Prayer of the Day

Hi Everyone,
I am not dead. xD I am currently just trying to finish up school. *sighs* Here is a prayer for you when you need help with trying to put words on a piece of paper for a paper or giving people advice.

Angel of Schools, at the 

bidding of Peter,

Thousands today are

saluting thee thus.

We too are claiming thy 

care and thy counsel,

Angel of Schools, be an 

Angel to us.

Come to our aid when thou 

hearest us calling,

Light up the dark, make

the rough places plain,

Bring to our thoughts the

unknown or forgotten,

Give us the words that we

seek for in vain.

~St. Thomas Aquinas

Hope you find this helpful! I always try to pray this before I write a paper!

Trip to Italy

Hi Everyone!
I am going to share a little of my trip to Italy. I had the privilege overseas for two weeks for Christmas break of 2013. I went with my family and my grandfather and his wife. We left on December 23rd, 2013 and arrived 9 hours later. When we arrived, my grandfather, his wife, and my sister took a nap while my parents and I went on the Scavi Tour where we were able to go under the Vatican and see the old roads and St. Peter's bones.

On the 24th, we celebrated my grandfather's birthday and went to see some sites! Christmas Day we attended Mass at Mary Major Church. We rushed back to receive Pope Francis' Christmas Blessing! It was so touching and breath-taking! Later we went to see some more churches. We saw the Pantheon and the Colosseum.

We spent till the next few days just visiting churches and then we left on December 27th or 28th for Assisi, where Sts. Clare and Francis lived. We didn't know that Assisi was on a hill! The streets were so narrow! I felt unworthy to walk the same streets that Clare and Francis walked.  We stayed in Assisi till the 29th and then left for Lucca.

Lucca was home to St. Gemma Galgani, our family patron. She is a very recent saint to be canonized. It also had a huge wall around dating back to the early Medieval times. We greeted 2014 here! We were also like 10 minutes from Pisa, so we just had to go and get pictures with the Leaning Tower! :D

We then left for our last destination, Venice. St Mark's Square and Church was just breath taken. It is very easy to get lost in Venice.  My mom and I stumbled upon a church that hosted Sts. Anthanasius and Zachariah's bodies! Also, we got to see St. Zita's body.  

We had to say farewell to Italy on January 4th, 2014. It is my goal to get back there!

This wasn't just "hot chocolate" this was hot cream. xD 

Over that wall was where Julius Caesar was murdered. 

Morning view of Assisi! 

The little cell where St. Francis' father locked him up one time.

I don't have any on my iPod or camera of Lucca, but here is Pisa!

Hope you enjoyed this post and I'll be back soon to post something else!

God bless!

Fashion Post

Ideas for Confirmation Saints

Hi Everyone!
It's Linwe here again. Many of you probably are already Confirmed in the Army of Christ.  But for those who aren't, I decided to recommend a few saints as you are going through Confirmation prep.

The first saint I would like to recommend is St. Mother Theodore Guerin.  She is my Confirmation saint and I really love her.  She founded the Sisters of Providence in Terre Haute, Indiana.  She was from France and lived between the years, 1798-1856.  She is the patroness of teachers. She came over to America as a missionary to those few people living in Terre Haute at the time.  She was canonized by St. Pope John Paul II in 2006.  Her feast day is October 3rd.

The next saint I want to cover is St. Thomas More. Another one of my favorite saints.  He was a close friend to King Henry VIII and gave advise to him.  He lived from the years 1478-1535.  He was beheaded by King Henry VIII when he refused to say that Henry could divorce his first wife, Blessed Catherine of Aragon. 

This last saint is still a blessed.  I would like to bring her to attention for most people.  Blessed Catherine of Aragon, first wife to King Henry VIII.  She lived from 1485 and was beheaded by Henry in 1536 when she was unable to bear a son for him.  She is among the blesseds that have been forgotten.  I didn't know she was a Blessed until my mother gave me a holy card with he picture on it.

Hope you enjoy this post! Look out for more coming soon!

God bless

A Throw Together Post

Hi Everyone! 
It is Linwe here! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and ready for a good and relaxing weekend! 

This post will be probably be one of many random posts I will write.  

Starting off with my first part of the post. Do you always crave something new for a snack? Do you always go to the pantry and ask yourself, "I wish I something other than cackers(e.g.)".  Well I recently found my new favorite snack! Pumpkin Seeds! They are so good for you. They have more phosphorus than coca-cola! 

I am totally looking forward to seeing so many movies this summer! Some of the movies on my must watch list for the summer are:
1) Divergent(Yes I haven't seen this yet)
2) Age of Ultron
3) God's Not Dead

Reading is what takes me into imaginary world! Some of the books I am looking forward to reading are:
1) Veronica Roth's series

Music time! Maddie and Tae are my new favorite female country singers! ;) Here is one of their songs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhdEPlXct2Q


Hope I didn't bore you too much! ;)

Modesty

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my blog post! I promise I shall try to post at least once a day, maybe once every other day.  My first post is going to be about modesty.  Modesty is very important to me since I am a teenage Catholic girl in a secular world.  In today's world, people just want to show off parts of the body that are not suppose to been shown.  The world says its ok to dress that way.  I am going to try to promote modesty by giving you cute outfit ideas.

Here are some ideas.  

I also would like to share a video about modest to wrap up this post.
