"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
You’ll often hear people say that, if you fall asleep while praying the rosary, your guardian angel will finish the rosary for you. If that’s true, I think mine is probably getting kinda sick of me at this point…

I remember some time ago I was reading a book (possibly Bill Bryson’s “The Mother Tongue”) and found out that Latin anagrams were, at one point in history, all the rage. Well, what can you expect? These were the days before YouTube… Anyway, the author then gave an example of a Latin phrase which sounded rather familiar:
“Quid est veritas?”
This is the (rather cynical) question asked of Jesus by Pontius Pilate; what is truth? Well, it turns out that there is a rather appropriate anagram for Pilate’s words:
“Est vir qui adest”
The translation for this is “It is the man who is here”. Cool, huh?

I know I’m off in the desert and not meant to be posting, but I couldn’t really pass up a quick post for the birthday of Mary, the mother of God:
Your birth, O Theotokos, brought joy to the whole world, for from you dawned the sun of righteousness, Christ our God. Freeing us from the curse, He gave us His blessings. Abolishing death, He granted us eternal life.
– Apolytikion, Nativity of the Theotokos
Today’s post might be a little controversial, but I survived the dating series, so I figure I may as well 🙂
I’ve recently been catching up on my Catholic Stuff You Should know backlog. I’ve just finished listening to the podcast episode entitled, Yoga: Is it okay?
As a follow-up to my catholic dating series, I’d invite you to read this post by Hannah from The Art In Life entitled “My husband is not my soul mate” as some food for thought and discussion:
Several times recently I’ve had people speak to me about “the wealth of the Vatican”, either implying it’s wrong for the Church to have money or just openly condemning it. It is declared that it is hypocritical and somehow contrary to the teaching of Jesus. A lot could be said on this subject, but I would just like to briefly make a few points…
This post will be a little longer than usual. Today I will be closing the series by offering some final thoughts on some of the issues I see within the Catholic dating world.
Why is it that there don’t seem to be many Catholic couples dating and, by extension, why is the number of couples receiving the Sacrament of Matrimony plummeting?
As I’ve mentioned before, there are many different, complicated explanations as to why this is so, but today I would like to focus on the subject of analysis paralysis, as well as our attitude towards dating and courtship.
