What I’m Pondering Today…

…and given my recent “restricted activity/modified bedrest” (or whatever you want to call it) mandate, I’ve ample time to ponder.

“Our body is a cenacle, a monstrance; through its crystal the world should see God.”

~Saint Gianna Molla

    Oh that’s beautiful! I love ST Gianna. A great saint to accompany you through the end of your pregnancy.

      Melanie, I haven’t been able to track down the primary source for the quote yet, but I saw that a reader on your blog thought she knew what book it originally appeared in. I’ll keep you posted if I learn anything further.

      (And thank you, thank you, thank you for your 8:15 prayer on our family’s behalf. Oh, how it blesses us!)

        Thanks, Kate. I hope I can eventually find an affordable copy of that book. I’d love to read her letters.

        And you are more than welcome for the prayers. I wish I lived close enough that I could come by and our kids could play together while we chatted.

    Very deep and worthy of being reflected upon. Our body is a vessel by which we should carry the wonderful acts and gifts of God. :)

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
