Ave Momma - Blog: Beer Pro Meus Ferrum (Beer for My Horses)

Beer Pro Meus Ferrum (Beer for My Horses)

A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum -- we had six children! (Did you read our "About Us" tab at www.AveMomma.com? No? Go ahead. I'll wait. Really, go. I'll wait right here.)

So. Here I am, homeschooling our little sapling souls. Since our eldest child has special needs, we sometimes have a need for expensive equipment or services, so I began Ave Momma as a small way to contribute some pin money to the family fortunes (thus beer for our horses), as well as follow Our Lady of Fatima's recommendation to spread the Joy of the Rosary.

We're looking forward to sharing some uplifting thoughts with you!

Thank you for joining us on the journey!

"Happy are all who fear the LORD, who walk in the ways of God. What your hands provide you will enjoy; you will be happy and prosper: Like a fruitful vine your wife within your home, like olive plants your children around your table. Just so will they be blessed who fear the Lord." (Psalm 128:1-4)

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.
