Safe Practices for Meaningful Prayer Journaling (assisted by AI!)

September 20, 2025 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

I have recently discovered an AI-assisted Journaling APP and I have been using it now consistently for 3 months. A 92-day streak!

Rosebud offers prompts for Morning Intentions, a Daily Challenge and an Evening Reflection, along with Today’s goals and tailored prompts reflecting my past entries. It is easily accessible on both my phone and my iPad. It offers weekly reports, summaries and analysis of my entries to help me organize my thoughts, review my spiritual journey and even prep for my next meeting with my Spiritual Director.

Living Liturgically in February!

February 3, 2025 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Equipping Catholic Families for February Saints Days!

This is our monthly summary of crafts and family traditions related to the Monthly Devotion, Key Feast Days, and the appropriate Season of the Liturgical Calendar. As our kids get older, our activities and commitment to Catholic crafts have changed and adjusted (at least for our last TEEN and young adult kids)! While we haven’t exactly been adding a lot of Catholic crafts around here, we do enjoy pulling out the crafts and programs we’ve developed over the years, sometimes sharing them with younger families in our parish!

Family Plan for Consistent Prayer: 2025

January 8, 2025 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Something that has become more and more apparent as my kids one-by-one enter adulthood, is that while my vocation as Mom never ends, it does change! I remember those days of mothering with littles running around the house. They needed me for the physical things; food, drink, shelter, safety, comfort, and clothing, and they were learning so much in terms of basic skills and interests, subjects at school, and picking up prayers, Bible stories and beliefs of our Catholic Faith.
