St. Mary Magdalene, The Penitent …

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Today is the memorial of my patron saint, St. Mary Magdalene. When I was being confirmed some people assumed my choosing her implied we shared a scandalous unseemly past. “Oh, you’ve taken the reformed prostitute as your patron saint, eh? That’s, um, interesting.” No. I have taken The Penitent as my patron saint. The feast of St. Mary Magdalene is considered one of the most mystical of feasts, and it is said that of all the songs of the... Read more

… Because I’m a slacker. Also, if you were depending on me to remind you about this novena you’ve come to the wrong place. This is the right place. From there you can receive daily email reminders, which is the only way I remember. So if you see me in adoration looking at my tablet don’t be all judge-y. I’m just reading my daily prayers.

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Fine. Maybe I am participating in this particular novena with the intention of finding a husband after all, even though I swore off the idea of getting re-married about two or so years ago. And I was OK with that and never gave it a second thought. But that was before this… Earlier this week I was talking with a work associate when he mentioned his upcoming vacation to celebrate his 10th wedding anniversary. He shared with me the... Read more

… Or so the ditty goes. But St. Ann is good for other stuff too, you know. She is the patroness of mothers and grandmothers, unmarried women, women in labor, infertile women, housewives, miners, and cabinet makers. Yesterday started the Novena to St. Ann and my plan was to post this then, my apologies. However, it’s OK to just pick up now and follow along for the rest of the novena.

The Importance of Ignoring the Pope…

Last updated on: January 25, 2017 at 6:39 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I was waiting for just the right time, when Pope Francis gave another interview or said something grossly misinterpreted by the media, to post these comments. Guess what? I didn’t have to wait long. Posted with permission: There are a few options in dealing with the pope and his strange methodology. I would suggest the logical possibility that has not yet been suggested. You can ignore him. As laymen we have very little power to do anything about his... Read more

How To Make Prayer Fun and Less Chore Like for Kids…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Dear Catholic Parent, You can’t. Next question. Seriously, why do we give our kids chores? Because we are sadistic and enjoy their misery? Free child labor? We find their whines pleasing to the ear? OK, maybe a little. No, we give our kids chores because it teaches them responsibility. It teaches them that they are functioning members of a family and they serve a purpose. So get rid of the notion that chores are bad. Another trend I notice... Read more
