just another day of Catholic pondering by Sarah Reinhard
Two summers ago, I bought two copies of A Garden of Visible Prayer: Creating a Personal Sacred Space One Step at a Time, by Margaret Rose Realy. One copy was for myself. The other copy was for my mother-in-law. It went with the handmade rosary Margaret crafted (I wish she sold them online!), and it was a [...]
Before what, you ask? Well, before a lot of things, as it turns out… — 1 — …the end of the Lenten CatholicMom.com Project. I don’t know whether to get all psycho-optimistic or to be a bit realistic.
