Friendships with the saints are so important to establish! Just ask Patrick Pulis, founder of Saint of the Month, a Catholic box subscription company. He shared 3 stories with me of how 3 different saints helped him with finding his wife, in time of need, and with growing in his faith! It was wonderful talking …
I am a cradle Catholic, and have been exposed to the saints for all of my life. But there are still questions that have come up for me on the saints, whether they were my own as I was learning about them, or ones that I’d see posted in other social media groups. I wanted …

How many times have you had a bad day and had someone tell you to “think positive” or “look on the bright side”? And how annoyed has that made you? While I’m sure that person was trying to help you change your perspective and feel better, maybe it wasn’t the right time to suggest it, …
Last week I wrote a post for the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I shared my own reflection on it, and now would like to share other resources from members of Catholics Online. Just click the links under the picture to be directed to each resource. We all decided to come together and …

The importance of silence The other day I found my copy of Thirsting for God- daily meditations by Mother Teresa edited by Angelo D. Scolozzi and decided to look at the reflection of the day.
