Divine Mercy Sunday
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!

I’d like to share facts about this event in honor of her feast.
“Know, know for sure, my dearest, littlest, and youngest son, that I am the perfect and ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the God of truth through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near us, the Lord of heaven and earth…” ~ Our Lady of Guadalupe
All Hallows Eve, All Saints and All Souls Day
Last year I wrote a post on Halloween, All Saints and All Souls Day.
It’s that time of year again — can you believe it?! I’d like to share an updated and improved version of that post.
I’ll explain the connection between these three days and their meaning for Catholics.
The Holy Rosary
Last year I wrote a post about the Holy Rosary.
Names
Today, September 12th is the Memorial of the Most Holy Name of Mary.
I’m taking a break from the Lourdes Series to write about something connected to this day: names.
I’ve recently become interested in this topic. So much so that I keep an ongoing list of names that I like. There are enough on the list for a small army!
I enjoy learning the meaning of names. I also enjoy hearing about how they are chosen.
First, I’ll briefly explain the feast.
Then, I’ll share an explanation of the importance of names.
Finally, I’ll provide personal tips for choosing names.
