Liturgical Living at a Glance: April 2019 (Holy Week Resources and More!)

April 3, 2019 By Haley 1 Comment

Activities, Recipes, Books, and more for Holy Week, Eastertide, and April Saints Days!

I’m always trying to figure out how to make it easier for families to observe the Christian Year because we felt so overwhelmed when we first started that journey (which is why we wrote the book we wish we had then).  I thought it might be helpful for our family to have resources compiled for the month ahead so that we can plan in advance which special saints days we want to … [Read more...]

How to Do Holy Week (And Being Flexible When There Are Kids Involved) {Sponsored}

How to Do Holy Week (And Being Flexible When There Are Kids Involved)

This post is sponsored by Toadily Handmade Beeswax Candles. See the end of this post for a giveaway of their beautiful candles! I can’t believe how quickly Lent is flying by. Does that mean I didn’t make it hard enough for myself? It’s possible. But that’s the great thing about Lent. You can always take note of how it’s going halfway through and ramp up the penitentialness (is that a … [Read more...]

We Call This Friday Good

April 18, 2014 By Haley 5 Comments

Good Friday is here. We are so close to Easter, but Resurrection doesn't mean much if we haven't entered into Christ's Passion. If you have a chance, try to read from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, particularly East Coker, IV. The wounded surgeon plies the steel That questions the distempered part; Beneath the bleeding hands we feel The sharp compassion of the healer's art Resolving … [Read more...]

Have a Blessed Good Friday

March 29, 2013 By Haley 3 Comments

Lamentation, Giotto Once upon a time I was in grad school for art history. I love the Christian artistic tradition and this image by Giotto is one of my favorites for Holy Week. Look at how the angels grieve for Our Lord, the way the Blessed Mother cradles Him, and how St. Mary Magdalene holds the feet she so recently washed with perfume. I also wanted to share part of T. S. Eliot's Four … [Read more...]

Good Friday

April 22, 2011 By Haley 3 Comments

East Coker IV The wounded surgeon plies the steel That questions the distempered part; Beneath the bleeding hands we feel The sharp compassion of the healer's art Resolving the enigma of the fever chart. Our only health is the disease If we obey the dying nurse Whose constant care is not to please But to remind of our, and Adam's curse, And that, to be restored, our sickness must … [Read more...]
