Traditionally the Feast of Corpus Christi is held on the second Thrusday following Pentecost Sunday. However; many Bishops have elected to celebrate the Mass on the Second Saturday instead.

Blessed Be Trinity Sunday
Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday within the Church. As is my custom, I’ve gone back over the last three years and re-read those posts dealing with Trinity Sunday. After all, I need to express its meaning without sounding like a broken record.

Here we are at the last Saturday of May. For many of us this is a part of a long weekend. As often in the case of long weekends, our family gathers on Sunday to celebrate together. It’s a nice way to break up the long weekend. This year is a little different, but we’ll chat about that later.

Today is both the second Ember Days of Pentecost and National Wyoming Day. As the second Ember Days of Pentecost, it naturally falls on a Friday. In our house, that means no meat.

Coming up with recipes to share day after day ain’t easy. Thank God for my compulsive nature and that I have 196 cookbooks in my collection thus far. The oldest is from 1899; the most recent was a gift from Kiddo for Mother’s Day.
Continue reading “Welcome the First Ember Days of Pentecost”Holy Mary, Mother
When you consider the life span of the Church, under the direction of the First Pope, Peter, appointed by Christ, we’ve been here a very long time. From that perspective, a Devotional Feast Day proclaiming Mary, Mother of the Church is very new indeed, having been established in 2018.

Do you know the origins of Pentecost? For Catholics, it signals the end of the Easter Season. But did you know Pentecost is very much rooted in Judaism?

There are a lot of things going on today on the National Front. It’s No Dirty Dishes Day and Armed Forces Day. We’ve celebrated both in the past. Since I’ve been more focused on the Church as of late, I thought it would be nice to talk about a man I truly admire. Today is his birthday.
Continue reading “Happy Earthy Birthday Saint John Paul II”Tuesday’s Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle
Who is Saint Matthias, Apostle? To begin with, his name means “Gift of God.” He was not chosen by Christ as an Apostle, but was chosen to replace Judas to restore their number to twelve. Matthias was with the Lord since the Jordon River, and a witness to the Resurrection.

We’ve been hanging out, sharing memories, thoughts, and recipes for a long time. I dipped my toes into the blogging world in October 2017. That year my grand total of posts shared was one. That’s the equivalent of my average daily posts over the last 3 years. Wow – guess once I got the ball rolling, there was no turning back.
Continue reading “Behold Our Lady of Fatima”Forty Days Beyond Easter Sunday
Today marks forty days since we celebrated Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of Our Lord. Unlike the forty days of Lent, that excluded all Sundays, this time around Sundays are a part of that forty day count. What, you might ask, makes these Sundays count while those during Lent do not?
Continue reading “Forty Days Beyond Easter Sunday”A Feast Day of Two Apostles
Before Dallas Jenkins gave us The Chosen, I never really paid much attention to the Apostles. I knew Christ selected twelve men for very specific tasks within His ministry. Even Judas was chosen for the very reason of betrayal. While that offends most Christians, the reality is without his betrayal, there would be no redemption.
Continue reading “A Feast Day of Two Apostles”Celebrate Saint Joseph, Worker
In 1889, the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 to be an international day of celebration, a holiday for those who labor. As one can only imagine, this declaration did not sit well with the Catholic Church nor the United States. Yet both were slow to officially react.
Continue reading “Celebrate Saint Joseph, Worker”Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist
Typically on this date we talk about an event in history, East Meets West. However; since we’ve been there and done that a number of times, I thought sharring a bit more Catholic Faith would be nice. Don’t want the faith? That’s okay, just scrole down to the recipe. I promise, it was taste just as good.
Continue reading “Feast of Saint Mark, Evangelist”Voici la fête de Sainte Bernadette
Unlike last year, when the Feast Day of Saint Bernadette was overshadowed by Divine Mercy Sunday, this year Bernadette has her feast day all to herself. Not that it took away from last year’s honoring of this simple woman. You see, Bernadette has not one but two feast days.
