Maybe it’s because I’ve been inspired by True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin or just who knows, but while preparing to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist on Saturday, that I would do something extra for Him each week. He picks, I do it. By the end of the day, I already had received [...]

I’m almost finished with The Benedictine Handbook. It’s an incredible resource, and the essays remind me of the essays found in Essential Monastic Wisdom by Fr. Hugh Feiss (albeit slightly different, of course). I can understand why John appreciates this book. There are a few sections that really spoke to me, that require further [...] This week has been a week of purifying. Appropriate enough, considering the Liturgical Season. Things have been highly emotional around here, as I’ve been forced to deal with things that are about 20 years old now. While it’s healthy and I know it, it’s still a rough road to walk. I’m thrilled for [...] Had a bit of am emotional morning this morning, so I decided to pick Greg up from work at noon and go to Mass with him and Elise. Today is the Feast of the Annunciation, which is ROCKING AWESOME. The Communion meditation was of course, Our Lady’s response to Archangel Gabriel’s announcement: “Behold, I [...] I had a wonderful post typed up (well, I think it was wonderful); then I hit the wrong button on my browser and away it went. That will teach me to type directly into the updater and not in a document or something like that. I also need to figure out why the “autosave” [...] … of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict, that is. Reader Don asked me why I had gone with Doyle’s translation as opposed to Fry’s translation when purchasing a copy of the Holy Rule a ways back. A good question.

I bind to myself today The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ [...] Despite my rather whiny last post, my head has not exploded nor have my sinuses devoured my head. In fact, I’m feeling tons better. Still having sinus problems, but the headache is gone. Thanks, God. I did have to go have an awkward appointment on Friday, as Thursday I discovered a red, tender [...] I appear to have some sort of crazy head cold + sinus issues as of late. The sinus headaches are the worst – so intense they make my teeth (teefers) hurt. I’m not concerned with Elise – she’s showing no signs of a head cold or anything like that (go breastfeeding!). Either way, I [...] Last night, when Greg and I were doing a status check of Elise’s one tooth (or, in sugary terms, toofer), we noticed a second sliver of white – her second bottom tooth. That puts her teething check at her two bottom teeth currently erupting. Thank God, Elise got her Daddy’s tough gene, because the [...] |
