The Transfiguration Of The Lord
ON THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD Originally published by Blessed Is She I will never forget that ecstatic feeling, as we sat on top of “First”, the minor summit above Grindelwald, Switzerland.

HEALING AFTER INFERTILITY Originally published by Blessed Is She “Am I going to continue to trust God, even if He never fulfills the longings of my heart?” The news devastated me.

My journey to Catholicism has been long and wrecked with confusion. Among many things, Mary was a big deal. I struggled with Our Lady’s place in the life of the […]
