A Child Shall Lead Them
A Child Shall Lead Them
Over the years, I have enjoyed watching and listening to Mother Angelica on EWTN. Mother was feisty, funny, and faithful. I especially loved her Bible storytelling skills. She made the scriptures come to life and lovingly described the first apostles as ordinary, average men with many faults and weaknesses.

A man who always did what was right
Matthew 1:19 describes St. Joseph as “Joseph was a man who always did what was right..” What a beautiful description of the man chosen by God to be the head of the household of His family, the guardian of God’s own Son.

Our Great Shepherd
Our Great Shepherd
Growing up, I loved gazing at the nativity scene my mom would set up under the Christmas tree. My mind would imagine how special that holy night would have been for Mary and Joseph and those lucky shepherds who responded to the angels. The Son of God born in a stable in Bethlehem. What a gift to mankind!

The Holy Family's Guardian Angels
Before God created man, He created the heavens and all things visible and “invisible”. The angels were in existence long before man walked the earth. Throughout the Bible the angels are seen as messengers and protectors. They adore, glorify and praise the Creator. These angels play a vital role in the journey of mankind.

Saint Elizabeth - What a woman!
Saint Elizabeth - What a woman!
Elizabeth is a special name in my family. My daughter and granddaughter share this saint name along with many other family members. Elizabeth, wife of Zacharia and mother of John the Baptist, is a great role model for women of all ages. She would be considered very counter-culture in today’s society, which teaches women can only influence and weld power if they practice sex, contraception

I am a Soul Woman
I was born on All Souls’ Day, (November 2nd) fifty years ago. This has led to a life- long curiosity with regard to souls and purgatory. My parents are in their seventies. I have very early memories of seeing my parents cleaning and painting tombs of loved ones in preparation of All Souls’ Day.

Is Knowledge really Power?
Is Knowledge really Power?
What did Adam and Eve do? They wanted to be like God and so they ate the forbidden fruit. Who was telling them the truth? Of course, it was God Who Is the Truth. They were given everything, and still they yearned for more. Man turned away from God’s truth and innocence. The sad part is that thousands of years later, nothing has changed.

Be Willing to Forgive
In 1981 our Blessed Mother began appearing to a small group of children in the remote village of Kibeho. Mary and Jesus warned the children of the holocaust that would happen unless Rwandans opened their hearts to God and began loving one another. These prophetic visions came true in 1994.

Behold Your Mother
Behold Your Mother
My hometown is blessed with many Catholic churches, including Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. I have attended mass at this church most of my life, beginning at my baptism soon after birth. There is a beautiful replica of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Icon I have always loved, but I never took the time to understand its meaning or significance to our church history.

Grandmothers' Gifts
Grandmothers' Gifts
I was young when my mother’s mother passed away. We called her Maw-Maw. My only memories of her are of a very sick woman. My mother became her nurse in those days. I do not remember any conversation I ever had with Maw-Maw. My mother has told me that she enjoyed life. She loved dancing and visiting her friends. It must have been very hard on her to have a disabling disease...

What are little boys made of?
My twenty-three-year-old son came home the other day following the Bruce Jenner interview and made me smile. He asked, “Hey Mom, as a woman don’t you find it offensive that Bruce Jenner can put on a dress and makeup and call himself a woman?” I smiled because I knew my son gets it. He is not fooled by media hype and the society push for a genderless world.

Blessed are the Persecuted
Blessed are the Persecuted
A few years ago I decided to research my Cajun ancestors. My mother is a Melancon and a direct descendant of Pierre Melanson (original spelling) from Grand Pre’ in Nova Scotia. She grew up a devout Catholic. Her parents with their children said the rosary on their knees every evening. Her father, Newton Melancon, went to Mass with the Knights of Columbus every Monday morning
