The Internet can be a confusing, harsh, even judgmental place sometimes.

I am sure you know what I am talking about.

More times than I care to admit, I see fights and mud slinging about the "right" way to be a Catholic woman - like it's all or nothing, a competition to win - homeschooling vs. conventional, working vs. stay at home, married vs single, organic vs. non-organic food. The list goes on and on.

It is sad to me more than anything. I get that we all have different thoughts and opinions on what works best for your own life and family. But when we become harsh, unloving, and judgy towards what works for other people it is neither kind or how Jesus calls us to treat each other.

What can get lost in the process, is the beautiful fact that holiness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It looks different for every woman and that is a-okay. 

The point is that we are called to be holy, to be like Jesus right where God has placed us. No striving or comparison needed.


For all the above reasons, I am most excited about the newest Blessed Conversations study, Misericordia.  It is based on the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and the study follows the examples of 12 different Catholic saints (11 lay and 1religious). 

Each of these holy women had different careers, vocations, backgrounds, talents and passions, and countries of origins. To me it is a sweet reminder that the universal call to holiness will play differently in each of our lives.
I am particularly looking forward to learning about a handful of female saints and blesseds that I have never heard of before!



Four women in different walks of life on the Blessed is She team beautifully make these holy women come alive by reflecting on the works of mercy. They all bring a unique perspective bringing to life the lives these saints.


The study is broken down into 12 sessions (one for each woman) and is bound, which is a different style from our previous studies. 

My copy arrives tonight and I cannot wait to open it up after work!

And for the love, can we as sisters in Christ just stop fighting amongst each other on how to best be Catholic?



I am looking forward to diving into the Works of Mercy more, and hope you will also join us!
