A blog for Catholicism including memes, music, art and anything else beautiful the Church provides. I'm Joan (alias for safety) and I am a 27-year-old revert to (Traditional) Catholicism. My patron Saint is St. Francis of Assisi. I strive to be like him, and to be like St. Catherine of Siena, only because they strove to be like Christ. This blog is property of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

HALT
Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired
If you are any of the four or a combination of them, MEET YOUR NEEDS before making big decisions, before giving in to cravings from your addiction, before making a post you'll regret later,
don't let your thoughts take over and tell you everything sucks and you might as well die. Eat food, address and express your anger or maybe pray, call a friend or a family member or even a hotline and GET SOME REST.
Every problem looks bigger when you aren't taking care of yourself
Hopefully this fast food burger and chocolate malk shake helps my headache
#i have gotten really good at knowing when my blood sugar is low#it is a very specific level of irritability#also i use the HALT rule together with never trusting my thoughts when im on my period#also sorry for taking over your post OP you just inspired me

Praying for someone is such an amazing thing and such an act of love. I love my friends and family so much that every single day, I go before the Most High and ask Him to grant protection and love on them.
And vice versa. They may not be able to change my circumstances directly, but even just the words "i'm praying for you" are so loving. They are willing and excited to go before the King of Kings for me. Their friend, their child, their sibling.
I get emotional thinking about how beautiful prayer is

Deuteronomy 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words"
I've fantasized about sitting at the Lords' feet like Mary very often, so this is nice.
New rule everyone in the us is assigned a different Bible verse to be theirs. I'm tired of everyone signing their emails off with Joshua 24:15. Some of y'all are going to have to settle for a begat to hang on your wall alongside your "live laugh love" woodcut. Sorry

Today I’m going to be ranking all of the Catholic Church’s attempts to appeal to young people.
Luce
Saint Dominic Salvio
The Blessed (and soon to be canonized) Carlo Acutis
[REDACTED]
As you can see, the data is clear. Luce is the greatest outreach the Church in Rome has attempted thus far. May she bring many to the Lord.

Please pray for my great-aunt M. The cancer is not responding to medicine and she will be moving to hospice care. Her doctor gave her 1-3 months.
She has asked for prayers for the nausea to go away and for peace of mind.
I also ask for prayers for final perseverance for her so that she may keep the grace she has prayed so long and hard for me to have and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Reblog and tell me what your favorite animal is and why
I love blue whales. When I started SCUBA diving I had a dream that I encountered one while on a dive and ever since then it's something that for some reason gives me peace to think about.
