Mary, Our Lady, the Blessed Mother, Mother Mary, Queen of Angels, Queen of Heaven. The names by which we call the mother of our Lord are many, and many are the devotions to her. I thought I'd highlight one of the many in our first month of this series. July 16th happens to be the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. For those enrolled in the confraternity of the brown scapular this day is a wonderful one to commemorate as a family. For those who are not, this day offers another peek into the great care Our Lady takes of us as Mother of the Church.

Not so much to share all the amazing things I'm up to, or because anything earth-shatteringly grand is going on over here. But because I find I remember more when … Continue reading And then there were three

I told her this morning we were … Continue reading St. Therese…the little things
