What Others Are Saying about the “Be Not Afraid” CD

And, as such, it’s difficult to pick favorites since it’s the kind of record that can be played repeatedly, from the first track to the last, without […]
I love my friends!
The Be Not Afraid CD release concert was a true joy. What a gift to have so many friends come to share this special evening with me. Thanks to my special guests: Fr. Kenny Allen (piano), my husband Mel Rogers (piano and flute), and my mom Joey Cleveland (background vocals). Also thanks to Fr. John Talamo, […]

Singing for the Pope

Kitty’s FREE Online Advent Retreat Starts Monday, November 29th! (Registration link below)
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
