A 24 hr Examination of Conscience You Need to Try
My husband made his first confession at 23 years old; I made my first confession in second grade. And his examinations of conscience put mine to shame.
How does he do it?
I finally decided to ask him.

Since we’re all getting back into the swing of the school routine, I thought we’d do a fun Catholic Trivia theme of education!
The most important aspect of education is that we learn our faith – so most of the questions will center around education in the faith.
But a few of them are a little more all-encompassing.
I am super passionate about this topic, so I hope you love learning a few new things with me!

Good Stewardship: How to Take Care of Your Faith

Why did God make me?
God made me to know, love, and serve him in this life, in order to be happy with him in the next life.
The most important thing in our life is our faith in God. The further we stray from our purpose in life, the less we will find happiness, joy, and fulfillment.
God created us for him.
We find ourselves in responding to him.

Take care of the world you live in.
No, I’m not going to go on some sort of global warming, overpopulation, save the ocean tirade.
I don’t even think we have a “responsibility” to the earth.
However, I feel very strongly that we have a responsibility to God to take care of the world he has given us.

Good Stewardship: How to Take Care of Your Things
My kids looked up from their game of Oregon Trail and asked, “Mom, how did the whole family fit all their stuff into one wagon when they moved?”
This was in stark contrast to our recent move: a whole van full of our furniture, toys, clothes, books (so many books!), gadgets – and then some.
How do we accumulate so much stuff?
And, how do we treat the stuff we accumulate?

Good Stewardship: How to Take Care of Your Self
My four-year-old snuck a beaded glass bracelet from my jewelry display. I discovered her theft when she approached me with a downcast fast, hand outstretched, broken bracelet in her upturned palm.
“Can you fix it, Mommy?”
Thankfully, I was able to piece it back together. But my daughter learned a few lessons that day. She has to take care of Mommy’s things. And she has to wait to receive the things she’s ready for.

*Gasp*
Who know a package in the mail could take your breath away?
“Mom! These match our other one!!!” my 4 year old squealed and ran to grab Cloud of Witnesses so she could unite it with its new friends, The Word of the Lord and Kiddie Cat.
When it comes to books, my kids and I find series irresistible.

What Do You Know About Immaculate Mary?
In Catholic devotion, August is the month devoted to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
During August, we celebrate the feast days of some Saints who had beautiful devotions to Immaculate Mary – such as St. Dominic and St. Maximilian Kolbe, among others.
We also encounter some of the best Marian feast days – the Assumption of Mary, and the feast of her Queenship.
It’s only fitting that this August, our entire Trivia theme is devoted to her.
Are you ready to test your knowledge about Immaculate Mary, our mother and our queen?
