I thought I’d go a little retro with my use of the NEW Saint Scripts Cathletics Craft Kits. You see, the 21 postcards in each of the TWO kits available can be a pretty helpful reference tool with the name, a brief biography, an awesome full color Kelly Comics illustration and all the basic Saint Stats including years of life, Feast Day, vocation and patronage.

First Reconciliation Prep: Peek Sheets Printable!
November 13, 2013 by 1 Comment
When you really stop to think about it…our Sacrament of Reconciliation is incredible!! Where else can we hand over our burdens and struggles and receive complete ABSOLUTION; the very MERCY of JESUS poured over our bruised and battered little souls. We celebrate Baptism with a beautiful flowy baby dress, a beautiful anointing and prayers at the Church …and by Holy Communion, those little babies are all dressed up in their suits and white dresses and veils, with no shortage of photo ops, gifts and cake. Both of these Sacraments are MONUMENTAL, but sometimes a quiet little evening of First Reconciliation, where kids line up for their one-to-one talk with the priest… gets a little overlooked.

I have decided that rather than wondering if I need to stick to more of a schedule for posting at Equipping Catholic Families, I’m going to jump into a few of the well-known scheduled and linked posts, like Small Success Thursdays at CatholicMom.com and 7 Quick Takes Friday over at ConversionDiary.com and see which one I like best…and how much scheduled posting I can possibly manage week after week.

I think Lisa Hendey was talking to me:
October Saints and St Therese!
September 30, 2013 by Leave a Comment
October begins tomorrow…and hosts the Feast Days of some of our FAVORITE Saints!
Tomorrow is the Feast Day of St Thérèse.
Want to make a It’s My Feast Day Party Plate?
We love St Thérèse, her example of living The Little Way, the roses she sends as a sign of her intercession and all the teachings in this best-book-ever I Believe in Love.
We choose life!

I have 5 children here in Canada…and 3 up in heaven: Raphael, Gabriel and Paul.
I feel the tug of the newborn who draws up little legs when picked up…and is calmed with a cuddle.I see the goodness in my kids, I’m in awe of how they grow and learn.
I remember…the firsts: the smiles, the words, the steps and suddenly my baby is a little toddler, turning off my computer, climbing into the dishwasher, hiding shoes and pressing buttons on anything within reach.
