A Word of Encouragement from St. Faustina

When I look into the future,
I am frightened.
But why plunge into
the future?
Only the present moment
is precious to me,
As the future may never
enter my soul at all.
It is no longer in my power,
To change, correct or
add to the past;
For neither sages
nor prophets could do that.
And so, what the past
has embraced
I must entrust to God.
O present moment,
you belong to me,
whole and entire.
I desire to use you as best I can.
And although I am weak and small,
You grant me the grace of your omnipotence.
And so, trusting in Your mercy,
I walk through life like a little child,
Offering You each day this heart
Burning with love for Your greater glory.
St. Faustina (Diary 2)

NEW Book Study on Prayer Started Today–Join Us!

 

Do you want to pray but struggle to do so? If so, join me for our new LIVE book study, Time for God by Fr. Jacques Philippe. This is another small and practical but power-packed book that changes lives! Be sure to get your highlighters and journals ready. We started this morning and will continue to meet on weekday mornings from 7-7:30 am CT on Instagram (@kittycleveland).  I will be singing an opening song, reading from the book, and commenting on it for about 30 minutes a day, M-F, till we’re done. I’m hoping to finish before Advent begins and to then start Reed of God by Caryll Houselander.

When we’re finished each day, I’ll upload the video both to my Instagram channel and to my YouTube channel if you’d like to watch later in the day or share it with others.

You can purchase the book at your local Catholic bookstore or online at Scepter Publishing. Many thanks to Scepter for allowing me to read from the book. Finally, please share this with your friends so we can journey together!

Yours,

 

 

Ordering Rosaries Made from Blessed Roses

How blessed we were on October 7, 2020, when we came together–both in person and virtually–to formally consecrate ourselves to Jesus through Mary after doing the 54-day rosary novena and the online 33 Days to Morning Glory retreat. And, oh, the roses! What glory! I’m thrilled to tell you that we have chosen a special artisan to craft our “signature rosary” out of the blessed rose petals. It will feature pale pink Hail Mary beads with pearl Our Father beads, and it will have a beautiful nickel silver crucifix and center medallion (with a rose charm attached, as well). These are heirloom rosaries made to last.

Each rosary is $125 (tax and shipping included), and they will be sent to you in the order that payments are received.  You may order up to four rosaries.

To send payment:

  1. Venmo–The best way is to send your payment is via www.Venmo.com (or the Venmo app) to @Kitty-Cleveland.
  2. Check–You can mail a check payable to Christiaria, LLC at PO Box 843, Madisonville, LA 70447.

No matter how you send payment, please include your mailing AND email address! The first 50 should be going out in December and January. Some will be delivered into February if you are in the second batch of 50.

God bless and keep you! I love our little rosary family,

 

A Great Shipwreck? By Mark Mallett

NOTE: As of this morning, October 22, 2020, it looks like Pope Francis’ words were (once again) mistranslated and taken out of context.  More details at this link on Instagram.

UPDATE (October 23, 2020): But then there’s this from Argentinan Archbishop Fernandez, which says he was not mistranslated. What a mess! Lord, have mercy on us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, friends.
