Dancing in the Rain(ing Roses)

In one of Prayer Wine Chocolate's very first posts, Raining Roses, I shared my sincere belief that if you ask them, Saints will pray for you.  I talked about how one of my favorite saints,  Saint Therese’, once stated, “I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth. I will let fall from heaven a shower of roses.” When I pray a novena to Saint Therese – for nine days consecutively, without … [Read more...] about Dancing in the Rain(ing Roses)

Do you have a to do list? I do, and it seems to be endless!  I wish I had endless energy and time! God makes the days longer."

When You Want to Give More Than Prayers . . . (The Catholic Goodie Box Review!)

I was given a Catholic Goodie Box to review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own. Whenever I am going through a challenging time, or someone I love is hurting or sick, I often ask others for prayers. I truly and honestly appreciate when others pray for me. I am sure you do too! We often pray for others when they ask or when we can see they are going through a rough time. But sometimes, we … [Read more...] about When You Want to Give More Than Prayers . . .

Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and services are definitely not ideal… at least there weren’t for our family.

I once read or heard another mom suggest washing your children’s feet on Holy Thursday… she I tried it and my kids absolutely LOVED it!

In fact, they would ask to wash my feet!

Last year I took my 3 children (8 year old twins and 12 year old) to a Shrine as a sort of modified 7 churches visit.
It was like a holy adventure!

I had planned on taking them to 2 more churches but we stayed at the first place for awhile so we kept it to that one visit.

Holy Week offers many opportunities and invites much silence and contemplation, but young children make what is do-able different.

We want our children to see and understand God’s great love for us. I feel like these activities communicate that- at least partially.

Do you have suggestions for Good Friday or Holy Saturday?

If this was helpful, please share!

Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday th Did you notice the part of the Gospel yesterday that stated what happened once Jesus died on the cross? There was a certain part that caught my attention more this year than in years past.
Here is an excerpt:
“… the veil of the sanctuary
was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened,
and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection,
they entered the holy city and appeared to many...@

That part about Saints rising and appearing to many made me wonder… did Saint Joseph appear to Mary? Did Saint Anne appear to her daughter as she mourned the loss of her Son?” 

These were thoughts and questions I never had before.

After the Masses were over yesterday my nephew was baptized! My sister Theresa is his mother.
My sister Theresa was named after The Little Flower 🌹 
I know a statue is not a person… but it looks like God and Saint Therese’ sent a wink from heaven yesterday… look who made sure she had a front row seat to the Baptism!

It’s interesting to see how the Saints have always been a part of the story.

I find such comfort that not only can I ask YOU to pray for me, but I can also reach out to the Saints and ask them to pray for me too.

By the way, if you ever need a parking spot, ask Saint Polycarp… he got us a great one yesterday in downtown Philly!
Someone once told me to ask him for help when looking for a parking spot. Her reasoning was “no one is asking him for anything” 😂 I’m telling you… it works every time I ask! 

We are not alone.
If you need prayers- ASK 
Ask your friends, family and call on the Saints!

What Saint has prayed for you before? I’d love to hear about it!
