Gentle Accountability for Liturgical Living
|
Hello! The Catholic Church has so much to offer us in Her feasts and fasts. There are so many to choose from, that sometimes it can be overwhelming to remember them and know how to celebrate them in a simple but meaningful way. Sometimes, those Catholic Feast Days just creep up on us and we barely remember a Holy Day is coming up! Today, I am offering you my new, free Liturgical Living Alerts. These emails will be low pressure accountability for each other to live out our beautiful Catholic Faith in our domestic churches. Let's pray, fast, and celebrate together! This is a new, optional email series in addition to my weekly emails. These emails will include:
Upcoming Alerts The first alert will arrive tomorrow (August 11th) to help you prepare for the Feast of the Assumption this Friday. This week, we will also prepare for St. Michael's Lent. This month's novena will be a novena to St. Monica (starts August 18th) for our family and friends who have fallen away from the Faith. I also have a Hallowtide Challenge for October and November that I am so excited about! If you would like gentle accountability for Liturgical Living, please join me!
I hope you will join me, and I hope you have a restful and joyful day in the Lord! To Jesus through Mary, Alexandra |

Matthew 25:33 states: He will place the sheep on his right, and the goats on his left. How do we make sure that we get to be the "sheep on his right" ?? The answer is the works of mercy, and we want our...
Hello! This is the fourth post of a series entitled “Teaching the Catholic Faith at Home Series.” Find the rest of the series here. Read the whole post for today here. When I walk into my home, I want to be reminded of Christ's presence there. I want my family and all guests who enter to be reminded of His love and presence. This is what making the home a Domestic Church means to me. The Catechism of the Catholic Church has an entire section entitled “The Domestic Church” starting with...
Hello! This is the third post of a series entitled “Teaching the Catholic Faith at Home Series.” Find the rest of the series here. Read the whole post for today here. Have you caught on that teaching the faith isn't about quizzes, textbooks, and workbooks? It's so much better and so much more! (Although, those things can come in handy when you want to acquire specific knowledge about the faith.) Living the faith IS teaching the faith! One of the most important ways to care for your family...
