How Saint Philomena Found me a Husband

By Cara E. Ruegg You often hear it said, “To Saint Philomena, God refuses nothing.” Saint John Vianney was the author of those words. He loved Philomena. Pauline Jaricot, another devotee of Philomena, who was alive during the Cure’s time and who was healed by Philomena herself, came to him one day with relics of this dear saint, and told him, “Have full confidence in this great saint; she will obtain for you all that you ask.” John Vianney claims he felt a love enkindled in his heart for Philomena soon as he got hold of her relics. He often referred to her as his “dear little saint”, going so far as to blame all the miracles wrought through him, on her. In fact, when he was at death’s door and the doctors had given up all hope of his recovery, it was through the intercession of Philomena that he was miraculously cured.

My Home Water Birth During a Snowstorm

By: Cara E. Ruegg You were four days late and I was anxious for your arrival. My last midwife appointment, I was told I was measuring two weeks ahead; it was implied maybe I had gestational diabetes after all but I had been monitoring my sugars with my glucometer, something I thought far more accurate anyway, and fasting and after meals was still normal even with dessert, so I don’t think it was that. The midwife suggested I consider an ultrasound to check your weight to see if we should do the hospital route. She said she was trained to handle shoulder dystocia even at home but would prefer more hands. I remembered with your brother how inaccurate that last ultrasound was, nearly two pounds off. I also later did research and found maternal outcomes were better when the woman didn’t know her child would be big. It made sense. Fear is the enemy of labour. I was told though if you came before the ultrasound, we’d just go ahead with the home birth, so I was now ready for you to come, wher...

Novena to Saints Zelie and Louis Martin

So, while they do exist, I know I struggled to find a novena to Saints Louis and Zélie Martin online, so I've decided to write my own. Novena to Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin Saint Louis and Zélie Martin, you were parents to one of the greatest saints of modern times, you always gave God the first say, and you practiced an amazing resignation to His holy will. I ask you both to please come to my aid, help me in my needs; I place my worries at your feet. Please pray for this special intention of mine (list intention), please beg God, on behalf of your loyalty and love of Him, and on behalf of your saintly children, to grant my request. I have full confidence in your intercession. God answered so many of your requests; you asked for a missionary and behold your daughter has been declared a patroness of missionaries! And He blessed all your living children with vocations just as you requested Him to. I beseech you, in your mercy, to hear me, to pray ...
