Plain Catholics in the Mountains and Valleys: Wintering Up

Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12

Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI

But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Wintering Up

The chores we do to prepare for cold weather we call "wintering up". Mulching the vegetable and flower beds; cutting firewood; tightening up the windows and doors. The days are shorter, the leaves changed to brilliant rubies and golds.

What do you do to prepare yourself for life's winter? Walk closely with Jesus and you will be kept warm.
That's me away.
