Books, hurrah!
Whoooo! I finally went to the public library today and stocked up on some reading material for the next three weeks: From the Angel’s Blackboard: The Best of Fulton J. Sheen – a collection of Archbishop Sheen’s works on various things like living a Christian life, child-rearing, teenagers and whatnot Triumph: The Power and the [...]
My Three Dads
It’s Father’s Day over here, so I figured it would be entirely appropriate to reflect on the three Dads that I have. My first Dad is obviously … Dad. My Dad has been my number one cheerleader, regardless of what I do (as long as it’s legal, naturally). He has been there when other people [...]
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on the Incarnation
Last night, Greg and I were hanging out and watching EWTN when an old episode of “Life is Worth Living” came on. I love archbishop Fulton Sheen. I love his no nonsense approach to everything but his whole personality was one of warmth and love. Watching the old “Life is Worth Living” reruns and “Mother [...]
Social Networking for World Youth Day … and Beyond!
If anyone is looking for a good alternative with regards to social networking (especially for people heading to World Youth Day), try xt3.com. For people like me who lack the ability to go to World Youth Day, you can still join the site and get in on some of the fun. I’m on there, if [...]
Benedictine Virtues: Prayer
The motto of the Benedictines is “Ora et Labora”, or in English; “Pray and Work”. Prayer is the communication between God and His creation. Prayer enables us to enter into a communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; it reminds us of our eternal destiny, it allows us to intercede for each other and [...]
I’m here, really
Vacation Bible School started this week. I never realized how exhausted I would feel at the end of three hours. I’m in charge of crafts with second and third graders, which is awesome because I’m so used to the pre-schoolers when I taught RE. The most awesome difference is that the 2nd and 3rd graders [...]
Weathering the Storm
Yesterday’s Oblation was short and sweet but oh so awesome. It’s hard to believe that the Novitiate is over for me, and that I’m actually an Oblate. I read my promise to give my life over to God and signed it on the Altar of the Lord. This is a lifetime commitment, and only with [...]
Oblation Day
Today is the day of my final Oblation. Deo gratias! I like to think I am ‘ready’ in the sense that I have my Oblation document typed and I know how the Rite will go and whatnot. I know that I am ready to continue on this journey, that Oblation – like my RCIA classes [...]
An Unexpected Visit to the Hospital (may be TMI)
Today was too long of a day – it rained all day long and Greg and I spent a good part of it being in the hospital. Without getting into the TMI details, I had a fluid gush around lunchtime. I called the hospital and they had me come in to be checked out. Elise [...]
An Anniversary
Today is the anniversary of the dedication of my Cathedral church. I’m unsure which anniversary but that’s a moot point. Monsignor H (filling in for the standard Monsignor at the noon Mass today) reflected on the Cathedral as a House of God and what our responsibilities are to the government. He also mentioned today’s martyrs [...]
