The Mysteries of the Rosary

Image
It seems like Lent has just flown by, and we are just about finished with our spiritual preparations for Easter. But, what have we learned these past (almost) forty days? How have we grown? Will we continue to carry our lenten prayer routine forward? Will we maintain our momentum in our spiritual life that Lent has encouraged us in? Or, will we rejoice and “move on with our lives"?  Order May's Devotional Now        It is so easy to let go of our lenten obligations because we can, instead of allowing it to be a springboard for our faith. Why don’t we continue our daily scripture reflections? Why don’t we continue our extra time in front  of the Blessed Sacrament? Why don’t we continue praying the Rosary together as a family?  As a family of seven, I understand that is so much easier to minimize and to cut back on anything extra in our routine to save sanity. But, why is it that the things we cut out are the most vital to maintaining our sani...

Suffering

Click here to order March now ! Pain.  Discomfort.  Illness.  Suffering.  Have you ever wondered what the point of our suffering is? “Jesus was the victim of torture,” says Fr. Leonard Revilla in our March Veritas, “he did not deserve to suffer and die….  It was sin that caused Jesus to unjustly suffer and die.  The less we sin, the less suffering there is in the world.”   Fr. Leonard continues: “Imagine a world with all people trying to live God's will.  Think about how just and harmonious the earth would be.  Pray that we always have the grace to do the will of God, and that others do too.” Week one: Physical Suffering Week two: Emotional Suffering Week three: Temporal Suffering Week four: Spiritual Suffering If you, or someone you know, is interested in ordering our daily devotional, please click here to order now!  Bulk discount for orders of 50 or more devotionals!  If you live in the Edmonton are...

In Need of a Christmas Gift?

With Christmas quickly approaching, I find myself trying very hard to be intentional with each moment, and to not be carried away with all the necessary preparations and distractions that are readily available. Click here to order now.   I want to be totally prepared to welcome our Lord on Christmas day, but I so often allow myself focused on less important things. It's sometimes hard not to feel like I will be so undeserving to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday. I have often wondered how Jesus felt during His life. Did He feel the same things I felt? Discouragement? Frustration? Anger? Was He tempted with the same things I struggle with? With those thoughts in mind, I decided to take a deeper look into the life of Jesus during this Christmas season, and into the end of January with the theme, 'Jesus Christ'. We wanted to focus on the aspects: Week one: Prophecy Week two: His Divinity Week three: His Humanity Week four: His Obedience I am...
