To Breathe
Last updated on: April 3, 2012 at 7:37 pm By texasmommy
I had a very challenging posterior birth of our second son. The agony was beyond my comprehension and at one point, when the pain was wildly out of control, I started to hyperventilate. I was breathing so fast, but felt like I couldn’t get any oxygen to my body. It was terrifying. I needed my body to use oxygen, but it wouldn’t. Sometimes I feel this same breathlessness during my normal days. There are moments when my day seems to... Read more

Divine Mercy Novena Prayers – Day 5 Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

Hard Breaks
Last updated on: April 10, 2012 at 8:25 am By Mary Alice
Twice in the past few weeks, my middle son, the one who rarely pays attention, has asked to lead the Angelus right before lunch. In our go-go-go days, he has spoken up in busy moments, when lunch was just barely going to fit in before baseball or some other commitment, and both times I have responded that we did not have time. To pray. Led by a 7 year old. That is so wrong. In my prayer over the last... Read more

Protecting Our Eyes
Last updated on: April 9, 2012 at 3:06 pm By Mary Alice
I was the last person to use the computer, googling pool cleaners, and then my son told me that all of my children were in the car ready to go, so I got up and we walked out together. We drove to the religious goods store, where I bought a communion veil and a miraculous medal. While I was out, the Devil used my computer. I don’t know how, but when I came home and opened my browser, I opened... Read more

My Own Passion
Last updated on: April 7, 2012 at 7:08 am By Mary Alice
After a long church service today, with kids climbing on me and whining and trying hard to be quiet, I was spent by bedtime. I read the children the Good Friday part of The Very First Easter, which we began reading yesterday before the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. After I read, my 9 year old daughter said something that I want to remember forever. She said “Christ died on the cross because He had the power over life and... Read more
