Stay Tuned for a Deep Dive on Cultivating Your Prayer Life

Aug 31, 2021 | Blog Posts

Hello Everyone!

August was a quieter month here at St. Joseph’s Shelf.  The break was good for our team of writers, I think. Besides, I very much enjoyed writing several passing musings, mostly based on insights picked up from homilies and talks.  It’s nice when God just dumps the material for articles into your lap.  

With the arrival of September, we’re ready to resume our twice weekly posting schedule with a series on cultivating a deeper prayer life.  Readers offered some great ideas for articles in this series.  Some topics suggested include: the role of the elderly and the homebound, where to turn for human support for help with your spiritual life, and the issue of avoiding distractions during prayer.  Thank you for these suggestions!  I never would have thought of them, and believe me, you’ve gotten my mind churning with ideas (a fantastic feeling for a writer).  Stay tuned for upcoming articles on these and other topics.

Last of all, we have the October poll posted.  It’s up now through September 9th.  Options include the Human Body in Theology, Relationships between Men and Women, and Readers’ Choice (i.e., you submit requests for topics you’d like us to write about.)  Weigh in now with your say!  Your feedback is anonymous and greatly appreciated.

Thank you, as always, for partaking in the apostolate of St. Joseph’s Shelf.  Have a blessed September!

Mary’s Immaculate Conception: What It Means for You and Me

The dogma of the Immaculate Conception teaches that Mary was preserved from any stain of sin from the first moment of her conception onward. It’s a stunning truth to ponder, yet perhaps we might wonder how we can relate to a woman so pure and exalted. Here, then, are four things you and I can draw from Mary’s Immaculate Conception in relation to our everyday lives.
