Holy Things Are Veiled

Published August 16, 2017 • Written by Norine Shaivitz Filed Under: ACNM, Blog

Saint Paul speaks of shame when it comes to women covering their heads before the Lord (1 Corinthians 11:5-6), but I was brought to do so for a reason that came about earlier than the entrance of shame in the Garden. A priest on Relevant Radio said God had a very specific order when He… [Read More]

For Women Only… and A Little Bit for Men (Review: “Discovering the Feminine Genius”)

Published June 7, 2016 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Marriage and Love, Reviews

I finally found a book about women’s spirituality that is (a) not about single life and (b) one I like! That is a rare find. I read (and write) a lot about being a single Catholic woman. There’s a market for it. There’s also a need for materials that explore women’s spirituality, but that usually… [Read More]

Rediscovering Hope (Review: “The Catholic Girl’s Survival Guide for the Single Years”)

Published April 29, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Marriage and Love, Reviews

I spend about half of my lunch break at work on Facebook, but I like to read something other than statuses and blogs for the second half. When I took this book to work, I was so embarrassed that I was careful to hide the cover. I work for a secular employer, and most of… [Read More]

Veiled Question: An Exploration of the Re-emergence of an Ancient Custom

Published January 15, 2014 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Faith

 The young people at St. Mary’s in College Station have a flare for making old things new again, for transforming customs and practices that could be considered old fashioned or obsolete, into fresh, passionate expressions of the uniqueness and beauty of our Catholic faith.  Aggie Catholics tend to add flourish to their devotion. Several of… [Read More]

Every Woman’s Mission (Review: “Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious”)

Published April 30, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

I’ve been thinking a lot about mission lately: what I want from my life and from my work, and whether what I actually do with the time God gives me is working toward those goals. If it’s not, then I am really just wasting time. I’m more than just a cute machine, though; being the… [Read More]

Girls, if you’re not married and between the ages of 16 and 45, let’s have a chat. Have you considered spending the rest of your life with Jesus as your spouse? The King of Heaven on Earth who knows your heart’s every desire and loves you more than you can possibly imagine? (Or did I… [Read More]

Prada for God? 5 Things Every Woman Should Wear at Mass

Published November 20, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog

You’ve glanced at the Sunday readings. You shuttled all your children and a husband to the minivan. You even remembered to brush your teeth. You made it to Mass before the first reading, so does it *really* matter what you wore? Yes, yes it does. Below, I share why it matters, how it can make… [Read More]

Who is she to you? Mary as Educator of the Masculine & Feminine Soul

Published October 25, 2012 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

Who is she to you? Who is Mary to you? How do you relate to her? Perhaps the first relationship that popped into your head was Mother. But have you ever considered her a Teacher? What about as someone who can teach us about gender? About growing up as a teenage boy or girl? About… [Read More]

Pure Women – Pure Fashion!

Published October 11, 2012 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

What does PURE mean? Something that is pure is 100% what it is. Meaning, it is made of nothing else but it’s own essence – bottled water is “pure water” when there are no added flavorings, no artificial sweeteners, no contamination – it’s just pure water. Likewise, being a woman who is pure has nothing… [Read More]

To Bikini or Not?

Published June 5, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Faith, Family

“Moooommmm.  WHY do we have to wear a coverup with our swimsuit?” my oldest daughter whined.  “Because, sweetheart, it’s what girls do,” I replied.  But is it really what girls do?  Do girls and women really know how to be modest?  Do they know how to feel beautiful without adding sexy into the mix?  I’ll be… [Read More]

Prayer, Personality, and Plugging In (Review: “Style, Sex, and Substance”)

Published May 1, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I realized recently (and very awkwardly) that I read a lot about being single. I need more balance in my life, which is one of the reasons I turned to The Thrill of the Chaste for my last review. However, that was still a book about being single. In came Style, Sex, and Substance: 10… [Read More]

Trusting in the Truth (Review: “How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul”)

Published December 27, 2011 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Marriage and Love, Reviews, Young Adult

I hate to begin blog posts with apologies, but I feel I must offer mine for the tardiness of this review. I spent the day after-Christmas shopping with my mom and sister. I don’t see my family very often since they almost all still live in Maryland, so I try to make myself available to… [Read More]

The Search for Real Men (Review: “Wild at Heart”)

Published August 9, 2011 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

I am not sure that men and women will ever truly understand one another. I am a woman of faith, though, so I know that there are some things I accept and believe without understanding them; they’re called mysteries. Similarly, I can’t quite pin down why I had such a different reaction to Wild at… [Read More]

More Like “Drab” (Review: “Captivating”)

Published July 26, 2011 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

As a Catholic woman, I like to read books and articles about Christian femininity. I have many friends who are wives and moms. Their Facebook links to articles from places like Faith and Family Live keep me from getting too complacent in my singlehood. One of my old housemates recommended Captivating, by John and Stasi… [Read More]
