Saints that Were Persecuted or Let Down by the Church

The betrayal of Judas runs very, very deep. Something that's been weighing heavily on my heart lately is a feeling that I can't depend on or trust the Church. The greater scandals, a scandal in a religious organization that I grew up around and consider family , and what happened in my own case , have all led to a deep distrust in the institutional Church. I don't think I'll ever be able to trust a priest for advice in the same way again, and I struggle with how I'm going to navigate Catholic community life and keep my children safe without making them afraid. In this dark time, I've been introduced to a few people who have also been through a season of betrayal by God's Church. It's funny, but these people seem to have gone out of their way to find me. It's ironic and tragic that some of the heaviest crosses laid on the shoulders of the saints have been put there by the hand of that which was supposed to be their support. At the sa...

In the Garden, and Repurposed Clothes

The original mama cat, Corrie, is pretty friendly. Um... despite the look on her face. She's cuddly, I promise. Why you take picture, hooman? 3.) Fruit of the Vine The previous owners planted a g...

(Barely) Living With Scrupulosity

" Perhaps the easiest way to understand scrupulosity is to recognize the manifestation of the affliction. For most sufferers the experience of scrupulosity is described as "thoughts that cannot be shaken"...Others describe the affliction as being constantly and unrelentingly "pricked by a pin." " --Thomas M. Santa, C.Ss.R., Understanding Scrupulosity " Studies show that scrupulosity is the fifth most common form of OCD [Obsession Compulsion Disorder] " --Laurie Krath, BeyondOCD.org One day, when I was about fifteen years old, I attended mass with my family in a beautiful church. The mass was reverently said, and I did my best to pay attention and stay focused on the words that were being said and on the prayers. As we lined up and went for communion, I looked up towards the beautiful domed ceiling and tried to properly prepare my mind to receive the Eucharist. The person in front of me received communion. "The Virgi...
