Dear Friends,

I was thrilled to have been asked by John-Paul and Annie, the wonderful couple behind the website www.PrayMoreNovenas.com, to do a series of short videos to help you prepare in an intentional way this Advent for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. I chose the following themes:

Talk 1: Trust During Trials.

Talk 2: Peace I Leave with You

Talk 3: Imitating Mary in the Heart of the Trinity

Talk 4: Taking Mary As Your Own Mother

In all, six speakers have provided a total of 19 videos for you to watch at your own pace, and it’s free of charge! With over half a million subscribers, I hope that you, too, will take advantage of this opportunity to grow in grace this Advent by registering at www.PrayMoreRetreat.org. John-Paul and Annie will send you a link to begin on Monday, and I will be posting another blog with the links that I reference in the videos.

You can read more about each of the speakers and the topics we will be covering by clicking on the image below:

Additionally, Ceci and I would love to have you join us for the LIVE rosary with spontaneous meditations each weekday morning at 6 am CT on Instagram and YouTube. If you can’t join us live, you can always catch the recordings later in the day if that works better for you. We have such a wonderful community–now about 600 people strong each day, with 200+ joining us live. There’s even a “Kitty’s Morning Glories” page on Facebook where the morning rosary friends connect outside of our prayer time.

Whatever you choose to do,  I will be praying for you to have a rich, peaceful Advent season full of the joy of the Lord!

In His Love,

Kitty

September 1, 2021

Thanks to all who prayed for us as we anticipated the hurricane and who are continuing to pray and assist those who are afflicted. Mel, Ceci, my niece Grace, Bosco and I (and our home) are all fine, which frees us up to help those who are struggling. It’s really quite amazing what happened to us on Sunday, the day of landfall.

While we had intended to ride out Hurricane Ida at home, during our Sunday morning live rosary (on Instagram and YouTube) I “saw“ Our Lady Star of the Sea with the single star over her head gesturing towards Florida.⭐️ As soon as the rosary ended, I called my friend Jeanne in Pensacola and asked if she could take us in. She said, “Come on!” It was now predicted to be a high Category 4, possible Category 5 (catastrophic) hurricane, and it had moved quite close to our home during the night.

We threw our essentials into the car and hit the road 20 mins later. It was a bit scary because we didn’t know what we were getting into and the wind was already picking up. We didn’t even look at the radar—we just fled. 

As soon as we got on the interstate we ended up behind a truck with a single star on the back door and the words “Land Star.” ⭐️ A deep peace came over me as I quietly prayed Hail Marys over and over again. The truck set our pace and led us for the next 2 hours with *no* wind, *no* traffic, and only *light* rain the entire way. Incredible! What took people 12 hours on Saturday took us 3, as we “shot the gap” between the hurricane rain bands. 

While we were on the road, Jeanne texted, “Praying that all the angels and Saints accompany you on your travels as you weather this storm, led by our Lady of Prompt Succor and ⭐️ Our Lady Star of the Sea. ⭐️ May St. Joseph protect your precious family.” She did not know about my vision.

When we got to Jeanne’s guest condo, the first thing I saw was my painting of the Flight into Egypt (how appropriate!), which she had purchased earlier this year. And when we got upstairs, there was a tray of homemade muffins with a star in the middle filled with popcorn! ⭐️

We ended up moving to her house because we needed one more bed for my niece, and there in the living room was another large star. ⭐️ We have since put Grace on a plane home to Ohio and moved back to the condo, where we discovered even more stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Why were we led out of harm’s way and not others? It’s certainly not because Our Lady loves us more than her other children. I think it was simply to keep the rosary going. We have hundreds of people praying with us at 6 am CT every weekday morning, and hundreds more pray with the recording later in the day. That only continued because we had power and internet in FL. ⭐️

Nine days later we returned home, and the internet came back on just as we walked in the door, the rosary not skipping a day. There was a ton of cleanup to do, but we were all safe and grateful for the protection.

The bottom line? Cast all your anxieties on Jesus, because he cares for you. (1 Pet 5:7). And stay close to his (and your) Mama. Just as she cared for him during his earthly life, so does she care for you. ⭐️ We’ll get through the storms together, friends. Let’s take good care of each other. And I hope you’ll become part of our morning rosary family—it’s a beautiful group of people from all over the world, united under the mantle of Our Mother in unified prayer.

DETAILS: M-F, 6:00-6:45 am CT. New rosary meditations every day!

Dear Friends,

After a generous break, we will be starting our next book study on In the School of the Holy Spirit by Fr. Jacques Philippe on Monday, May 10, 2021, LIVE at 7 am CT on Instagram.  I’ll be posting the videos after the fact to Instagram and YouTube for those of you who aren’t able to join us live.

As usual, though I have been given permission by Scepter Publishers to read the entire book on the air, everyone is asked to purchase their own copy of the book at www.scepterpublishers.org or from your local Catholic bookstore (or Amazon as a last resort). This book is a treasure you will want to underline, highlight, and comment on in the margins!

I also found this free Study Guide online if you would like to go deeper with a small prayer/study group. Let’s get ready for an amazing Pentecost by getting to know more deeply this Sweet Guest of our souls!

Come, Holy Spirit!

Kitty

 

 

April 26, 2017; Several years ago, I sought spiritual direction from a priest in New Orleans who happens to have many mystical gifts. When I walked into the room, he said, “I see Our Lady of Good Counsel with you.” This is a centuries-old title for the Blessed Virgin Mary with a miraculous image associated with it. I was unfamiliar with the image, but when I returned home I realized that the icon hanging in my bedroom, which had been brought to me by my sister Caroline as a souvenir from Italy, was indeed Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Shortly thereafter, I gave a concert in Pensacola, FL. A delightful woman named Sara Edwards gifted me with a beautiful blue pearl and crystal necklace that she had made for me. Sara said that she usually adds a medal of St. Therese, but something told her that I needed Our Lady of Good Counsel! I think she was trying to get my attention. As my friend Katsey put it, Our Lady was just letting me know that she’s always here for me.

And then in September of 2018, I needed a birthday gift for a special friend, and I wanted it to be meaningful to her. As I prayed to Mother Mary for guidance, I instantly saw an image of Our Lady of Good Counsel in watercolor, a medium I don’t work in. After digging around in my daughter’s art supplies, I found what I needed and began to draw with watercolor pencils. I held my breath when I had to add the water, but it revealed a sweetness and tenderness that I came to love.

My friend appreciated the gift, and then it ended up on the cover of Religious LifeMagazine, which is sent to 2500 religious and every bishop in the U.S. They received it right before their general counsel to discuss the scandals caused by clergy in the Catholic Church–perfect timing for Our Lady of Good Counsel to land in their chanceries!

Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Do you need some wise, loving advice from your heavenly mother? Turn to her. She is always, always waiting for you. For more information about the miraculous image: www.clavermissionarysisters.org/?page_id=289. To purchase 11×14 matted and signed prints of My painting of Our Lady of Good Counsel, please visit my Etsy shop.

Dear Friends,

This Friday, April 2, 2021, starts the powerful Divine Mercy novena. As many of you know, our family experienced a Divine Mercy miracle when my father was released from unjust imprisonment (more than seven years early!) during the Great Jubilee year of 2000. I had been doing the Divine Mercy novena for that particular intention, and he was released at 3 o’clock p.m.–the Hour of Mercy!–on the Thursday after Easter Sunday, three days before the first official Feast of Divine Mercy and the day of St. Faustina’s canonization. What a miracle of Mercy! Do you need a miracle right now? The floodgates of mercy will be open on Sunday, April 11th, and I want you to get “drenched” along with me!

Jesus told St. Faustina: “I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary, 1209).

My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and a shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day are opened all the divine floodgates through which graces flow. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My mercy. (Diary, 699).

(UPDATE: The retreat is sold out. Please subscribe to the blog to be notified about future events!)

Hey, ladies! Grab some friends and join me for a day of inspiration and fun on May 1st at the beautiful Frassati House in Baton Rouge.

We’ll start our day with Mass at 9 am, followed by talks by Sr. Dulce and me, plus a catered lunch and great shopping (I’m bringing my art and music!). In the afternoon I’ll lead us all in singing the Divine Mercy chaplet, followed by a wine and cheese social at the end. Only a limited number of tickets is being sold, so I would encourage you to register ASAP. Hope to see you there!

Hello, dear friends! Thanks to all of you who have purchased one of the signed and numbered canvas prints of my painting of the Holy Family. It was not only a blessing to paint it this week in commemoration of the Solemnity of St. Joseph in this year of St. Joseph, but the response was a true answer to prayer (we are more than 2/3rds sold out!). If you would like to see the full image, you can find the listing here on Etsy. Should you want one for yourself or a loved one, I’m also happy to write a special date on the back for you (consecration day, First Communion, graduation, birthday, etc.).

With gratitude and joy,

 

“Heavenly Father, in the name of your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, I renounce Satan and all his works, all forms of witchcraft, the use of divination, the practice of sorcery, dealing with mediums, channeling with spirit guides, the Ouija board, tarot cards, astrology, Reiki, hypnosis, automatic writing, horoscopes, numerology, the Enneagram, all types of fortune telling, palm readings, New Age spirituality, and anything else associated with the occult or Satan. In the name of Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, and by the power of his Cross, his Precious Blood, and his Resurrection, I renounce and forsake my involvement in all of them, and I choose you alone, Lord Jesus. I confess all these sins before you and ask you to cleanse and forgive me for my divided heart. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to come into my heart, give me your merciful love, and make me holy. I ask you to send forth your Holy Spirit to baptize me with love, just as you baptized your disciples on the day of Pentecost. I thank you, Heavenly Father, for strengthening my inner spirit with the power of your Holy Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in my heart. Through faith, rooted and grounded in love, may I be able to comprehend with all the saints, the breadth, length, height and depth of Christ’s love which surpasses all understanding. Amen!”
