Re: the mom who mentioned the 'Fatima prayers' at the end of each rosary decade.... my toddler son was affected by them too ("Fires- of hell- Mama?"). I think that's understandable that little kids would be weirded out. And I didn't even know they were added after Fatima- only prayed them because that's how my family prayed the rosary. There is a reason that Catechesis of the Good Shepherd doesn't mention demons or Hell in Level 1 (ages 3-6). I'd just skip that prayer until they get older.
I clicked through your dessert link and realized you have a blog! I’ve only been following you for years…. How did I not know! (*slaps forehead*) unrelatedly, very curious about your thoughts on the ballerina farm hoopla. Will give it a listen!
This is convicting me: "The will has to lead the way on this, regardless of how quickly emotions follow." The whole paragraph is great, but I'm going to take this to First Friday mass with me now. Blessings from Texas, where the AC is running non-stop, but 5 seconds outside is enough to break into a sweat. :)

It is ancient! I haven’t been active on it for years. I only use it occasionally now.
