Ruah (noun): a Hebrew word meaning breath or Spirit * Be still, meditate, and contemplate His word. Be with Him in the silence and take the time to discern His voice and hear Him speak love and acceptance into your heart. * So excited to be a part of Ruah’s release today available on Amazon. It truly is an amazing book and even just praying with it this morning and creating this video has truly been transformative in my faith. Thank you so much @creatingtolove for creating such a beautiful product! #ruahbooks

“his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.” This reading from last Sunday really stood out from me, especially living a countercultural life in college. Check out my post to see my response to comments that following our faith stops us from truly being free and the resentment that forms in our hearts as a result.

Today with the 20 minutes of free time that I had I decided to sit in silence with Mary instead of hectically running around trying to throw together a post for today. My small reflection for you all - find ten to twenty minutes to sit outside today alone in the silence and just be with God. Don’t chat His ear off or expect some crazy revelation - just sit with Him in the present moment in gratitude of His love. It will transform your whole day I promise.

Today my school is celebrating #denimday in support of sexual assault victims with the reminder that there is no excuse and never an invitation to rape. We wear denim in remembrance of a girl who was blamed for being assaulted based on the clothing she wore. We cannot allow that language to continue in our culture and as Pope Francis has said it’s an “absolute monstrosity, a terrible sin that contradicts everything the church teaches.” We must stand with the men and women who have been forced into these terrible situations and ensure they know that they are loved and walk with them towards true healing in the heart of the Father.

“Satan fears Mary more than God because, firstly, in his pride, he suffers infinitely more from being conquered and punished by a small and humble handmaid of God; her humility humiliates him more than the power of God. Secondly, because God has given Mary such power over evil spirits that, as they themselves have often unwillingly admitted through the mouths of the possessed, they fear but one of her sighs for a soul more than the prayers of all the saints, and but one of her threats more than all their other torments.” - Louis De Montfort * It’s my anniversary and my post reflects that but more then that it’s my reflection throughout the years of what Mary’s Fiat means to us.

Beautiful women and beautiful cherry blossoms. It’s crazy what a day filled with women who inspire you and fill you with joy can do for your whole mood. I went into this adventure exhausted and sore. I left it completely rejuvenated, on fire, and definitely more sore. We all need women in our life - women who are ahead of us in our faith, women who are walking with us, and women we are helping along. We were made to love each other, not be in competition. I say we all make a pact to be more intentional about loving and supporting the women in our lives this next week and see how it changes our mood - I promise you won’t regret it
