What's Been Keeping Us Busy

Daily Mass whenever possible

Homeschooling

Going to a friend's daughter's wedding

Elizabeth likes to dance and Finnian is usually willing to accompany her.

Celebrating birthdays

Eating birthday cake and ice cream.

Visiting with our pastor and friends

Sports practices and games (Soccer ended on Saturday and basketball started two weeks ago.)

Piano lessons, practice, playing a piece for a "master teacher", and recitals

Violin lessons, practice, and a recital

As the children participate in activities, I am trying to remind them to keep their focus on what is most important: knowing, loving, and serving God.

"One thing is certain: When the time has come, nothing which is man-made will subsist. One day, all human accomplishments will be reduced to a pile of ashes. But every single child to whom a woman has given birth will live forever, for he has been given an immortal soul made to God's image and likeness."

  1. Hello! I was googleing the "Remember, O Christian Soul" prayer and it took me to your blog, so I went to your "about us" tab and saw the picture you have there. By any chance is the priest in the picture Fr. Saguto?

  2. Hi Mary,
    Yes, it is Fr. Saguto. I am assuming you found the prayer, but if not, it can be found here.
