Walk Softly and Carry a Great Bag

Teresa Tomeo has written a lovely little book to add to your Lenten devotional arsenal called Walk Softly and Carry a Great Bag: On-the-Go Devotions

The book already has been endorsed by numerous reputable Catholic authors, speakers, and EWTN hosts. It's a small, portable gem, full of quick-read anecdotes followed by brief, two-sentence prayers written to raise both your heart and your mind to the Lord and His intentions for every aspect of your life.

The book's small size (only 6 1/2" square and 201 pages) makes it ideal for popping it into your purse (thus the "...Carry a Great Bag"). Its humorous and uber-quick devotions make it a lovely companion at all times, much more edifying and eminently more refreshing than that screen-based game you're tempted to turn to on your phone when you have just a moment or two to kill.

Instead this Lent, reach into your purse and open up a spiritual little ray of sunshine, illuminating your heart and your mind with God's love for you. Teresa Tomeo's book will be the easiest thing you do for 40 days!

Enjoy!

Morning Offering

Oh my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee the Precious Blood of Jesus from all the altars throughout the world, joining with it the offering of my every thought, word, and action of this day.

Oh my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and I offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that she may best apply them to the interests of Thy Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Amen.

Catholic Homeschooling

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

2221 The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute. The right and the duty of parents to educate their children are primordial and inalienable.

2222 Parents must regard their children as children of God and respect them as human persons. Showing themselves obedient to the will of the Father in heaven, they educate their children to fulfill God's law.

2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues.

2229 As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental.
