Feast of Saint Catherine/Project Siena Poll/New Sections Update

-

 I missed it friends!! 

The feast of Saint Catherine of Siena was yesterday! It's okay though, we can celebrate today too 😉

Happy Feast! 🥳🥳🥳

So.. I realized something... I tend to give a lot of updates, and ask a lot of questions, but I don't do a lot of explaining, and I don't have many articles. So let me fix that by giving you updates but also an explanation. 

Project Siena is about to go through a little bit of a change that will hopefully help in getting content out faster. Over the summer, hopefully around the end of May, and beginning of June, I will be releasing audio articles (basically a podcast). Sometimes it is easier to talk about these subjects than it is to write about it. These episodes will be available on this website, as well as Youtube, and quite possibly Spotify. The poll that I am including in this article is for questions and topics that will be discussed on the blog as well as in the audio articles. We will also hopefully be able to have some interviews as time goes on which I think will be super cool!! 

I have opened up the resource section and will be adding some new resources soon!! For now it has the Chaplet of Divine Mercy how-to, some Holy Week resources, and the stations of the cross, but I hope to be getting some novenas, more how-to's, and come recommendations on Catholic shops, media, and the like. Please keep me in your prayers as I try and build this blog, I want it to be super epic for everyone! If you guys have any ideas of things that you would want to see on the blog, let me know about it in the poll below. I hope you're all having a blessed week!! 

See you in the Eucharist, 

May

54 Day Rosary Novena Challenge

-
Hey Friends!!  Our Lady of Fatima in her apparitions asked us to pray the Rosary every single day. Well that can be a little hard can't it? How are we supposed to fit such a seemingly long prayer into our every day lives? Well, it seems hard, but it all depends on how much we are willing to commit. If we woke up fifteen minutes earlier, or went to bed fifteen minutes later, cut out fifteen minutes of extra tv or phone time, or turned the music down during a drive, we would all be able to fit a Rosary into our day. Let's try to build that habit together, friends!! Starting on May 31st, the feast of Mary's Visitation, let's start the 54 Day Rosary Novena. Every day I will send out a blog post with the prayers and an email reminder. Anyone who signs up and logs their rosary will have their rosaries counted and added to the Rosary Count which will be live on the blog on May 31st. At the end of the challenge, hopefully we will have completed several hundred Rosaries even if ...

Thomas More: A Saint for Today

-
Image
Born in 1478, Saint Thomas More was a lawyer, statesman, and the Lord Chancellor of England, among a few other titles. Thomas was also a father and husband. Thomas was good friends with the king of England, Henry VIII, who eventually had him killed. During his reign, Henry tried to divorce his wife, Catherine, who was barren. He intended to marry Anne Bolyen. To do this, Henry separated from Rome and declared himself Holy Roman Emperor.  When Henry sought Thomas’s opinion on this separation, Thomas remained silent. But Thomas's silence spoke volumes. By remaining silent he asserted his allegiance to the Catholic Church, and to the State, but not to the actions of the King.  His silence, while eventually resulting in his martyrdom, provides an example for Catholics living in a post Christian culture.  Thomas was a lawyer and statesman during the reign of King Henry VIII. Henry was married at the time to his late brother’s wife, Catherine. Henry received a special dispensat...

Christ in the Old Testament

-
Throughout the Old Testament there are very many foreshadowing and prophecies of Jesus Christ. The prophets paint a picture of what the coming Messiah might look like. The Psalms foreshadow His life and personality. These aren’t the only things that tell us about Christ however. There were people described in the Old Testament that were “types” of Christ. To say that someone is a type of someone else means that their lives had parallels and similarities. Some examples of types of Christ found in the Old Testament are: Adam, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jonah, Job. The first type of Christ found in the Bible is Adam. We can see a parallel between Adam and Jesus in the gardens. In the garden of Eden, Adam disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit. Adam did not trust that God was in control and knew what was best for him, instead Adam thought that God was trying to keep him from being as powerful as Himself. Adam said “no” to God’s will by eating the fruit. At the start of Jesu...
