After a particularly difficult Confession of mine, a priest said, "Never be ashamed of what you bring to Confession. When I see someone in the confessional, I see a saint in the making."
I don't know who needs to hear that, but there it is.

A grandmother brought a young child into our chapel and said, “Do you see the statue of St. Joseph? It says, ‘Foster Father of Jesus.’ Jesus has a foster father and was adopted just like you!”

This week I had a conversation with a young woman that began with her asking me if I hated gay people because I'm Catholic and ended with her asking what steps she would need to take to enter the Church.
Lead with the love of God. Always.

Hey friends!
This is my baby sister, Chloe. She’s 15 now. A few years ago she was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and she’s one of the strongest people I know.
She’s having a pretty big surgery tomorrow. Would you please say a prayer for her?

I love Jesus. A lot.
But I was assaulted in a church.
And right now with the healing that Jesus is doing, I can’t enter a church building.
That hurts. But the reality is, clenching my jaw and wanting to power through it is pride.
Jesus, I need you. Jesus, I trust in you.

The little altar server at Mass today got super lost and rang the consecration bells at several random points during the Eucharistic Prayer and I can't help but think that it made Jesus smile so big.

Hey y’all, I have a prayer request.

Did you know that if you're struggling with serious mental health issues, you can request the anointing of the sick? 10/10 would recommend. Sacramental grace is real.

Notre Dame is not just a building.
The Bible is not just a book.
The Euharist is not just bread.
The Cross is not just an instrument of death.
That’s a sacramental worldview.

I’m 23 years old. I have family and friends. I’ve seen all of The Office, Parks and Rec, and Gilmore Girls. I love craft beer and pizza. I run and often dance to the songs I have stuck in my head.
God called me to enter religious life. Is He calling you?

2 years ago today I took a step of trust and left the convent, where I had spent the best years of my life.
My dad came and picked me up. The sisters lined up and gave me hugs, promising their prayers and that we would always be sisters.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

When Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, she hoped to find the dead body of Jesus so that she could care for it.

No. I entered the convent because this is where God called me. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Discerning out of religious life can be complicated, but I am incredibly certain of a few things:
