Christ, true God and true man

November 21

“Christ’s kingdom is not just a figure of speech. Christ is alive, He lives as a man, with the same body He took when He became man, when He rose after His death, the glorified body which subsists in the person of the Word together with His human heart. Christ, true God and true man, lives and reigns. He is the Lord of the universe. Everything that lives is kept in existence only through Him.”

-St Josemaria Escrivá

Is Christ the center of your life?

November 20

“Jesus Christ You have heard Him spoken of, indeed the greater part of you are already His – you are Christians. So, to you Christians I repeat His name, to everyone I proclaim Him – Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. He is the king of the new world. He is the secret of history. He is the key to our destiny.”

-St. Pope Paul VI

Watchover Voodoo Dolls and the Occult

I was shopping at a food store the other day and came upon a rack full of keychains that had voodoo dolls attached to them. They’re called Watchover Voodoo and the purveyors insist they’re not connected to voodoo. Is this true?

Our heavenly inheritance

November 17

"Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’"

Testimonial: A Personal Encounter with St. Joan of Arc's Courage Through a Women of Grace Event

"St. Timothy Catholic Church held a Ministry Fair and All Saints Festival November 1-2, 2025, in Lady Lake, Florida.  The event highlighted Women of Grace, Young Women of Grace, and the Benedicta Institute for Women programs, as well as their “Tea with the Women Saints.”  Pictured are facilitators and participants of Women of Grace and Young Women of Grace dressed up as St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Joan of Arc, St. Therese Lisieux, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, and Edith Stein (St. Theresa Benedicata of the Cross). Enthralled with the women saints, one Young Women of Grace participant began researching the life of St. Lucy, Patron Saint of the eyes.  Rosario plans to share this young saint’s story at our 'Tea with the Women Saints' in 2026.

I recently viewed the 1928 movie 'The Passion of St. Joan of Arc' as one of our assignments for the Benedicta Institute for Women course ‘Towards a Catholic Understanding of Women.'  This movie, coupled with Young Woman of Grace Aurora’s impassioned love for St. Joan of Arc, turned my heart toward this young woman saint.  Aurora spent hours learning about this young saint and enthusiastically shared St. Joan’s story with the festival participants. Inspired by both experiences, I keep St. Joan in my heart at daily Mass. When looking at the crucifix above the altar, I see Joan’s face looking up to Jesus on the cross.  I pray to St. Joan to intercede for me that our Lord and Savior grace me with a fraction of the faith, trust, and love she has for Jesus."

Eternity with God

November 15

"As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man. When he reached the Ancient of Days and was presented before him, He received dominion, splendor, and kingship; all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed."

- Daniel 7:13-14
