Psalm 34

One of my favorite verses, verse 18:  The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

Happy Triduum



Good Afternoon beautiful mothers! 

This is my favorite season of the liturgical year, the Triduum- holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday leading to the Resurrection!!  The time we remember how Jesus showed us how much he loves us when he gave his body and every drop of His blood so that we might live.  During the darkest hours of my divorce it was comforting to know that Jesus suffered more than I and he KNOWS my pain.  When he wept in the garden, praying that the Father take this suffering away but only if it was His will, i felt the courage to pray too that my cross be taken away and also had the courage to ask for the grace to carry on until my own personal resurrection from pain would occur.  That is my prayer for all of you that you don’t lose hope that God can and will raise you from your current pain if you put yourself in His wonderfully caring, gently yet almighty hands.

I read this great article on praying for those who hurt you and found it very meaningful. And it is so less painful than you are imaging right now;)  http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jennifer-fulwiler/praying-for-people-you-cant-pray-for

Happy V Day

Good Morning beautiful mothers! On this day of commercialized love i wanted to remind you that God,the author of love,  whose love is beyond all telling, loves you deeper than you will know in this world.  You are his pearl of great price that he sacrificed his only son so that you might see how deep his love is for you.  You are his princess, daughter of the Father.  His Son, Jesus is THE love of your life.  He desires you more than any mortal man ever will.  He loves you perfectly and infinitely. He sees how beautiful you are inside and out and it pleases him.  I invite you to take a moment to contemplate with an open heart, this unseen reality.  If you are unsure, imagine what it would be like to be loved beyond all telling.  And then ask the Holy Spirit to show you.

TK Changes



Good Morning beautiful mothers!  For those of you who weren’t able to make it to our gathering Saturday or had to leave early, we are having some changes in TK.  Last Saturday was our last regularly scheduled meeting.  We will no longer be meeting every month.  We do intend to maintain our TK email and blog and if you need anything you can contact us via email.  We also plan to have about 2 gatherings a year. Diana wishes to continue the annual Valentine’s gathering and we will do something in the summer.

Please know that in your awesome task of raising children you are not alone.  Please take advantage of all assistance available to lighten you load.  That can be help from a friend, a program at the Spiritual Life Center such as Beginning Experience, seeking Spiritual Direction, professional counseling or the friendly, compassionate ear of one of us have been through this.  Spiritual Direction is often misunderstood and I would encourage everyone to seek it. Why seek direction? Do so if…
  • You are experiencing a new sense of God in your life and question where that is leading.
  • You are experiencing a distance from God, the Church, or your faith.
  • You are facing an important decision or transition in your life.
  • You simply need a companion as you continue to live your baptismal call in your vocation.
What Spiritual Direction is not: It is not emotional counseling or psychotherapy.  It is not marriage counseling, nor is it a self-help course.  All of these have their proper place, but they are not Spiritual Direction.
 If anyone wishes to call an informal TK girls night out or in, feel free to do so! 

May God bless each of you and your children, through the intercession of the Mediatrix of all Graces, His Mother, Mary.

Mark 5:41-43 "He took her by the hand. Then he said to her, "Talitha koum!" This means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!" Right away she stood up and walked around. They were totally amazed at this. Jesus gave strict orders not to let anyone know what had happened. And he told them to give her something to eat."
