Prompt Me to Pray through Advent and Christmas

December 8, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

I’ve always been a fan of living more liturgically throughout the Catholic Seasons AND I’ve got a renewed passion for developing personal prayer and those TWO things are coming together!

This past summer, I released my new book Prompt Me to Pray and we’ve received wonderful feedback from so many people! We’ve actually heard from some readers that this little book has changed their prayer life! I’m humbled and honored…and so excited to find others as excited as I am with this practical plan that works to develop more consistent prayer from the heart and a deeper relationship with Jesus!

A Better Advent

November 28, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year! As Advent starts tomorrow, we might be tempted to bring out all the stops to make this NEW liturgical year SO much better than the last one. I like to offer all the Advent options: the Advent Calendar, the Advent Wreath, the Jesse Tree.
On the other other hand, we might want to skip Advent altogether and jump into celebrating Christmas,

Review: Jesse Tree PDF by To Jesus Sincerely

November 16, 2020 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

I’ve seen Sara’s Mosaic Jesse Tree for years and I was so delighted when I discovered that she has made it available as a printable set!

Here it is in her shop: Printable Mosaic Jesse Tree

I eagerly printed the templates, wrote the numbers of the ornaments on the back in pencil, punched out the ornaments with a 1 1/2″ hole punch, laminated them and then punched them out again with the same whole punch. I know I can glue gun magnets to the back of them or punch a hole and tie a string tie, but I chose to stick them on the tree on this magnetic white board. Using the white board, I can make use of these adorable Little Drops of Water Saint Magnets and I suspect we might add little notes throughout Advent, written with the dry erase markers.

TS
The Calendar Saint Stickies Craft Kit has been around for a while and I’ve used it to embellish secular wall calendars and planners…and even add illustrations to some Catholic ones! There are 461 little illustrations of Saints….and Mysteries of the Rosary (that are Feast Days), plus little lists and logs for prayers and Sacraments!
