I needed candles. Yes, I NEEDED them!

Jill’s candle company is called Contemplative Candles @contemplativecandles

Jill’s candle company if featured in the @catholicsonline Cozy Christmas Catalog!!!

I definitely bought myself a gift… but it’s for the whole family!

Our homes are domestic churches ⛪️

I think the big Catholic influencers call it liturgical living ;)

“I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to

“I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to!”

I hear this every year when I’m planning the Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat.

And every year I think…” I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this again next year.”

Each year- each day- is a gift.
Getting to plan a retreat for women that truly serves their minds, their souls and their hearts is truly a gift.
But the truth is, I never know if I’ll be given this gift again.

Jesus reminds us all in the Gospels that we all really don’t know what will happen in the future.
I don’t know what next year will bring…

But I do know that when women attend a Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat for a day, they say things like

“I needed this”
“I would have paid you more”
“It’s like Christmas for Moms”

I understand life is busy. I feel strongly that the busyness is a distraction from the stillness Our Lord is calling us to.

If you really can’t attend this year’s Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat, may I make a suggestion?

Get out your calendar and schedule a day to go to confession,
A day to go to Mass that is not Sunday,
A day to get together with someone else to pray the Rosary out loud and a day to spend time with another woman that needs your prayers.

All of these things are available on November 15th.
There’s still time to register!

If you want to join us this year, comment “Register “ and I’ll send you the details.

If you definitely can’t make it, drop a prayer intention in the comments- or message me- and we will bring your intentions with us!

“We should start our own Rosary group” is what

“We should start our own Rosary group” is what my friend here, Nancy, suggested over two decades ago.

We were at her Mom’s friend’s house, where generations of women and their children had gathered for the Rosary. Apparently this was something they had done together for years.

I was so grateful Nancy suggested this! I had always wanted friends to pray with.
And so we started… 4 young women with different intentions and heartaches. 4 young women who had hope that prayers do get answered.

We often invited other friends too.
Someone would bring wine. Someone would bring food. Often it was chocolate.

Years past. Prayers have been answered.
Unexpected crosses have been carried.
This prayer group was a light in the darkness for me.

Because Nancy suggested we start a Rosary group, prayer wine Chocolate came to be…

Don’t hesitate to turn your GNO into a Rosary night.
We highly recommend it.

Last night we attended a BEAUTIFUL event for Martin Saints Classical High School @msc_highschool

I’m so grateful that this joyfully Catholic HS exists and is growing and thriving.

I also want to thank @leah.darrow for posting about @projectrunway a few years ago! I had never heard of this business before and they saved my day yesterday! I still had no idea what I was going to wear to this formal event an hour before leaving… and this dress showed up right on time!

Catholic influencers are necessary and important. Catholics sharing their faith online AND sharing life hacks are helpful and truly serve!
Thank you Leah! Thank you @msc_highschool !
Thanks @projectrunway !

Go to a place where you can be still.
Go to a church that is surrounded with art that tells the story of salvation.
Let Jesus see you where He is physically present in the Eucharist.
Know Jesus, know peace…

There is a hymn called Hosea and it starts like this:
Come back to me, with all your heart; Don’t let fear keep us apart…

God bless you!!!

I don’t believe in accidents.
I was thinking about posting this prayer and I got a call from “Peoria, Illinois “.
For those of you wondering why that means anything… that where Archbishop Fulton Sheen grew up. Fulton Sheen wrote this prayer!

I never answer calls from random places but I couldn’t help it. I answered it.

I said hello… and heard nothing.
I waited… still nothing.
No voice. No recording. No dial tone.

So I hung up and now I’m posting this.

Type MIRACLE OR PRAYER in the comments and I’ll send you the link for the download.

The prayer takes less than 30 seconds to pray.

3 year olds can memorize.

I’ve witnessed it save lives! Yes, plural… LIVES!

Thank you for sharing your photo Nelly!! @nellysosarmz @elarbolmenta

This is 50.
So many thoughts I could share… but for now, here are some pictures of my family… and a guest appearance of one amazing friend, the great @dr.monique.ruberu :) AND The Golden Girls theme song because it reminds me of old ladies, laughter and great friendships.
The greatest gifts are the people God has put in your life.
