March 4, 2020 by Lauren Heaton 1 Comment

Through one for many

St. Peter and Redeeming Qualities

February 22, 2020 by Lauren Heaton 1 Comment

Cross and St. Peter's redeeming qualities

I think I have been channeling my inner St. Peter recently. St. Peter was a very determined, almost stubborn fellow, who was quick to jump to extremes with Jesus. Most notably, St. Peter liked to speak by using a lot of “never”s.

Feeling Overwhelmed In The New Year and What To Do About It

January 2, 2020 by Lauren Heaton Leave a Comment

To say I felt overwhelmed was an understatement. I was looking at a list of 21 confirmed food allergies, most of which I had spent the past 6 years functioning off of because I thought they were the solution to living gluten and dairy free. I had to keep reminding myself these test results were answers, this was good news.

I Believe In the Power of Divine Love: It’s better than life

July 8, 2019 by Lauren Heaton 1 Comment

His love is better than life

“Dear God, why do I believe in you?!” I cried out in prayer. I was not crying out in disbelief, rather I was longing for words to describe my strong belief in the Lord our God. While I know that I love him, it seems I can rarely find the words to adequately explain this mysterious, delightful bond.

You Need To Really Get This: God is Crazy in Love with You

April 11, 2019 by Lauren Heaton 1 Comment

Crazy in Love, Adoration

I used to think the term Cafeteria Catholics applied only to those Catholics who pick and choose which church teachings to apply to their political life—abortion and same-sex marriage for example. But God opened my eyes to see the hypocrite standing in the mirror.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
