"Elena of My Domestic Church get’s my nomination for living a life of loveliness that I could only ever dream of. She’s an awesome wife and mother, a deeply committed Catholic, a proponent of pro-life issues, a hands on make-and-bake-and-cut-and-stick-musical-momma, a prayerful, compassionate, thoughtful and passionate woman who endeavours to live a christocentric life in her own euphonious way.

Favorite Quotes

"It is right to begin with the obligations of home, and, while these are overlooked and neglected, no other duties can
possibly be substituted for them." - Charles Dickens

"A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but a foolish
man's heart directs him toward the left." -- Ecclesiastes 10:2

"I believe it to be a great mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense in it....We
cannot blink at the fact that gentle Jesus meek and mild was so stiff in his opinions and so inflammatory in his language
that he was thrown out of church, stoned, hunted from place to place, and finally gibbeted as a firebrand and a public danger. Whatever his peace was, it was not the peace of an amiable indifference."--Dorothy Sayers

"Thirteenth Rule. To be right in everything, we ought always to hold that the white which I see, is black, if the Hierarchical Church so decides it, believing that between Christ our Lord, the Bridegroom, and the Church, His Bride, there is the same Spirit which governs and directs us for the salvation of our souls. "St. Ignatius Loyola.

"There are not over a 100 people in the U.S. that hate the Catholic Church, there are millions however, who hate what
they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church -- which is, of course, quite a different thing." -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

"Like the sun rising over the mountans of the Lord is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house."--Sirach 26:21

"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be. "C.S. Lewis

"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from
me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for [a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." Ez 33:7-9

"Grandchildren are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their parentage." Proverbs 17:6

"Behold, sons are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3

"Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him." Soujourner Truth

"I am going on a diet. From this day forward, I pledge there will be no pork chop too succulent! No donut too tasty! No
pizza too laden with delicious toppings to prevent me from reaching my scientifically-determined ideal weight! As God as my witness, I'll always be hungry again!"Homer Simpson

"A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt

"And today I go down to the secular equivalent of hell, the secretary of state's office" Jane at Vox Lauri Blog

"It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.” - William G. McAdoo

"Ignorance of Christ and his Gospel, bad example given by others, enslavement to one's passions, assertion of a mistaken notion of autonomy of conscience, rejection of the Church's authority and her teaching, lack of conversion and of charity: these can be at the source of errors of judgment in moral conduct." PP1792 Catechism Catholic Church.
