Transitus Tiber

Life as a Catholic wife and mother

Moving, Moving

Posting is going to be light again, in that I am moving where I live. Granted I don’t have too much stuff; but between that and classes and work, it’s going to be interesting. I am aiming to start moving tomorrow night (I’m moving within residence halls, so that’s not too bad) and hopefully should [...]

Oblation Station

Yet another step in the journey. I have been conversing with Fr. H from the monastery in Idaho the past couple of months. Obviously, the biggest issue with becoming an Oblate is transportation. While I can indeed drive, my driving abilities in the snow are non-existent and it would be rather hard for me to [...]

On Papa Benedict

I’ve not wanted to comment on the situation with Pope Benedict, mainly because there is much more worthwhile coverage out there in the St. Blog’s parish. But I do support the Pope, and not because of sheep-like brainwashing that makes people squirm; but rather because he has a spine, and said what needed to be [...]

Happy Feast Day, St. Joe of Cupertino!

Spotted this from MyCatholic.com… Clearly, what God wants above all is our will which we received as a free gift from God in creation and possess as though our own. When a man trains himself to acts of virtue, it is with the help of grace from God from whom all good things come that [...]

Crux sacra sit mihi lux! Nunquam draco sit mihi dux!

I heard back from Mystery Community X, with some good news. In that, I basically have all the information that I need but I will still receive a brochure from them, that a particular thing I’ve been doing is very good already; and that they are holding a retreat in a couple months for people [...]

Make Your Day a Prayer

Today was my parish’s retreat for the Religious Education teachers. It was a fantastic retreat, led by trusty Fr. L. We addressed all sorts of issues and discussed things such as the difference between teaching faith and teaching things like history. We discussed the three aspects of Christian life – poverty, chastity, and obedience and [...]

Regarding Mystery Community X

I promise I will tell you who it is. I can’t remember if I said when I would tell you, but here’s a nice reminder regardless – I’ll tell when I petition to be a Novice. Ideally I wanted to wait until I had petitioned and (God-willing) had been accepted as a Novice. But even [...]

School related disappearance

I am entirely not dead. My appointment with Fr. L went very well. I have a synopsis written, but will post it up tomorrow. One of the things that I talked to him about were the Third Orders and we discussed whether or not there is a calling. While he didn’t come out and say [...]

Appointment Goodness

After about three weeks of planning and a rescheduling, I finally get to see Fr. L about some things that have been getting ahold of me and my spiritual life recently. Unfortunately, I won’t have much time with him (thanks to school things) so I’m praying that the time is well spent. I’m fairly sure [...]

Wedded Bliss

On September 4th, 1971; my parents were joined in matrimony. Thirty-five years later, three kids (one angel), approximately three houses, who knows how many cars, one washer and dryer, one fish, three dogs, one camper, many hunting seasons, gout, a slipped back disc, Parkinson’s, the military, random part-time jobs, sketchy neighborhoods, a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air [...]
