I heard you sing at Amie Hubbell’s wedding last weekend and was blown away by your gorgeous voice! I comented about it to Kathy Hubbell, and she quickly gave me your website (off the top of her head!) Also talked to Lauren Lagarde about you and she convinced me that I need ALL of your […]

discovered you last week researching which version of Ave Maria to buy from iTunes (guess who won!). Everytime I come to your site I read something else that brings me to the edge of blubbering (and I’m a 45 year old guy!). You got to my soft spot, that’s for sure. I am the leader […]

Hi Kitty – I don’t know if you remember me – I met you in Pheonix at the Unity Award show. It was my first experience with the ucmva and I went with Dave Wang who sings for Critical Mass – the band I play in as well. I was the dopy guy with spiked […]

Kitty, on a trip to Lake Tahoe last month, my husband and I visited the little St. Mary’s in the Mountains Catholic Church in Virginia City, NV, and your “Sacred Arias” CD was playing in the sanctuary. We were captivated, bought it there and played it in the car all the way back to our […]

What’s Your Word?

I love asking the Holy Spirit to give me a word to guide my new year, which usually ends up being some kind of virtue that needs cultivating in my life: discipline, docility (teachability), etc.

This New Year’s Eve morning, before I even had a chance to pray, I awoke with the Latin word “sapientia” repeating in my mind. I realized that this was my “word” from God, though I couldn’t remember what it meant exactly and had to look it up.

(Drumroll…)

It means “wisdom,” (I can always use more of that!) and it is considered the first and greatest of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit received at baptism. According to St. Bernard, it both illumines the mind and instills an attraction to the divine.

So how do I grow in wisdom if it is a gift? I can think of only one way: By spending more time with the gift-giver. 💗

I encourage you to pray for a word to guide you in the new year. Please feel free to share it below!

P.S. As I looked for an image for this post, I came across this one from McEwan Hall at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland—where I went to school! God is so fun.
