Yesterday afternoon (before watching the solar eclipse!) we had our sixth Good Shepherd's Garden Party. Since we hadn't had an opportunity to have a May Crowning yet this year, I thought we'd try to tie it in to our Garden Party this week, especially since all...
"The tree of life my soul has seen, laden with fruit and always green.The tree of natures fruitless be compared to Christ the apple tree. I'm weary with my former toil. Here I will sit and rest awhile. Under the shadow I will be of Jesus Christ the...
Your works, O Lord, are manifold and wisely made, and well!You fill the world with forms of life more than our tongues can tell. Oh, yonder lies the rolling sea with life of ev'ry sort,and in it lives Leviathan, whom you have made for sport.These look to you and...
The Heavens Tell God's Glory!As spring from winter does succeed, and leaves the naked trees do dress: The earth, once dead, is clothed in green, in sunshine each their joy express.My sun's returned with healing wings, my soul and body do rejoice.My heart exults and...
Welcome to the Lord's TableHow good a thing it is, how pleasant to behold,when all God's people live in peace, like sheep within one fold.As perfume, by its scent, spreads fragrance all around,so life itself will sweeter be where unity is found.This afternoon we had...
When Israel fled from Egypt's hand, the seas split wide to form dry land, the mountains leapt like ewes and rams, the hillsides skipped like playful lambs. What makes you leap, O hill and sea? Why, Jordan, do you turn and flee?O, tremble,...

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.
