Happy the one whose fault is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy the man to whom the LORD imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit. Because I kept silent, my bones wasted away; I groaned all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength

My favorite nativity. I love that they “dance” and move about. Every day I find them in a different position.

Today is Thanksgiving, and I have many things to be thankful for. But especially this year, I am so grateful that God led me to the Catholic Church. Honestly, I still can’t believe I did it, and in many ways it was a sacrifice. But here I am, and my soul is eternally grateful.

What is wrong with the X algorithm? All I see are half naked women and videos of people melting things. I’m not sure why it thinks I’m into women or lava.

This evening my church is having their annual veneration of the relics of St. Catherine Labouré. She is best known for having the apparitions that led to the creation of the Miraculous Medal. My sponsor gave me this miraculous medal necklace as my confirmation gift. I wear it

Peter cried out, “Lord, save me!” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
