Today’s discussion will equip you to discuss marriage and same-sex marriage with your children. Too often we think that Homosexuality and (Same-Sex) Marriage are the same topic, but they are not. Here are some important points to keep in mind as you discuss (Same-Sex) Marriage: Marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and a woman ordered toward the creation of children and formation of a family. Marriage benefits society because the family is the best place to raise a healthy and productive next generation. The Church and the World have very different definitions of marriage, an ..read more

J1ST 092: Is Halloween Evil?

Hi There! We're getting seasonal today and tackling Halloween... If you're like us, you probably remember the annual struggle to narrow down your costume ideas to a single CHOICE and then the excitement of running door to door to get candy (FOR FREE) from strangers.  Halloween was quite different as we went on college and post-graduation life.  Halloween seemed like nothing more than an invitation to dress immodestly and drink to excess, so no thank you, Halloween, we'll just move on to All Soul's Day. Through Katie's husband's obsession with the history of All. The. Things, however ..read more

J1ST 091: The Litte Flower

Hi Friends! Happy Feast Day of Fatima (if you're checking this out Sunday evening).  October 13th, 1917 is "The Day the Sun Danced." It's a great day to pray the rosary! Speaking of roses.... It's October and we'd be remiss if we didn't share about one of our favorite saints, St. Therese of Lisieux, The Little Flower.  Before St. Therese died, she declared "I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens, I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth."  Since then, many Catholics have asked St. Therese's intercession and have received roses, both lit ..read more

Hey Listeners! Welcome back and happy New Week to you!  What's your favorite Marian Apparition? Is it Lourdes or Guadalupe or Fatima? (both ours are one of those so don't feel bad for being 'predictable') This week we are exploring some lesser know apparitions. Ones you didn't hear about in Catholic School.  Ones Nancy and I found out about through an amazing lecture by Fr. Don Calloway (see link below) and then read more about in his amazing book Champions of the Rosary.   In a way, Marian Apparitions and Miracles of the Rosary are a bit like our Saints, aren't they? There ..read more

J1ST 084: Veiling
Just One Small Thing | Everyday Wisdom for Catholic Women
by Nancy Bandzuch
11M ago
Today, we’re diving into another sacramental of our Faith: the Chapel Veil.  Reminder from last week: Sacramentals do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the way that sacraments do, but by the Church's prayer, they prepare us to receive grace and dispose us to cooperate with it. (CC1670) Wearing a veil at mass will not give you special graces the way a Sacrament does, but some women find it helps open them up to receive the graces of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Did you grow up in a parish where veiling was the norm?  Neither of us did. In fact, Nancy remembers seeing ..read more

Hey there! Let's continue on with our investigation of the virtues of the Rosary! Head hereif you would like beautiful coloring pages with the virtues of the Rosary and right hereif you would like to grab a Rosary Booklet of your very own. Today's podcast is all about hope, but not hope in the sense that we use the word every day. In common usage, hope is like optimism. We might say, "I hope I'm not late." Now, it is perfectly fine to be optimistic, but optimism is not a virtue. Hope as a virtue means places all of our trust in God. Hope is also what connects us to heaven. When we hope in Jesu ..read more

J1ST 073: A Year in Review: Embracing Weakness
Just One Small Thing | Everyday Wisdom for Catholic Women

I am big on looking back...and then looking forward at the end of the year. I know this is way over done right now, but I find it helpful since I usually am to "stuck in the moment" to really understand what I am experiencing when I experience it. So, today's episode is a little personal as I look at the ways I have changed and grown and struggled this past year.  I hope you find it helpful! With the help of a great book, Fire and Light by Fr. Jacques Philippe, I have been reflecting a lot on why this year of spiritual growth has been also so hard and even a little painful. I fe ..read more

Today we are continuing on with the Virtues of the Rosary series on the Just One Small Thing Podcast. Today I am tackling the virtue of Humility which is assigned to the 3rd Sorrowful Mystery, the Crowing of Thorns. As just a quick reminder, I did not dream up the idea of assigning a virtue to each mystery of the rosary–I’m just promoting something taught by many great saints included St. Padre Pio, St. John Paul II and St. Mother Teresa.  It my hope that this series gives you lots to think about as you pray your daily rosary. I love mediating on the virtues as I pray–and if you would lik ..read more
