Keeping an Eternal Perspective in Life and Death

life and death

Do you ever struggle in the journey of trying to stay healthy? I find myself fluctuating between two resolutions: avoid all unhealthy foods and exercise every day to try your best to eat healthy but don’t become obsessed with what you eat and…

What was St. Therese of Lisieux really like? Liste

What was St. Therese of Lisieux really like? Listen to one of the most vivid portraits ever given of our patroness, from a Carmelite sister with whom she lived in the convent, St. Marie of the Angels.

As we celebrate her Feast Day today, October 1, we invoke her intercession. One way to do that is to pray the Chaplet of St. Therese.

The Chaplet is composed of 24 beads representing her 24 years of life, each with a “Glory Be” to thank God for her, plus an opening prayer to her for intercession. It is often prayed as a 9- or 24-day novena, with promises of receiving a mystical rose as a sign of answered prayers.

The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel is a Cath

The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel is a Catholic devotion honoring St. Michael and the 9 Choirs of Angels as revealed to a Portuguese Carmelite nun, Servant of God Antónia d’Astónaco, in the 18th century.
This devotion grew widely, and 100 years later, Pope Pius IX officially approved it.

Learn about the 3 things St. Michael promised to those who faithfully recite it.

It doesn’t matter if you start late in the day, like me, what matters is that we begin! On the 22nd we begin our 9-day novena to St. Therese of Lisieux, our patroness, whose feast day we will celebrate on October 1st.

If you’re signed up for our email list, the link to the FREE Download on our website with an explanation of this devotion. You can also get that in our shop, littlewithgreatlove.com/shop

I hope you’ll join me in praying for whatever intention is pressed on your heart through this beautiful 9-day devotion to invoke the intercession of the Little Flower.

How do I know prayer works?

Five days ago I had major surgery, laparoscopic. My doctor performed a Hysterectomy and removed Endometriosis that I suspected…

I stayed overnight in the Hospital and came home on Friday.

Today was my first work, and little outing with my Hubby. How did I do?

What a week! From an unexpected Anointing of the Sick on our way home from Colorado, to pre-op, surgery, post-op, hospital stay amidst hundreds of prayers, Masses, meetings, messages—even worldwide, a post-op pillow delivery, meals…

On this feast of our Patroness Mother Teresa of Calcutta, I’m grateful for the big and small ways we have been shown great love all throughout this journey. Now the healing has begun, as I rest!

I say all the time how blessed we are to know the best people. I’m offering prayers of gratitude and abundance for all who are praying, caring, and supporting us as I take the next 4-6 weeks to recover 🙏🏼❤️

It’s my parent’s wedding anniversary today. I firs

It’s my parent’s wedding anniversary today. I first learned what love is and what it isn’t from these two becoming one….

From the obituary I wrote 15 years ago for my mom: “After graduating from Allen Park High School and working as a Secretary, [Eve Marie] met her Sweetheart, Richard Sanchez, during a summer camping trip. The couple was married the following year on August 19, 1967 at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Melvindale, Michigan.

Married for 43 years, Eve & Richard raised their 4 dear children, Paul, Jeffrey, Christopher and Lisa over the years in Inkster, Livonia, and finally in Dearborn, Michigan. Possessing a true servant’s heart, Eve faithfully cared for family and friends through delicious cooking/baking from scratch – including cake decorating, sewing and crafting.

A woman of faith and the heart of the Sanchez family, Eve shaped their spirituality by her tireless Christian example, and also through various Catholic Charismatic prayer groups and activities. With a real zest for life, Mrs. Sanchez loved to dance, write, read, pray, bowl, play games/cards – especially with her Grandchildren, chat with friends and family, and travel…just to name a few.”

From the obituary I wrote for my dad 7 years ago: “Married 43 years, Richard cared for his dear wife and four children throughout his life, including the two rounds of Eve’s cancer until it claimed her life in January of 2011. After his health began to decline in 2017, he moved in August of that year to Austin, Texas to be closer to one of his children, Lisa, and her husband, Mike.

A man of abiding faith through many hardships, Richard and Eve were members of various Catholic prayer groups. He instilled his beliefs in their children and made an impact on many through his wisdom, counsel, encouragement, prayer, and witness. His stories, humor, and thoughtfulness endeared him to others.“

Happy Solemnity of the Assumption! On this speci

Happy Solemnity of the Assumption!

On this special day, may Our Lady wrap you in her mantle, lead you ever closer to her Son, and teach you the beautiful freedom of a heart that can say yes to whatever God is asking of YOU.

Mary's story is filled with moments when she had to trust God without knowing what would happen next.
At the Annunciation, she gave her fiat, or yes, with the littlest “need-to-know” details from the Angel Gabriel.
Yet, at the Visitation, she carried Jesus to her cousin Elizabeth, who in her “old age” was miraculously six months pregnant, with her son’s forerunner, St. John the Baptist.
At Bethlehem, she trusted God through such a difficult journey to give birth in, shall we say, “far less than sanitary” conditions.
At the foot of the Cross, she remained when everything appeared lost to every other human on the planet at that time.
And now, in the Assumption, we see the beautiful culmination of her earthly pilgrimage.

Mary's life was not free from suffering or uncertainty. It was filled with faithfulness in the midst of both.

May we follow her example, growing in the virtues that the whole Holy Family embodies.

Sometimes healing begins with putting pen to paper

Sometimes healing begins with putting pen to paper. ✍️

Journaling has been shown to help us process emotions, reduce stress, organize our thoughts, and create a safe space to reflect on what we’re carrying.

But for me, journaling became something much deeper.

As a child experiencing severe, hidden trauma, there were things I didn’t know how to say. I couldn’t say. Had no idea how to process.

So I wrote.

Page after page, I began putting words to things I couldn’t speak out loud. My journal became a safe place. A place where I could tell the truth without fear of being interrupted, dismissed, or misunderstood.

In a season when the enemy tried made me feel voiceless, the written word helped preserve my voice.

Looking back, I now realize those pages weren’t just a record of thoughts, people, places… things I was going through.

My journals served as evidence that somewhere inside me, there was still a little girl whose story mattered.

That’s one of the gifts of journaling:

It gives the parts of us that have been silenced somewhere to speak.

You don’t have to be a writer.
You don’t need perfect words.
You don’t even have to know where to begin.

Maybe start with: “Well, today bit it…” or, “I’m going through it, and I’m still grateful for…”

And let the page hold the rest. ❤️ Now, go grab @whispersofloveandfaith “My Lord & My God Journal on Amazon
