Happy Easter!
Thank you to those who are praying the Divine Mercy Novena with me.
The novena ends on April 18th, the day before the Feast of Mercy.
Have you heard of this feast?
I want to tell you about it (again) because I don’t want you to miss out!
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember this post from last year.
I’ll be praying the annual Divine Mercy Novena, and I’m calling you to join me!
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life (Respect Life).
In honor of Respect Life Month I’d like to share a prayer from the Sisters of Life, a religious order whose mission is to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life.
I arrived in Lourdes, France on July 31st and left on August 6th.
(I learned that Lourdes is pronounced “Lourd” in French.)
It was a special experience that I’m grateful for. It still seems surreal that God permitted us to go!
Lourdes is a beautiful place, and I hope to return someday.
I’ve been reflecting on my time there, and I’m sure I’ll continue this process for a while…
Since so much occurred during the pilgrimage — and so much is continuing to unfold — I plan to write about it in pieces.
In this post, I’ll share how my friend and I presented our prayer intentions (both your intentions and mine).
I’ve been praying the Divine Mercy Novena since Good Friday.
I’m grateful to those who are praying along with me!
Those praying the novena know it ends on April 27th, the day before the Feast of Mercy.

In my previous post I promised that I would focus on trust in the next one. I’m a woman of my word, so here it is!
Trust is a theme that will appear in many of my posts, either directly or indirectly.
While there are several reasons for this, the main reason is because trust is the key to our faith and relationship with God.
When we put our trust in the Lord, our lives and souls are transformed. The more we trust, the more graces we receive and the closer we’re united to Him.
One’s confidence in God is increased and strengthened when the soul is nourished with prayer, Sacred Scripture and writings aligned with Church teaching, Mass, and the Sacraments (especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation).
One way that I’ve increased my trust in God has been through my devotion to Divine Mercy.
