My Stupid Talent Was a Great Blessing

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

all about prayer journaling!

Wondering how to start a prayer journal?  I can help! Here is an easy “how to” guide!! How to Start a Prayer Journal (in 3 easy steps)

Staying connected to and with God through a physical, tangible, letter, prayer, picture, coloring page or collage helps me, personally.  It has helped me get through depression.  It’s help me hear what God wants me to think and focus on.  It helps me express myself and stay focused in prayer! 

There are some many secular benefits to journaling – add prayer and  . . . wow!  And for those of us that lack the “Pinterest Craftiness”, it really allows a creative outlet!

5 Benefits of Prayer Journaling

I believe in prayer journaling so much, I wrote a guided prayer journal for young Catholic girls!

The Be Yourself Journal combines fun games (like “would you rather” and “truth or dare”) with wisdom from Scripture and the Saints.  The Be Yourself Journal gives girls the option to color on every page, and promotes meditation with powerful quote coloring pages.  There is so much fun – and reassurance of God’s love for the individual girl – on each and every page.  Every young girl should have this book – and every mom would love the nostalgia of filling out her own too!

Prayer journaling is something we can truly do with all Christians – it’s a great way to bond with and remember we do have a lot in common!

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

Pro-love, Pro-life and Pro-adoption

And yes, all of those are connected!  Part of the reason why the blog started was to share our families journey of Pursuing an Adoption Without an Agency: Part 1

While we on that journey, we started praying the Spiritual Adoption prayer – and witnessed more than one miracle through it.  I now speak about this miracle at churches, pro-life events, on radio shows and anywhere people will listen!

Our family has been so blessed by the gift of adoption!  I love promoting adoption and crisis pregnancy centers.  I believe so many women do not realize how much help is available for women who choose life – whether or not they are ready to parent.  I believe so many women do not know how many groups would help them parent.  I believe sometimes God calls a woman to choose adoption, after really looking at parenting first.

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

a platform that celebrates other Catholic Christian writers, businesses, and social media influencers.

Before I started blogging, I knew I wanted to do two things: share our adoption journey with others who feel called to adopt; and promote other bloggers (like Annie from Catholic Wife, Catholic Life).  That desire to promote others and birthed a whole new website and dream.  Together with Sara from To Jesus, Sincerely, 

Catholic Social Media Influencers

has been founded!  We are bringing promotion of Catholics to a whole new level!  If you are interested in being in our directory, contact us and let’s start chatting!

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?

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!
