About Me

Hi, I'm Annie! I'm a Catholic wife, writer & producer, and I work from home on a prayer ministry I run with my husband. I also write about, and share, some of the best things I find about living an authentic Catholic life as a woman & wife.

“When the angels ascend to God is when they take

“When the angels ascend to God is when they take to God our petitions and our prayers. And when they descend... is when they come back from God with all of his answers and graces and benefits for us. And so they are intercessors for us in prayer. ” (Fr. Barry Braum)

We’re starting the St. Michael the Archangel Novena today over at @praymorenovenas! Follow along there for the rest of the novena, but here’s Day 1:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, we honor you as a powerful protector of the Church and guardian of our souls. Inspire us with your humility, courage and strength that we may reject sin and perfect our love for our Heavenly Father.

In your strength and humility, slay the evil and pride in our hearts so that nothing will keep us from God.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray that we may be blessed by God with the zeal to live our lives in accordance with Christ’s teachings.

St. Michael the Archangel, you are the prince of angels but in your humility you recognized that God is God and you are but His servant. Unlike satan, you were not overcome with pride but were steadfast in humility. Pray that we will have this same humility.

It is in the spirit of that humility that we ask for your intercession for our petitions…

(state your petitions)

“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Try this the next time you read Scripture 💜👇

Try this the next time you read Scripture 💜👇🏻

Something that can change your entire perspective with Scripture is the tone with which you read it. Are you reading it from the perspective of a voice that condemns you and offers you no redemption or are you reading it from the perspective of a voice that loves you dearly — that would go to the ends of the world to find you, and that is continuously inviting you back into His arms?

The next time you’re reading Scripture, try this: read it aloud. Even if it’s to yourself. Hear yourself saying the words. And then think of someone you love dearly — someone you will always show up for, someone you would offer forgiveness to if they asked it with sincerity and contrition, someone you would sacrifice for. And then read it again, like you’re reading it to them. I think you’ll notice a difference— maybe just a small one, but it’s this change of warmth, of invitation. 💜🙏

Let’s try it: “Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart; for I am gracious and merciful” (Joel 2:12-13).

Do you know that St. Francis quote — about how G

Do you know that St. Francis quote — about how God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it? (I’ll share it below). I’d love to hear from you if you’ve noticed this happen in your life — if you’ve been able to see how God has either protected you from something or given you what you needed to keep walking forward during a difficult time. Sometimes we can’t see it in the present moment. Sometimes we can only notice it in retrospect. I hear from many that this is why they like to journal - to look back and see God’s hand in their life.

Here’s that quote:

“Do not look forward to what may
happen tomorrow; the same
everlasting Father who cares for you
today will take care of you tomorrow
and every day. Either He will shield you
from suffering, or He will give you
unfailing strength to bear it. Be at
peace, then, put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations, and say
continually: The Lord is my strength
and my shield; my heart has trusted in
Him and I am helped. He is not only
with me but in me and I in Him.” (St. Francis de Sales)
