They DO Continue reading Theological Thursday: Why do Catholics Worship Mary?

Last weekend I had an overnight bridal shower/bachelorette party at my sister’s house for my cousin’s fiancé. This left me with no chance to get up a Sunday Snippets post (although I did mange to like up Kathleen’s review & giveaway). So today I am going Continue reading Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival (May 12, 2013) Since Mother’s Day is this Sunday I thought I would celebrate by sharing some of my favorite quotes about motherhood. 1. “God could not be everywhere and therefore He made mothers.” –Jewish Proverb 2. “Mother is the heartbeat in the home; and without her, there seems to be no heart throb.” –Leroy Continue reading 7 Quick Takes: Ode to Moms Edition May 10th, 2013 | Tags: george washington, moms, moms day, mother, mother hood, mother hood is, mother's day, motherhood, motherhood is, mothers, robert browning, washington irving | Category: 7 Quick Takes | 2 comments | | Last week I explained what Indulgences are and offered some resources to help you learn more about them.
