When I was 13, I came home from school and cried into my pillow because the cute popular boy said I ‘would be’ cute if I lost a little weight. When I was 14, a pastor’s wife referred to me as a slut and a bad influence. When I was 15, someone’s mom told everyone I would just end up pregnant living in a trailer in someone’s backyard. When I was 16, I broke up with my boyfriend. He wrote an ‘English paper’ about a ‘red-headed backstabbing b****’ and read it in front of the entire class (I had red hair). I cried as everyone stared at me. When I was 17, I ate lunch in a bathroom stall by myself because I was the new girl at school and the only friend I had was out that day. I’m 27 now. I’m a grown married woman. One thing I can tell you, looking back, I get it. I was no ‘poster child’ for a teenager. Modesty wasn’t a word in my vocabulary. Rules didn’t apply many days. I make the statement that between high school and college, I probably either did it or was in the same room as it. However, let me be ABUNDANTLY clear, my worth was absolutely NO less then, than it is today. I was as absolutely loved then, as I am today. My dignity was the same then, as it is today. My worth has NEVER been contingent. The real problem? I never knew it. And heck, some days, I still forget that. So the next time you feel the need to jeer at the teenage girl you don’t find modest enough. Or maybe stick your nose up at the kid that has a ‘bad reputation’. Or maybe you justify your condemnation by labeling someone as the ‘culture’ you fight against... I hope I can put a face, an actual face, to that girl, to that kid, that maybe you don’t feel fits in your ‘circle’. . If you are a young person and if you’ve had experiences like the above. Ugh, let me tell you again and again, you are so entirely, entirely precious. The words and actions of others don’t dictate your worth. Just because something is said, doesn’t make it a part of who you are. You are more than any label or any belittling feeling. You ALWAYS have a place in this Church. You are WANTED in this Church. Anyone tells you or makes you feel differently?.... you message me. Your words matter. Your actions are remembered.

“For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” - 1 Cor. 1:21–24⁣ .⁣ “When asked why Catholics use a crucifix instead of a bare cross, the answer then is twofold. We don’t separate Christ’s body from His cross because we value both His body and His cross. God the Son died as man to save the world, which means that His human body is sacred and worthy of our worship. And since He chose to die by crucifixion, the cross on which He died is worthy of our veneration because that was the means by which He saved the world. A bare cross has no value unless it is clearly HIS cross.” - taken from the article “Cross or Crucifix” from @catholicanswers⁣ .⁣ Jesus, our refuge, miserere nobis❤⁣ #christcrucified #jesuschrist #catholicconvert

“Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” - Matthew 19:14 Having one of those “We’re doing a great job as parents” moments! But in reality it’s Him working through them that makes these moments shine bright. Their faith astounds me. Have your kids ever surprised you with their understanding of Jesus? Have they ever stopped you in your tracks with a comment that was so deep and profound yet so simple that you knew it came straight from the Lord? When this happens I always thank God for the gift of childlike faith. I get to live it through them. #catholicmomthoughts #catholicsofinstagram #catholicconvert #liturgicalliving #projectblessed #catholiccreatives #gracemakers #catholicfamily #catholicwomen #blessedisshe #bissisterhood #catholicfaith #catholicmom

Jesus, I trust in You. . . This message has centered itself at the forefront of our family life. To let go of the material possessions and distractions which prevent us from growing in relationship with Jesus and His Holy Catholic Church. As a gardener pruning back the dead buds and rotting leaves from growing fruits, so too must we consciously eradicate all obstacles to our relationship with God. . . Jesus, I trust in You. Jesus, I trust in You. Jesus, I trust in You. #Catholicchurch #Catholicism #JesusitrustinYou #DivineMercy #Catholics #Catholicfamily #DivineMercyChaplet #Rosary #ChristianPrayer #InstaCatholic #Catolicos #Catholicconnect #catholicart #Catholiclife #Catholicprayer #Catholicyoutube #Catholicyoutuber #Catholicsaint #ProudCatholic #Catholicconvert #catholique #catholicfaith @dailydivinemercy #divinemercychaplet #catholique

Wherever You are, my home is there too. - A couple of months ago, I was talking to a coworker. We were chatting about traveling, moving, and just how crazy life for a young adult can be. - She said something I’ll never forget, “I’ve learned that if He is there, I am home, and He is always with me. Therefore I can be at home anywhere.” - She put it so simply, but it doesn’t mean that it’s a simple truth. It doesn’t mean that this is an easy thing to actually put into practice. - Over the past 6 years I have called Haiti, Charlotte, Pensacola, and South Bend all “home”, although not all of them always truly felt like home. - But even when, especially when, we don’t feel at home, He is still there. Loving us, willing our good, and journeying with us. - Wherever He is, we are home.

Happy Feast of Corpus Christi ♡ Our Beloved Jesus loves us so much that He appears in our priests' hands every single hour of every single day so that we can commune with Him. Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, we receive Him! This is why it is called Holy Communion. Can our relationship with God be any more intimate? When our souls and bodies are ready, He inebriates us with His Precious Blood. He desires to run through our veils! What greater love is there than this? ♡ This unchangeable, ever-believed Church dogma of the True Presence of Jesus is what changed my life. My desire to turn from sin and strive for holiness was now united with a reason and a way- HIM. ♡ Soul of Christ, sanctify me  Body of Christ, save me  Blood of Christ, inebriate me  Water from Christ's side, wash me  Passion of Christ, strengthen me  O good Jesus, hear me  Within Thy wounds hide me  Suffer me not to be separated from Thee  From the malicious enemy defend me  In the hour of my death call me  And bid me come unto Thee  That I may praise Thee with Thy Saints  and with Thy Angels  Forever and ever Amen. ♡ #corpuschristi #animachristi #soulofchrist #bloodofchrist #preciousblood #ciborium #tabernacle #communionrail #femininereverence #preciouschalice #eucharist #jesus #thebodyofchrist #holymass #catholicrevert #catholicconvert #chapelveil #jesusmeum #adorotejesu #mothermary #catholicfeastday #the bodyofchrist #osavingvictim

I love love love reading your sweet reviews and seeing where you put your stickers! If you have a @shopforhisglory sticker, where did you put it I’d love for you to send me a pic!

“Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.” - Saint Patrick In the past year on this platform I have become so much more aware of my words and my actions. I have kind of become known as the ‘super Catholic’ girl in a lot of ways. With that, I take great deal of responsibility to represent this faith in everything that I do and everything that I say. I don’t mean ‘bible thumping’ (for the record, that’s not effective and does more harm than good) but that I live my life fully in a way that does justice to everything this faith represents. However, I fail at that and when I do fail at it, it hits me hard. It is really amazing that I came across this quote for today. Christ in everything. Always. When we fail (which we all will) we recognize that failing. We recognize our weakness and you bring Christ there too. Christ is not just reflected in our God-given gifts. He doesn’t just want our strengths, He wants our weaknesses too. However, it’s easier said than done to bring Him there. Christ in everything. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
