Just sewed a veil for myself with my mom :)
It turned out really well, if I can find my camera I’ll post pictures.
I decided I didn’t want to swelter under a scarf (which is what I usually veil with in winter since it’s so easy/warm) at daily mass while waiting for my ordered veil to ship haha
In the midst of the terrible and messy and difficult business of standing up for the truth and learning and following it yourself in the meantime (because nobody’s perfect least of all me and it sucks) lets not forget how awesome and blessed it is to get to be part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and all the beauty and awesomeness that comes with it like a big hug. Because saints aren’t meant to be unhappy, we are meant to rejoice, and look to the future with delight and hope, and remember what it means to party because there’s no party like a Catholic party ‘cause a Catholic party don’t stop. (Please see the Irish and the Mexican Catholics for reference. They rocked it out of the park.) So here’s my plan. On June 29th, the feast of St. Peter the Apostle, let’s throw a Catholic tumblr celebration. I want memes, I want fun facts, I want celebration of Church history, I want prayers, I want trappestine candy (if only in pics!), and most of all I want unabashed joyful excitement over what it means to be Catholic and what it has added to your life! Geek out! Fangirl! Dance around singing! Post all about it! Because we are Catholic. And we are so blessed. Let’s share that joy of Christ with the world! June 29th. Alleluia! Reblog to R.S.V.P. and share with your followers. Let’s make this big.
Tag…. #Catholic Party 29

Protection of late-term abortion seems paramount to the “practicing and respectful Catholic” politician
So I need to buy a new mantilla/chapel veil (my favorite one that I just bought in a physical store was lost in the move back home, all the sad). Any suggestions for where to buy one from online??
If I do get an F I could always just quit. I’ve got my required two years of college and can go join a cloistered monastic order finally.
So one of my professors entered in my grade wrong (wrong as in F) and then proceeded to jaunt off to Denmark and is completely unreachable.
Please say a prayer for this situation to get resolved quickly and easily!
Not really.
It’s just a short story about me taking half an hour to find the Catholic Church that offers the TLM when it should have only taken six.
First I just got normal lost. Which is a given with me and I always give myself an extra ten minutes wherever I’m going to account for this.
But then it really got out of hand. Such as detours to nowhere, steeple spotting when my phone ran out of battery, and a guy running a stop sign and almost hitting me. I also realized that the only landmark I knew around was the house of my ex/friend and drove there to get my bearings while also hoping he didn’t see me and think I was awkwardly lurking. But best of all….
The adventure also featured me walking into the wrong catholic church full on with my veil, breviary, and rosary in hand. Then I saw that no one else was veiling and everyone was wearing jeans so I was probably in the wrong place.
So forty minutes later I finally found my TLM parish and it was amazing.

Love this quote from the article:
In Catholicism God knows, loves, and forgives you, no matter what; your own opinion of yourself is interesting but irrelevant.
An article by (celibate) gay Catholic Eve Tushnet. I don’t know if a direct response to this article, but it’s referenced.

In case you’re just now tuning into “Megan: A Life of Illness” I had to delay my final essays (due to falling down a spiral staircase) and they were all due this week.
I’ve written 65 pages in 4 days and my brain is a giant sack of sad pudding mush.
But! They were all on really cool topics so I thought I’d share.
#1: A performance art piece and essay exploring the Drogo Sacramentary, one of the earliest Ordos for the Dedication of a Church #latin #funtimez
#2: Essay on the limits of William James’ portrayal of mysticism as applied to Medieval Christian Mystics and the deep issues of using mystical experiences as the “unifying root of all religion” #stbernard #myfave #thatclasswasreallyhardandhopefullyidon’tfail
#3: Analysis of the Crucifixion Altarpiece at the Chartreuse de Champmol, specifically eucharistic imagery and spatial usage of both painted and sculpted mediums #gradclass #youwillbeinundatedwithpictures
