Daily Prayers

Many asked for this printable that I’ve shared here to various degrees. It is a printable that we use for our morning devotions. Each child also has their own copy.

Morning prayers should comprise adoration of the Divine Majesty, thanksgiving for His protection during the night, and consecration of the day to God’s service.

Each day, as it comes, may be the last one of our earthly lives. We should, therefore, try to keep it free from sin and fill it with good works, fruitful unto life eternal. To this end, we must purpose to please our Heavenly Father and implore His help and blessing for the day.

During the school year, we pray our morning devotions as a family with my husband leading. We don’t keep a 6 am rise for (some of) our children during the summer but we do maintain morning devotions.

Each child will work to refine their Rule of Life for the Summer and Dad will have the final approval. They also get to write out their Summer Bucket List — things they would like to do during the “downtime.” It will be a short season for us since we’re stopping formal studies in mid-June. But I’m sure they will find a way to cram in as much as possible — a simple non-extracurricular summer is what we’re going for this year.

How about you? Do you pray as a family in the morning? What type of summer are you looking to have this year?

GIVEAWAY: A Children’s Missal

by Filed Under: Book Review, Giveaway, Holy Mass, Missal, Uncategorized Leave a Comment

A GIVEAWAY in honor of the blessed feast of the Sacred Heart!!!

Such a gem as this did not exist when most of my children were little. I’m so thankful that it’s available now and look forward to using it for our home studies of the Holy Mass and preparation for Sundays.

The images are absolutely stunning — calming with subdued colors and rich with detail. The book size and weight are perfect for little hands — not too big or heavy to hold and not too small that it is hard to read or see images. But my favorite part is that it uses the Fr. Lasance Missal, pre-1955 Holy Mass. ➕

If you’re looking to add to your home library, study the Holy Mass, or in need of a “starter” missal for a little one in your life, this is for you!

You may order from @tanbooks. Use code JOYFILLED15 for a discount.

Under Our Lady’s Mantle

by Filed Under: Altar Guild, Archbishop Vigano, Our Lady of Bethlehem Leave a Comment

We fight to maintain the Catholic Faith of all time — in the true priesthood, in the true Mass, in the true sacraments, and the same catechism, with the same Bible.

We pray for the grace to battle on
for the reign of Christ the King and to be protected under Our Lady’s mantle. May we not compromise at any cost but follow holy shepherds (however few there may be) who are leading the way.

We are not “sick of nostalgia,” because we are not — and we ought not be — of the world, but rather in the world.

Because the words of Our Lord are not subject to fashions or the passage of time: veritas Domini manet in æternum.

We do not long for a distant era, a golden age gone by, because we know well that the battle between Christ and Satan that began in the earthly Paradise is destined to continue and to intensify the closer comes, inexorably, the redde rationem of the last times, which will see the Archangel St. Michael drive Satan and his minions back, for the second time and forever, into the abyss.

Ours is not an attachment to the past, but rather to what is eternal.

It is not a way of escaping the challenges of the present by taking refuge in an oasis of aestheticism, because if it were so — and it is, as we know, for some so-called conservative communities — we would be guilty of trading form for substance, compromising on principles in order to preserve their external appearances. #archbishopvigano
