Nature…Yes or No?
Spring is finally here and moods are spontaneously lifting. This particular soul always finds solace in nature. Being in the garden or around animals or just out there with the blue sky and the trees with birds chirping their songs. In these environments I find it the easiest to pray. I find myself stopping randomly…
Beauty of the Home
I take the principle of domesticity: the ideal house, the happy family, the holy family of history. For the moment it is only necessary to remark that it is like the church and like the republic, now chiefly assailed by those who have never known it, or by those who have failed to fulfill it.…
Our Glorious Saint Joseph
Yesterday was the feast of St Joseph. Let us listen to the words of a few saintly souls and then end with a prayer. He (St Joseph) was head of the divine household on earth with, as it were, fatherly authority; he has the Church dedicated to his loyalty and protection. Such a person possesses…
Women Must Work!
From the moment of our conception, we become a product of our environment. What a mother eats affects her unborn child. The lifestyle she leads either positively or negatively affects her child. The amount of stress she is under affects her child. And upon joining our family on the day of our birth, our formation…
Ite Ad Joseph!
Previously, we discussed some of the benefits of making St Joseph an important figure in our lives. Honestly though, why is this? Why Saint Joseph rather than one of the female saints? After all, we are women trying to regain our lost femininity. We are trying to regain our true selves and fulfill our vocation…
An Aid to Reclamation
In our efforts to regain our true femininity, it is safe to say we need all the help we can get. After all, the ways in which we could take a wrong turn on our quest are myriad and often cleverly concealed as beneficial. What is another step we could take that will help guarantee…
Reclaiming our Identity
How do we regain what was stolen from us? Namely, the exquisite bearing and burnished beauty of a whole and complete woman. The first step is perhaps the hardest and the most puzzling. It is to realize that everything our culture has taught us to believe is false. The role and dignity of women has…
Feminine Vocation
My image of the woman I want to be is almost ethereal. A woman clothed with the light of grace. Lustrous in the virtues and shedding light and love on those around her. Perfect in form and beauty, graceful and delicate, yet possessing an inner strength and resolve surpassing the powers of comprehension. Engendering virtue…
To Be or Not To Be
To be, or not to be. That is the question, isn’t it? This line has been used in many and diverse ways since Shakespeare penned it so long ago. In this instance as I borrow the saying of The Bard, the question in my mind is a hard one indeed. It is whether I shall…
Martha, Martha
I thought it only right that after a post on Magdalene, I attempt to honor Martha as well. Poor Martha! Always held up as the one not to imitate. Always put forth as the one less beloved by Our Lord. Just not good enough. And all of us poor sots are just like her. Lets…
