Happy Memorial of Blessed Pope John Paul II

Please take a moment to read the late Holy Father's words on the Dignity and Vocation of Women.  If I would have read this in college, I would have understood what it means to be a woman and the great gifts and blessings that accompany it.  Instead it took much heart ache and tears to bring me to look for answers provided here.  Bl. Pope John Paul II ,pray for us!

Authentic Love

Take a listen to Fr. Matt McGinness' homily from last weekend. Some of the most compassionate words about divorce I have ever heard from the pulpit. He gives a great summary of authentic love.

Happy Feast of the Guardian Angels!

Today is the feast of the Guardian Angels. When ever my boys go to their dad's for parenting time, I beg God to send a legion of Angels to protect them in mind, body and spirit from all evil. They are a powerful gift from God. Ask for their intercession, to be able to hear their guidance and follow it!  

Learn a bit about them here or here or here.

Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us!
