Two Years of One Small Rose

Dear Readers,

I created One Small Rose and published my first post on February 16, 2018.

Since the two year anniversary just passed, I’d like to share a few things.

The Gift of Love

Since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I want to share a well-known Scripture passage on love.

Each of us can benefit from reading and contemplating Saint Paul’s famous words below.

The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11th.

In honor of the upcoming feast, I’m revisiting my Lourdes Series.

In this post I’ll focus on an important Catholic phrase and its connection to my blog and Lourdes.

You may already know that basketball legend Kobe Bryant and eight others died tragically on Sunday.

You may not already know, however, that he was Catholic.

I’d like to share an interesting article I saw posted on social media about the late Kobe Bryant.

I don’t normally post on Tuesday, but I want to share something important!

One day, my friend and I were trying to find out who helped St. Jerome translate the scriptures into Latin…

I stumbled across this information while searching for a saint to write about, not while searching for an answer to our question!

Soon after this discovery, I found images of these saints in my friend’s photos.

Because there are so many connections, it seems this information was revealed for a purpose.

I believe that I’m meant to write about these saints.

This Saint Spotlight is dedicated to: Paula and Eustochium.

In a previous post I wrote about surrender. I also shared the Surrender Novena and invited my readers to join me in prayer…

As we begin a new calendar year, many people make “resolutions” for the year.

When I thought about this, I wondered:

What if we focus on a different type of goal this year? What if we make a dedicated effort each day to surrender to God?
