Triduum Planning
Hello Friends! Thank you for the well-wishes for my trip to Baltimore. I had such a wonderful time with Kristin, and I’m hoping to devote a whole post to the amazing things that the Church she works for is doing to bring back lapsed Catholics and glorify God! Meanwhile, it’s Holy Week! Woah, when did … Continue reading »
Caution: Light Blogging Ahead
Friends, I am going to be gone this weekend. I’m going to visit my dear friend and sister in Christ Kristin this weekend in Baltimore! She and I met in college, and I have not seen her since I graduated…almost four years ago! Woah. I’m so excited to see her and have some girl-time; but … Continue reading »
Resquiat In Pacem
“The following prayer was composed by Bishop Ken Untener of Saginaw, drafted for a homily by Cardinal John Dearden in Nov. 1979 for a celebration of departed priests. As a reflection on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Bishop Romero, Bishop Untener included in a reflection book a passage titled “The mystery of the Romero … Continue reading »
Empty-handed and duped: the pro-life Democrat
I have been a Democrat for as long as I can remember. I proudly registered as a Dem when I turned 18 so I could vote in the next primary election. I was an enthusiastic supporter of John Kerry in 2004. Then I became authentically pro-life, and it’s been an increasing struggle ever since. I … Continue reading »
When we finally will see…
We had a wonderful time at the marriage and family conference, and I have a post in the works (in my brain) based on the amazing keynote speech from Bishop Kevin Rhodes ( who has recently moved from Harrisburg, PA to South Bend-Fort Wayne). But until then, I just wanted to post something somewhat unrelated … Continue reading »

It’s being held at ND, and Bishop Rhodes will be giving an address (he used to be at the Mount!) … Continue reading »
Fresh Lemons — Recipe!
We got a fresh lemon in our farm delivery last week, so I decided to make Lemon-Poppy Seed muffins. I know it’s Lent, but technically, I don’t think muffins count as sweets because they’re eaten for breakfast and not dessert. Now if you’re making chocolate-chip-snickers bar muffins, that might be a different story. Lemon-poppy seed … Continue reading »
St. Patrick’s Day Poem!
This poem is from a wonderful Irish poet by the name of Eavan Boland. It is so short, but yet so evocative. It pulls some deep empathy from me from its few words of famine, oppression, and self-sacrifice. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Read it and go cry over a pint of Guiness. Quarantine – Eavan Boland … Continue reading »
Chaput: Bad Bill, Bad Law
I try not to post things which are directly political here, because that’s not really the point of this blog, but every once in a while, something important enough to mention comes along, and I have to add my 2c. I just read an article this morning by Archbishop Chaput of Denver, talking about the … Continue reading »
