Saint-O-Lanterns

by | Nov 6, 2024 | Saint-O-Lanterns | 0 comments

Every fall we have a little family tradition of carving Saint-O-Lanterns to light up our front porch for our annual All Hallows’ Eve party with symbols of saints and our beautiful Catholic faith! I love seeing everyone’s creativity year after year.

This year we honored St. Andrew, the Patron of Scotland and Golfers, with a golf-themed pumpkin. A dove for Rose’s recent Confirmation, and a Celtic cross paid tribute to the inspiring Irish St. Brigid. One of the boys also carved Lazarus emerging from the tomb and our youngest decided on a sweet little lamb for St. Germaine.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
