His Mercy is Manifested in Long Suffering

Last updated on: April 20, 2015 at 9:23 am By Monique Ocampo

My latest post from the Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship was inspired by Lamentations 3:22 and Romans 8:18. The Lord’s acts of mercy are not exhausted, his compassion is not spent.- Lamentations 3:22 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.- Romans 8:18 Wanna find out how?

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 3:01 pm By Monique Ocampo

The episode opens at a bowling alley. A man named Healy comes looking for Mr. Prohashka and turns a friendly greeting into a stick-up. 36 hours earlier, two men are opening up a crate of fresh firearms. One of them, Turk Barrett, admires the craftsmanship of a fresh gun. Back at the bowling alley, that same gun that Healy’s holding doesn’t work. The two of them get into a fight, ending with Healy killing Prohashka by crushing his head with a bowling... Read more

Daredevil Month: Cut Man

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 12:35 pm By Monique Ocampo

Apologies that this is late. I was kind of busy wrangling second graders for Catechism. Without further ado, onto the episode. The episode opens with a young man named Santino finding Daredevil in a dumpster. The young man runs to his neighbor for help. The woman who comes to help is a nurse named Claire (played by Rosario Dawson). Matt flashes back to his childhood, where he’s watching his father losing a boxing match. His dad arrives home and the young... Read more

His Mercy Is Over All His Works

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 10:10 am By Monique Ocampo

My latest contribution to the Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship contemplates Psalms 145: 9 and Matthew 11: 28 An excerpt: Compassion and mercy are often affiliated with each other because it takes an understanding of suffering and a desire to alleviate one’s suffering in order to be merciful. It’s not always easy, obviously. More often than not, we get angry and make snap judgments. Sometimes, compassion and mercy are the furthest thing from our minds. But the key here is sympathy, having the ability to understand another... Read more

Daredevil Month: Into the Ring

Last updated on: April 14, 2015 at 12:40 pm By Monique Ocampo

I’ll admit that I’m only a casual fan of superheroes at best. I’m really picky about what I watch and I tend to prefer shows with female leads and good morals and lots of nerdy fun. Mostly, I love shows with really great writing that doesn’t stoop to soap opera levels. But given that everyone’s been talking about Daredevil, I figured I’d give it a watch. So without further ado, the next few weeks will have posts of me looking at... Read more

Jesus, I Trust in You! Help My Unbelief!

Last updated on: April 13, 2015 at 11:51 am By Monique Ocampo

One of the many devotions I gained in my college years was a love for the Divine Mercy Chaplet. This is also the first year that I finally prayed the Divine Mercy Novena all the way through. (Thank you Pray More Novenas!) I don’t know if it’s just me or if other cradle Catholics have this problem (or heck, even Christians in general), but I always feel like it’s one thing to believe in the core values and all the...

The Best Words in the Best Order: Why Poetry?

Last updated on: April 10, 2015 at 2:19 pm By Monique Ocampo

April is National Poetry Month. According to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poetry is the best words in their best order. But in the days of Top 40 music and young adult novels about post-apocalyptic worlds, what place does poetry have in the world? It’s kind of like asking what purpose beauty has in the world, to be honest. Poetry, to me, is one of the most beautiful forms of storytelling. It doesn’t always come in the form of a romantic sonnet or a... Read more
