Thursday, September 10, 2020 – Today we are going to start with probably the easiest of our prayer primers: VOCAL (EXTERNAL) PRAYER. Remember, we are starting with our “expressions of prayer.” By “expression” we mean the **how** we pray vs. the types of prayer we will cover later. On its face, VOCAL prayer is exactly Read More

Day 177 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Types of Prayer (Part I)
Wednesday, September 9, 2020 – A lot of Catholics have trouble with prayer: what is it? How do you do it? Why do we need it? Etc. Well, the “why” we covered a few days ago (Friday, September 4, 2020) when we talked about the Three Eminent Good Works. For that not-so-in-depth exposé, see: Mrs. Read More
Day 176 – Before We Continue…Watch THIS!
Tuesday, September 8, 2020 – As we approach another election, it has become quite evident that many Catholics have zero clue what our Church teaches. The “catholic” politicians consistently show their utter lack of morals by voting for abortion, contraception on demand, euthanasia, homosexual “marriage,” and the like. STOP! You cannot be Catholic and pro-abortion! Read More
Day 175 – A Break Day on Labor Day!
Monday, September 7, 2020 – I do not think I could have timed the end of our last round of lessons better. Today is Labor Day, the end of 25 weeks, and a lovely day to go to Latin Mass and take a break before our next round of Super Basic Primers. Saint Anastasia, pray Read More
Day 174 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Eminent Good Works (Part IV)
Sunday, September 6, 2020 – And for our final of the THREE EMINENT GOOD WORKS…I bring you ALMSGIVING (AKA ELEEMOSYNA). On the face, this seems like the easiest of the three, but it is way more than a mantra of “give to the poor” or the three Hebrew tithes. Side note: the third Hebrew tithe Read More
Day 173 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Eminent Good Works (Part III)
Saturday, September 5, 2020 – Today we are going to talk about the second of the TRHEE EMINENT GOOD WORKS: FASTING (AKA JEJUNIUM). Fasting is the one everyone hates because it is “hard” and makes you hangry. But, denying ourselves bodily passions is a good thing and brings us closer to God. So, what is Read More
Day 172 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Eminent Good Works (Part II)
Friday, September 4, 2020 – Today we start on our little journey through each of the THREE EMINIENT GOOD WORKS. We begin with PRAYER (AKA ORATIO). I think that many people have a difficult time understanding prayer—its purpose and its strength—because we are inundated with people screaming about flying spaghetti monsters and pachemamas, the sending Read More
Day 171 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Three Eminent Good Works (Part I)
Thursday, September 3, 2020 – Given the state of the Union…ahem, world…perhaps we should spend a few days covering the THREE EMINENT GOOD WORKS. They aren’t just a Lenten “thing.” Rather, it would be amazing for all of us to lean into them a little harder throughout the rest of the year. These three things Read More
Day 170 – Let’s Talk Latin for a Bit
Wednesday, September 2, 2020 – Right, so many of you have probably never asked, “what is the official language of the Church?” It is difficult for Americans to wrap their head around an “official language” because we do not have one. I know, shocker, but English is actually NOT our official language. Several states have Read More
Day 169 – Monthly Devotional: The Seven Sorrows of Mary
Tuesday, September 1, 2020 – Whew! I finished this month’s devotional in time. Go me! Anyhoo, September brings us the devotion to the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Catholics have honored Our Lady of Sorrows since the twelfth century by recognizing seven events in the life of Mary that caused her immense (great) Read More
