Lessons from the Resurrection and Wounds of Christ
Last Easter season, the title of a magazine article caught my attention.
I kept the magazine and left it on my bookshelf for an entire year; and I did this without ever reading the article!
I don’t usually hold on to things, unless they have significance or purpose…
Saint Spotlight: Joseph
Today, March 19th is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Since St. Joseph was the earthly spouse of Mary, the earthly father of Jesus and the head of the Holy Family, he is of great importance.
He’s also important to my family.
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.
Saint Spotlight: Nicholas of Myra
My godmother recently gave me a book called The True Saint Nicholas written by William J. Bennett
Inspired by the book, and using information from it, I dedicate this post to Saint Nicholas of Myra.
Waiting…
“All will be right with time and a little patience.” ~ St. Mary MacKillop
I wrote a post about waiting last year. At that time, I was in a personal situation that required patience.
Well, I’m still in a period of waiting and being asked to practice patience at this very moment!
So, I’d like to share this post with you again. If you read the original post, I recommended re-reading it here.
Waiting is a reality each of us can relate to, and there is often a lesson waiting for us…
The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Today, May 31st the Church celebrates the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
At the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel visits Mary and says she’s been chosen to bear the Son of God. He also says that her relative Elizabeth, who was considered barren, is in the sixth month of her pregnancy.
Immediately after hearing this news, Mary travels to visit Elizabeth. This is known as the Visitation.
First, we’ll look at the Gospel account of the Visitation.
Then, I’ll share four lessons from this significant event.
