Transitus Tiber

Life as a Catholic wife and mother

A Stealthy Blessing

Today Greg and I went to Mass with his parents. As usual, it was an incredible Mass and Monsignor gave a wonderful, thought-provoking, convicting homily. Granted, he always does; but tonight’s was one of his best, I think. The best part of Mass though was after Monsignor gave me Christ Jesus in the Eucharist, he [...]

God is providing

Greg and I are all moved in to the bedroom area of our apartment. I am so excited and grateful to be finished with the temporary housing. Our new bed is incredibly comfortable – even Elise seems to like it: she’s not as active in the nights (but plenty active in the daytime). Greg is [...]

Moving … again

Greg and I are moving (again). This time, from the temporary housing to the apartment! Deo gratias! The bedroom is finished so we’ve been moving our stuff into it. We also have an actual bed (!!!!!) – we are quite excited by this. The bathroom/laundry area still needs to be finished as does our kitchen; [...]

Third Trimester

It’s hard to believe that by most counts, yesterday was the beginning of the third trimester. It seems like some aspects of this pregnancy has flown by, other times it’s crawled by. It’s hard to believe that my due date is in three months (whether or not we’ll get there or go beyond is out [...]

My Month with the Blessed Virgin – Part 2

(Part 1 can be found here). How does this relate to the one Hail Mary? That time of “Prayer of Quiet” was in the New and Improved Place, so I didn’t have access to daily Mass. I entirely believe that getting closer to His mama gets closer to Him. And it’s not like I was [...]

My Month with the Blessed Virgin – Part 1

(This post ended up being really long when I typed it up offline, so; I’m posting it in two parts to keep things from getting out of control). This May I made a resolution to work on my devotion to the Blessed Virgin. There has been a lot of interaction between her and myself, but [...]

I’m almost a Benedictine Oblate

I am quite happy to report that I have some good news concerning the Benedictine Oblates. The Oblate Director and I have found a good balance to be able to make me a full Oblate while being so far from the Community, but still including the Community in it. Since I can’t physically make it [...]

The Universal Church

Greg and I are settled into our temporary housing as best we can. Our apartment is getting closer to completion, at the very least we should be able to buy a new bed with our stimulus refund thingy and at least be doing everything but cooking in it. Luckily there is a full kitchen right [...]

The Scoop on Elise

Since graduation, Greg and I have settled nicely into our temporary abode until our apartment is finished. The biggest thing was obviously finding a good OB to take care of Elise and me. Last Tuesday was the intake with the nurse, which left me a little concerned. The nurse didn’t really seem to understand that [...]

*waves*

I will not even begin to recount the drama of getting my blog put back together. But, thanks to my cousin and hacking around 2 dabatases, it works. And all the entries, comments, and categories are here, as well. Deo gratias! As far as I know, everything works. That is, you should see this blog [...]
