“I asked chatgpt” “I asked grok” well I asked the desert fathers and unless you despise your self-will and renounce all worldly concerns you shall never have peace

Just got back from hanging out at the monastery and I see everyone’s been acting normal while I was gone
Good problems to have: our parish keeps running out of welcome packets
THANK YOU to everyone who has preordered my Catholic vampire novel. I’ve been blown away by y’all’s support & so has Sr Lily, the sister receiving your orders! Please know of our prayers for each of you ☺️ (to be clear, though, we also pray for you even if you don’t get a book)
I actually crunched the numbers when we expanded our confession schedule so that we’d have roughly enough time for every parishioner to confess every other month. (Some are babies and some are long-winded, so it works out) I hope we eventually need to add more!
Assume a parish has 1,000 Catholics who have reached the age of reason. Assume also that a Confession averages three minutes (which is the low end in my experience). If each parishioner goes to Confession once/year, that's one hour of Confessions per week. If each parishioner…
I've had a lot of good friends. I'm pretty blessed. But four years ago, I realized that all my best friends either lived far away, or had really different Catholic lives than me -- most didn't work in/around the Church, so they had a different relationship to her than I did.
Our parish's Vacation Bible School starts today! The first and most important time on the schedule: a few minutes in Christ's presence in Eucharistic Adoration
Meet my Catholic vampire novel! (Don’t worry, @TheHappyPriest made sure it was theologically sound before we printed a bajillion copies of it 🙃)
Yes, you read that correctly: a Catholic vampire trilogy
My 1st time seeing my 1st novel 🥹 The Curse He Chose is the 1st book in my In Aeternum YA trilogy! So… Catholic vampire novels 🦇 Here’s the synopsis: Is any soul beyond saving? 1/3
You may have heard me hint at the trilogy of Catholic urban fantasy young adult novels I’ve been writing… I am THRILLED to share that the 1st releases this summer from @PBMPublishing! I’ll show you the cover & title tomorrow when I post more of our warehouse adventure 😆
Today in parish life, one of our students made a (surprisingly accurate) rendition of our church in Minecraft m.youtube.com/watch?v=i3VXpe…
Happy Feast of St. Paul the Apostle! Today, on the feast of the Great Apostle the Daughters of St. Paul offer you all our prayers! We pray, in the words of St. Paul himself, “May the one who began a good work in you continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Amen!
We have a new perpetually professed sister in our ranks! Yesterday, Sr. Benedicta made her perpetual vows of chastity, poverty, & obedience as a Daughter of St. Paul, meaning she’s entered into the covenant of religious consecration with the Lord for the rest of her life.
