I love tea! High tea, scones and clotted cream, tea parties, tea sandwiches, cookies, 3-tiered stands. Time to stop and breathe. One of my two-year-old grandsons sets up tea parties for his kitty critters. It got me thinking. Https://www.arisedaily.com.

Be bold, be courageous, say grace. This summer I tried to be more aware of saying grace. I said it for every meal and when I went out to eat. In doing this, I realized that I was actually kind of embarrassed to say it in public. I was trying to hide making the sign of the cross and muffling my blessing under my breath. Do any of you ever feel like this? Do any of you ever feel embarrassed to share your faith in public? As I started to say grace more and more often, the embarrassment subsided. It’s not completely gone, but it has decreased greatly. It’s important to say grace for every meal. It reminds us of who gave us the sustenance in front of us, thanks God for it, and asks Him to bless it for us. Have you ever been embarrassed to show your faith? #catholic #cc #catholicchurch #christian #catholicchristian #christianity#faith #religion #catholicwoman #Jesus #God #food #foodandfaith #lilliandora_blog #catholicreligion #catholiconline #catholicinstagram #christianinstagram #bible #catechism #catholicism #romancatholic #catholicbeliefs #inspire #grace #thanksgiving #gracebeforemeals #bold #courageous (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwMzvynsoy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1peuy81s19wyy

Who wouldn't listen to a professional in his own field? We all do it for good reason! — And how much more is it worth it to listen to the saints?! Those who lived just like us, some worse than us and then opened their hearts to Christ and the Blessed Mother and became such great teachers and vessels of the Lord and His Love, Grace, Mercy, and Wisdom. — This week we will be diving into the importance of spiritual reading, it's long-term benefits, and the graces one receives through reading the lives of the saints! — — #Catholic #Lent #CatholicInstagram #Cuaresma #HolyMarriages #HolyFamilies #Hungry4Holiness #HolyMatrimony #Holy #Marriage  #Instagood #Instaphotos #Instapray #Instagreat #Praying #PrayingForFamilies #PrayingCouples #Pray #CatholicHelpmate #LentenHelpmate #BibleVerse #Catechism #Love #Couple #Photooftheday #Saints #Saint https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLCHAinEhR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e1kkezdr1kv7

"Take courage!" The Lord says, give or take 365 times in the Bible. Once for every day of the year! — We still have challenges ourselves with a threenager and a oneteen year old. 😂😂😂 But we want to encourage you to STAY THE COURSE. It's for the benefit of your own souls as well as your children's souls. Our goals as parents, marriages, and Catholics in general is to help each other get to Heaven! How zealous are we about doing so? Is the flame dim, just barely lit, or are we truly trying to fan the flame for it to grow with each passing day? — St. Paul tells us, "Today is the day of salvation!' 2 Corinthians 6:2. Today is the day that you say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, you tell Satan and all of his demons to flee your home, your lives, and your souls because you were purchased at a price and you will not trade the sun for a measly candle. It is time proclaim CHRISTUS REX, CHRIST IS KING of your life, your spouse, your family. It is time to stand up and take up arms against the wickedness and snares of the Devil and his pawns in society trying to destroy the family. — PRAY, FAMILIES, PRAY! — — #Catholic #Lent #CatholicInstagram #Cuaresma #HolyMarriages #HolyFamilies #Hungry4Holiness #HolyMatrimony #Holy #Marriage  #Instagood #Instaphotos #Instapray #Instagreat #Praying #PrayingForFamilies #PrayingCouples #Pray #CatholicHelpmate #LentenHelpmate #BibleVerse #Catechism #Love #Couple #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFfnAtnQ1a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b2gvinb2yaiw

IT 👏🏽 STARTS 👏🏽 AT 👏🏽 HOME 👏🏽 — Recognize, families, that you are your children's first and most important catechists and teachers of the Faith. You've heard it said, children are like sponges 🧽 and they soak in all that they hear and see. So, if they see and hear you cussing, yelling, and fighting, guess what they're gonna grow up to do? But if they see you praying persistently, speaking, and acting with charity, reading Scripture, going to Mass, etc, guess what they're gonna most likely do? — Most especially you, fathers and heads of your households, YOU are the ultimate catechist and teacher. Studies and statistics all say that if the father isn't present in the children's lives, and if he is but doesn't go to church, the children will have a great difficulty practicing the Faith nor become virtuous adults. They will grow up troubled and with relationship problems of all kinds. — That is why we started this page, to help couples and families recognize the importance of prayer in the home. We ourselves grew up in homes where God was almost inexistent, most especially prayer and Mass attendance. — So, father and mother, PRAY 👏🏽 AT 👏🏽 HOME 👏🏽. Make it a priority to start praying as a couple AND as a family. We are the core of society, and if the core is rotten, the entire society will cease to exist. — #Catholic #Lent #CatholicInstagram #Cuaresma #HolyMarriages #HolyFamilies #Hungry4Holiness #HolyMatrimony #Holy #Marriage  #Instagood #Instaphotos #Instapray #Instagreat #Praying #PrayingForFamilies #PrayingCouples #Pray #CatholicHelpmate #LentenHelpmate #BibleVerse #Catechism #Love #Couple #Photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDBU4dnNsd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5d11ux9mh2o3

We schedule 📆 everything in our lives, what time ⏰ we wake up, what time we head out the door, our lunch time, our time to head home... our life is full of schedules, times set aside to fulfill a task, but when was the last time you penciled in prayer 🙏🏽 time with your spouse??? — This is the greatest of all tasks to fulfill! Our whole vocation in marriage 👩‍❤️‍👨 calls us to praise God with our whole being, the moment our marriage is consecrated to God, it does not end! We must renew this consecration regularly through our prayers. — I know it's what we don't wanna hear, especially with children, but let us not be fixated on a "Date Night" 🕯️🍽️🕯️ if we haven't figured out a prayer time. Unless your date includes Mass or Adoration, it won't be satisfying. — NOTHING can fix all the struggles in a marriage like praying together. At a time when the world is persecuting the true meaning of marriage we must be living our Catholic marriages so that we can be witnesses of Our Lord's Love, Grace, Mercy, and Truth thus, impacting and changing the world. — #Catholic #Lent #CatholicInstagram #Cuaresma #HolyMarriages #HolyFamilies #Hungry4Holiness #HolyMatrimony #Holy #Marriage  #Instagood #Instaphotos #Instapray #Instagreat #Praying #PrayingForFamilies #PrayingCouples #Pray #BibleVerse #DateNight https://www.instagram.com/p/BvA4IbwHhhp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=163r1j31qqfpi

Washing dishes and growing in virtue?! 🤔 Can you even imagine such a thing? ••• I have to admit that the dishes were never the most exciting part of the day. I would always think of how many prayers I could have been saying in front of our home altar, or at Adoration, and it would make me irritated that the dishes would pile up. I remember even having minimalists tell me to donate the dishes and save myself some time! They didn't understand that I had to conquer my dishes to conquer my own selfish appetite. Doing the dishes is a service of #Love, just as much as cooking for my husband and for my family is. I enjoy washing the dishes now because I have turned it into a #Prayer and a labor of Love. Jesus Christ has blessed us with a roof over our heads, food on our plate, and yes, even the dishes in our sink! ••• When we pray while performing the jobs and tasks of the day we begin to love the tasks we once disliked for the sake of Christ Our Love. So, whatever task or job you have to perform this day, make sure to wrap it in prayer and place it at the foot of the throne!  — #Catholic #Lent #CatholicInstagram #Cuaresma #HolyMarriages #HolyFamilies #Hungry4Holiness #HolyMatrimony #Holy #Marriage #Instagood #Instaphotos #Instapray #Instagreat #Praying #PrayingForFamilies #PrayingCouples #Pray #CatholicHelpmate #LentenHelpmate #Bible https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7g5Y9HgGk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2xn0scgga87p

Virtue #2: Gentle and kind. Gentleness and kindness can go a long way in showing people Christ’s love and warmth. Practicing these virtues also gave me more insight into Mary’s gentle and kind nature. ❤️❤️❤️ Kindness can be shown so many little and beautiful ways, such as opening the door open for the person after you or smiling at someone walking down the street. 😊 It can also be incredibly difficult when faced with adversity or when we encounter someone we’re not too fond of. 😔 Either way, kindness is essential in spreading the joy of Christ and, in being Christian, it is essential that we live out this joy through our thoughts, words, and actions. 🌞😄❤️ How do you show gentleness and kindness? . . . #catholic #cc #catholicchurch #christian #catholicchristian #christianity #faith #religion #catholicwoman #Jesus #God #food #foodandfaith #lilliandora_blog #catholicreligion #catholiconline #catholicinstagram #christianinstagram #bible #catechism #catholicism #romancatholic #catholicbeliefs #inspire #virtue #femininity #catholicwomanhood #virtuechallenge #christianwoman #catholicfeminist (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BneKaRWgQz0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mb0cvhzqnq3y

Today’s blog post is about inviting the Holy Family to eat with you. What better way to represent this than with a picture of the Holy Family church in Egypt. This church was built on top of the place that the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary, and Joseph) are said to have lived when they fled to Egypt to escape Long Herod. My dad went to Egypt a couple of weeks ago and took this picture while he was there. So cool!!!!
