Introductions

Good Day!
Update:
March 5, 2018

So it seems I post during the Lent season when my best intentions begin again!  I am going to use this site for my own journaling. Feel free to look around. I have removed posts that were of a specific middle school nature in order to begin cleanly!

I am currently teaching an alive and happy class of 3rd and 4th graders preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.



If you feel called to this beautiful work consider the following:

The definition of a catechist :  A catechist is a practicing Catholic in good standing with a heart fixed on God and His Bride, the Church. He or she responds to the universal call to holiness by teaching Jesus Christ and His message of forgiveness, mercy and salvation to others. Catechists are those teachers who endeavor to bear witness through words and deeds to the Truth that is Christ--and to put people not only in touch but in communion with Him (Catechesi Tradendae, 5).   from From St John The Beloved Catholic Church, SC

This is my first year as catechist for middle school students.  I am a mother of five, married 22 years.  My two older children help on occasion.  I will use this page to post updates and general information. I will post randomly.  These posts are my own musings and do not reflect my beloved church or her truths but my own crazy journey where mistakes will be made.

St Monica, pray for us!

This morning my husband gave me a line out of his morning readings,  "The proper attitude before an object is virtue"  We read often from one of the books whose author is Fr Giussani .  It would be easy to say, OK, now I will pay attention to when I have virtue which would be identified by a sense of gratitude and try and cultivate that position.  Not entirely incorrect! More complete, cultivate the sense of wonder.  The wonder of a child before the unexpected gift. Every moment Our Lord is giving us something.  Something that we are...

Saint Isaac of Syria Humility

Saint Isaac of Syria Humility Fr Doug Lorig was a convert. He passed away Feb 28, 2019. I just found this site. What a few riches in store for those who visit!

So pertinent for today!! is this pearl -- Listen to  Saint Isaac of Syria Isaac's Prayer 'A Merciful Heart' and then you will understand Fratelli Tutti
