Wow!! My Scribd account has logged nearly 1400 reads in the past week…I sure hope this means the planner is a much-needed resource… BTW…I’ve uploaded the last few pages. While I’ve tried very hard to proofread all documents before submitting, I’m quite sure there will be more than a few errors, here and there. Bear [...]

Dear Friends: It’s my sincere desire to make the planner available for no charge, to you…the homeschooling, traditional Catholic mom. Affordability is such a key factor in the life of the large, and even not-so-large, homeschooling family. Consider it a gift, given in thanksgiving for the many good gifts God continues to give this family. [...]

Welcome to our new classroom… For those of you who are regular visitors, you’ll notice a few changes. We are no longer upstairs, as much as I enjoyed my “loft-styled” classroom, it was a bit impractical for several reasons. In the summer: very, very hot. In the winter: extremely cold. Add to that the occasional [...]

My dear friend’s oldest daughter, Charis, is having outpatient surgery on Thursday to remove an accessory navicular. Would you please pray for her? She has quite a few weeks of recovery ahead of her and the family is scheduled to move in a couple months. Sandra would greatly appreciate any and all prayers for her [...]

Okay…I think it’s nearly finished. I held a preview for a few of my friends after Mass yesterday, and it seems this is what many traditional Catholic moms are looking for… A traditional Catholic planner based on the liturgical calendar observed in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. I finally managed to locate a Word-to-PDF [...]

Visit Peggy at The Simple Woman for more Daybook entries! FOR TODAY – August 24 , 2009 Outside my Window…gathering light and the chirp of crickets. A hazy mist is rising over the endless sea of soy surrounding the house…it’s 6:30 a.m. and a deliciously chilly 52 degrees… Thinking…of my family, both near and far. [...]
Resourcefulness…

Feeling oh, so much better! So much so, that on Thursday we had friends over for the first time in three weeks… The house has been suffering from the lack of motherly care, though the children have kept things reasonably tidy, considering the circumstances. But then there’s my pride…seeing the dust, seeing the dirt…directing the [...]

I love St. Francis de Sales: Raise your eyes to Heaven and you will see that no one arrives there without hard work and continual afflictions. When things go wrong, say to yourself, “This is the road to Heaven. I see the harbor and I am sure that the tempests will not stop me from [...]
Compassion

Suffering well… But how? Faced with my limitations, I lament all that others must do that I would. Struggling against the tide, I try to do what I can, only to lament the pain that follows for having done too much. I shared this with my dad. Me: “It’s so hard, Dad. I see how [...]
Just a quick note…

So sorry to be away so long…and I can only type for a second. Might I beg your prayers? I’ve spent the past week in excrutiating pain. I had an MRI this afternoon (a decidedly unpleasant experience for the claustrophobic!) and will probably need surgery to remove a ruptured disc in my spine. There simply [...]

All Holy Angels and Saints, Pray For Us!My Mother…And Yours!
The most holy Virgin had more faith than all men and angels. She saw her Son in the crib of Bethlehem, and believed Him the Creator of the world. She saw Him fly from Herod, and yet believed Him the King of kings. She saw Him born, and believed Him eternal. She saw Him poor and in need of food, and believed Him the Lord of the universe. She saw Him lying on straw, and believed Him omnipotent. She observed that He did not speak, and she believed Him infinite wisdom. She heard Him weep, and believed Him the joy of Paradise. In fine, she saw Him in death, despised and crucified, and, although faith wavered in others, Mary remained firm in the belief that He was God.

St. Alphonsus LiguoriWelcome to Catholic Family Vignettes!
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

St. Thomas Aquinas – Patron of Sacred Heart Academy – Pray For Us!
A Student's Prayer
Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom, origin of all being, graciously let a ray of your light penetrate the darkness of my understanding.
Take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
Give me a keen understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
---St. Thomas Aquinas
Litany Of Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved...
From the desire of being extolled ...
From the desire of being honored ...
From the desire of being praised ...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted ...
From the desire of being approved ...
From the fear of being humiliated ...
From the fear of being despised...
From the fear of suffering rebukes ...
From the fear of being calumniated ...
From the fear of being forgotten ...
From the fear of being ridiculed ...
From the fear of being wronged ...
From the fear of being suspected ...
That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I ...
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease ...
That others may be chosen and I set aside ...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed...
That others may be preferred to me in everything...
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…
