just another day of Catholic pondering by Sarah Reinhard
I’m always a little scared, lately, when I agree to read something that is either biography or memoir. Though they can be well-done (and often are), they can also represent a genre that, well, sends me packing and screaming and launching a book across the room. I was unable, though, to turn down the chance [...]
I love the practice of getting a saint for each new year. I had forgotten all about it this year, but Maria Johnson reminded me. My saint for 2013 is… Saint Isidore the Farmer! Ahhhh, a smile. Oh yes. He makes sense in so many ways. Adding him to my litany. Hop on over to [...]

I’d love [...]
Nothing has challenged me like motherhood. Nothing could have prepared me for it, even if I had wanted it all along. And yet here I am, a mom. It’s been a blessing to have the communion of saints to turn to in my journey through the phases of motherhood. I’ve made new friends, been inspired [...]
A Mary Moment Monday post I’ve been receiving the Mary Vitamin via email for quite a while, and it’s one of the only email subscriptions I’ve kept over years. It’s also one of the only ones I actually read regularly. Last week, there was one titled “St. Gerard,” and after I read it, I kept [...]
