Pilgrim's Feet

 Hey guys! Even though the month is already in full swing, I thought I'd share what I've been doing to celebrate the different feast days for October. First of all, though, I'd just like to say that things are always better when you're not the only one doing them! My best friend has gotten into celebrating the Liturgical Year and they have not only reminded me of why I love celebrating it, but have also inspired me to seek to do it in special, little ways. And so, here's what I've done this month (and yes, for one of the first times, I've actually done it all so far 😄): October 1 - Saint Therese of Lisieux: Pray the Litany of Saint Therese* and make three sacrifices October 2 - Feast of the Guardian Angels: Eat angel food cake (Much thanks to my friend for sharing theirs with me!) October 4 - Saint Francis: Pray the Prayer to be an Instrument of Peace, do something to bear witness to Christ through my actions and not just my words October 5 - Saint Faustina...

 Hello everyone! It sure has been a while since last I posted (I'm started to detect a theme here... 😜). I am back at university and boy have things been busy! But a good busy. However, rather than give you an update on how I've been, I wanted to share this thought with you: Small acts of charity (such as holding the door open for someone, or buying your family member or friend whose had a rough day their favorite treat) and sacrifice (such as eating what's served at the cafeteria rather than buying take-out or not buying a pumpkin spice latte) act as leaven in the world and help to order all things according to God's Will. In this way, then, not only do our lives become one continual prayer and offering to God (which reminds me of Opus Dei) but we are also fulfilling our duty as lay people in the Church according to Lumen Gentium.  This is something I have been thinking about recently, and I thought I'd share. And so, let's go leaven it up! Until next time!  A...
