Value in Virtue Part 1: Our Desire for Beauty
It’s especially easy for us women to get caught up in the desire to be beautiful, to be noticed, to be loved. And beauty is good—one of the ways that women reflect the image of God. However, The problem occurs when we become obsessive about external beauty at the detriment of the beauty of the soul—when a focus on external beauty comes at the cost of Goodness or Truth or Love.
A Breaking Open: Images from Prayer
During my last holy hour of the week (an hour of prayer before Christ in the Eucharist), I sat in silence and asked the Lord to show me one word, thought, or image that He wanted me to focus on. After a moment of closing my eyes and clearing my mind, I got what I asked for.
Is the Eucharist Biblical?
For those of you who aren’t Catholic, I just wanted to share with you (and my fellow Catholics) one of the reasons I love being Catholic. During quarantine, I’ve missed being able to go to Adoration (prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament, the bread that we truly believe is the Body of Christ) and…

I decided that I would not be writing posts over this semester because I wanted to stay focused on school…
Today’s Reading: To Love and Be Loved
Today’s reading is something all of us should refocus on. It’s so easy to get lost in one’s own worries and interests, whether school, work, or other projects, when all our souls need is to love and be loved. “Brothers and sisters: If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation…
Unity in the Eucharist
As a Catholic, the Eucharist is very dear to my heart, and it saddens me that other Christians don’t get to experience this incredible mystery. It is such an incredible gift. God gives Himself to us in a very beautiful and intimate way—literally gives Himself to us, body and blood. Personally, I am very much…
God Loves You—Talk with Him!
In case you haven’t yet heard this yet, or need a reminder: Jesus loves you. Always, no matter what, without limitation. He’s real, and He’s always waiting for you to let Him into your life. He died on the cross–endured so much suffering–to pay our debt and to allow us to come home, and He…
YOU are God’s Treasure: Respect Yourself
Our sexuality is a gift from God to be guarded and respected. The marital act is a beautiful gift which is meant to be highly respected as only given to the one you promise your life to, who promises their life to you.
