One of the writers I am in awe of is Melanie Rigney. She's talented, prolific and generous of her time. Once I asked her how she does it and she told me she prays to the Holy Spirit. Lord have mercy, it never occurred to me!
My inspiration definitely comes from reading others (Heather King is another favoirte of mine), but I often forget to pray and receive some divine intervention. I'm going to try and rectify that in the future and please do pray for me!
Here's a prayer to St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of writers:
May the Lord guide me and all those who write for a living. Through your prayers, St. Frances de Sales, I ask for your intercession as I attempt to bring the written word to the world. Let us pray that God takes me in the palm of His hand and inspires my creativity and inspires my success. St. Francis de Sales, you understand the dedication required in this profession. Pray for God to inspire and allow ideas to flow. In His name, let my words reflect my faith for others to read. Amen.
My name is Pam Spano and I converted to the Catholic faith as an adult over 30 years ago. My conversion story started when I sarcastically said to my Catholic boyfriend at the time, "I suppose if we were to get married, you would want me to convert." He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I am worried about your soul." I suddenly realized that maybe I should be worried about my soul and so the journey began. That boyfriend and I have been married 33 years.
I started blogging at ChicagoNow nearly four years ago. Being Catholic ... Really grew from the many conversations I've had with family and friends about our faith. It's been quite a ride!
