Congratulations on your entry to the Church and Happy Easter.

I keep you in my prayers.

Best Regards,
Mahsheed

I’m a new reader to your blog (and somewhat new to the Catholic Church–celebrating 5 years this Easter Vigil), and I have really enjoyed reading your passages right before Easter. It is a blessing!

BTW, regarding your previous post about being a mom and living in a convent. I am a mom with two young boys, and we live in an old convent (now our house). The convent doesn’t seem to help my trials being a mom. Although, sometimes I feel guided to do the right thing when frustrated and want to take the easy way out. There is a good (spiritual) presence in our house-convent. The nuns of the past apparently approve of us (or at least accept us being there).

Happy Easter and many marital blessings to you and your husband!!!

With respect to your wonder at how God can accept one who has “come late to the party” please try to focus on the parables of The Lost Son and The Workers in the Field who show up at different times and are paid the same wage by the master. Every one of God’s lambs is precious to Him, especially those who were once lost and now have been found.

God bless! We are a better Church today than we were before gaining our new converts at the Easter Vigil.

(Yes, I’m a bit late in posting, but the cool thing is it’s still Easter!)

And welcome home. I’ve been praying for you all weekend and I’m so happy for you.

And I’ll second the recommendation for A Mother’s Rule of Life. I just started reading it last week and plan to post a review of it on my blog when I’m done. But I’ve been meaning to write and recommend it to you since I finished the first chapter.
