Daddy my King: The Father-Daughter Relationship

This is Rose’s first contribution to the site, the contribution of her fantastic talents in photography and in using Photoshop for her creations.

Meditations on the Sacrament of Marriage

My spiritual director (a totally *awesome* priest from the Diocese of Arlington) told me about a beautiful custom associated with the Consecration to Mary of St. Louis de Montfort. Some people wear little chains around their wrists (or ankles) to remind themselves of their slavery to Mary the Mother of Christ. I was smitten with [...]
