[I’ve been meaning to write this since February, but life keeps getting me muddled. Why are book reviews both the hardest and easiest blog posts to write? It’s a great mystery. Anyway, I had an inquiry about this book today and it...
First, you absolutely must visit Coffee and Canticles, a wonderful new blog dedicated to the Liturgy of the Hours. Daria is a Catholic mom, not any kind of expert. But to my mind that makes her the perfect person to speak to other moms. Sometimes...
One of my favorite bloggers, Leila of Like Mother Like Daughter, wrote recently about how she won’t write about her prayer life. She’s a wise woman, much more so than I am. I think I’m probably a fool who rushes in where angels...

Elizabeth Foss, homeschooling mother of eight, writes about incorporating the Liturgy of the Hours into her day: If John Paul II warmly recommended it, that works for me. There was no caveat against mothers praying the Hours or no warning that it is...
