what Saint would be most likely to play the Papa Louie gamerias (like, if they were alive today, which would be the most likely?)

heh..love ya’ twin..!!

Couple of answers:

- St. Carlo Acutis (patron saint of gamers, was a gamer, I think he would’ve loved mobile games).

- St. Zita of Lucca (she worked in hospitality/domestic services, I think she’d love it).

- St. Elizabeth of Hungary (queen and 3rd order Franciscan who made and gave food to the poor).

Yearning for Advent rn

[laudarebenedicerepraedicare]

Some of my favorite things about the Mass as a Catholic :)

- Watching the priest process in/out, especially when it’s a solemnity and there’s many priests/deacons and incense.

- Incense in general. It’s such a beautiful sight and it smells heavenly.

- Singing the Gloria. It’s a beautiful prayer and the I love the way my parish sings it.

- Kneeling before Mass/after the Sanctus/during the elevation/while receiving the Eucharist/after receiving. There’s just something about lowering myself while in the presence of Our Lord.

- Singing the Sanctus and Agnus Dei.

- The entire Consecration, Elevation, and distributing of the Eucharist 🤍

- Talking to the priest after Mass

- (not rlly an actual part of Mass but) getting ready for Mass! Reading the scripture readings, picking out an outfit that matches the liturgical color, listening to a spiritual podcast prior to.

Please pray for my family and myself...I'm scared for their soul and am praying they have a change of heart...💔

[laudarebenedicerepraedicare]

People you might have not known were Lay Dominicans!

- St. Pier Giorgio Frassati (young Italian activist in the 1920s, recently canonized last September alongside St. Carlo Acutis).

- St. Louis De Montfort (French priest who’s famous for his teachings on Mariology and consecration to the Blessed Virgin).

- St. Bartolo Longo (former satanic priest who reverted back to the faith and came to be known as ‘the Apostle of the Rosary’).

- Flannery O’Connor (southern gothic author whose Catholic and Thomist views influenced her writing, also her nickname as the ‘Hillbilly Thomist’ is the namesake of a bluegrass band compiled of Dominican Friars!).

(+ Pope Benedict XV, many royalty, authors, Saints, and Blesseds!)

Walking down the aisle to receive the Eucharist feels the same as walking down the aisle to meet my Bridegroom. Either way I get a kiss and a tongue on mine. Body on body, Soul to soul

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, make my heart like unto Thine.

I could be a good mother (I get overwhelmed when I have to spend more than 10 mins keeping kids entertained)

Happy Father's Day to our Heavenly Father.

[laudarebenedicerepraedicare]

Happy Father’s Day to all of the priests in this world, and all of the priests who made a difference in my life:

- the priest who baptized me

- the priest who gave me my first Communion

- the abbot who confirmed me

- my old parish priest who was there for me when I reverted to the faith last year (who tragically died at the beginning of this year)

- the priest who most often hears my confessions and gives me the advice I need while helping me through my anxiety

- all of the priests who have visited, taught, spoken at, and said Mass throughout my schooling and sacramental preparation

- the newly ordained priest who was a transitional deacon at my parish

- the new priest at my parish who’s had to deal with me so far 😭

+ any other ones I might be forgetting
