the swingity swing

Hey. Should I have posted something yesterday? Of course. But, instead, we were delayed. We were making Easter eggs, you see. And it was beautiful: lots of people, lots of dye, lots of fire hazards because: no school like the old school. And now, here were are, in Holy Week, my favorite week. There areContinueContinue reading “Getting back in the swingity swing”

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”

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”
