Battle Ready Women!

Last updated on: August 11, 2015 at 10:21 am By Monique Ocampo

My dad and I love listening to Catholic Radio. Oftentimes, we hear advertisements about a program called “Battle Ready” as well as events centering on men. Sometimes, I would hear the radio hosts lamenting about how men aren’t as spiritually active as women. The Battle Ready website is marketed mostly towards men. There is a page for women, but even though they say that woman are involved in the fight for souls, the emphasis is on women encouraging men, playing... Read more

The Eucharist Is A Sacrifice: Eucharist Bible Study Day 1

Last updated on: August 11, 2015 at 10:04 am By Monique Ocampo

When I read over the meditation for today, I thought of Danielle Rose’s “Behold the Lamb of God.” I keep being drawn back to moment when Jesus was baptized. I’ve linked to the song here, but I encourage you to follow the Spotify playlist that I created that accompanies this study. Follow the Eucharist playlist here. Go read today’s meditation here!

The Courage to Change

Last updated on: August 8, 2015 at 9:28 am By Monique Ocampo

One thing commonly associated with people who have autism and Asperger’s Syndrome is that they have a harder time adjusting to change than normal people. In the past few months, however, I’ve gone out of my way to try new things which led to changes in my social life. There have also been some changes that happened outside of my control, some good and some bad. As much as I grit my teeth over the bad changes, I still try... Read more

From The Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship: If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion.” — ST. MAXIMILLIAN KOLBE One wonderful thing about being a Catholic is that we have the Eucharist. Whether you’re a Cradle Catholic who received communion at a young age or a convert who received communion for the first time during Easter Vigil, the Eucharist is a blessing and a grace that we Catholics are privileged enough to...

Social Media Storytelling

Last updated on: August 6, 2015 at 4:41 pm By Monique Ocampo

Back when I was in college, I fell head over heels in love with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a YouTube web series adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Ever since that series became an internet sensation, many other literary classics have become adapted into a web series format such as The Autobiography of Jane Eyre (based on Jane Eyre) and Nothing Much To Do (Much Ado About Nothing). But my new favorite web series so far is The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy, an adaptation based on... Read more

Can Young Adults Really Believe In Marriage?

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 12:08 pm By Monique Ocampo

Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us twogethow today. When you’re in your 20s and early 30s, the world of “married life” looks like an amusement park. The newlyweds are on a merry-go-round while other couples are on a roller-coaster and many couples end up leaving the park altogether, choosing to split up after over a decade or so of marriage. It’s one thing to hear about celebrities divorcing, but some people grow into adulthood and watch as friends... Read more

What Millenials Can Learn From Saint John Vianney

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 4:20 pm By Monique Ocampo

The first time I heard of St. John Vianney’s name, it was back when I was in Catholic school and some students from St. John Vianney high school came to visit and showcase the school for us. In college, one of my friends in a Bible Study class had a devotion to him. If there’s one word I can use to describe St. John Vianney it’s “fidelity.” Not just his fidelity to the Blessed Virgin or to Saint Philomena (his favorite),... Read more

Terminator Genysis: A Night at the Movies

Last updated on: August 3, 2015 at 11:02 am By Monique Ocampo

A couple weeks ago, I went to see Terminator: Genysis. I went into it with a familiarity of the first two Terminator movies and knew that Terminator 3, Terminator Salvation, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles were less-than-stellar. I felt like the trailer gave away way too much of the movie, but that’s a problem with the trailers from the other movies. I didn’t have any expectations about the movie itself and overall I had a good time watching it. It’s not a movie I’d... Read more

All Lives Matter

Last updated on: July 31, 2015 at 9:31 am By Monique Ocampo

I don’t usually like writing about hot-topic current events, especially stuff involving politics or violence. But sometimes, a girl’s gotta stand up on her soapbox and say “I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” Precautionary warning: If you don’t have anything nice to say, go elsewhere. The videos released by the Center for Medical Progress that document the sale of organs from aborted babies disgust me. I felt like throwing up as I watched them. I was involved in my... Read more
