I hope you all have a great week!! #catholic #names #babynames #catholicnames #catholicbabynames #mariannames #marianbabynames #mothermaryftw #powerfulpatrons

My baby, who is turning 4 next month (longtime readers: can you believe it?? 🤯), drew this picture of me today. I'd like to think that's a halo on top of my head 😇 but I think it's just the bun I secured with a clip this morning (swipe to see)! 😂😂😂

I came across this old cemetery this week and wanted to ask you all to pray for those buried here. Though I certainly don't know the beliefs of every non-Catholic Christian denomination or person, I've always understood that "praying for the dead" is generally frowned upon among Protestants, and I've often felt a great responsibility to pray for our departed brothers and sisters who have no one praying for them. I was also struck by the names on the two tombstones closest to me when I was walking by (it was fenced and I was taking a quick breather during a run, so I didn't investigate further to see if all the stones were like this) -- both had the first name of the deceased in the place where the surname is in every cemetery I've visted and walked through. A strange custom, to have the first names listed rather than the family names, no? Do you know if it was more common during this time period (mid-19th century), or could it be a religious practice? Or maybe it was understood to be the Wickham family plot, so it wasn't as necessary to have the surname prominently listed? But also, wouldn't it have been more common for Charlotte to have been buried in her husband's family plot? Either way, Charlotte (d. 1859), daughter of Benjamin and Sylvia Wickham and wife of A. Squire, and her brother William W. (d. 1866) might certainly still be in need of our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

I posted a #birthannouncement this morning for a little guy with one of my favorite faithy #names -- it was on my own list for a long time! It's perfect for boys born during the Easter season, or -- like this baby -- any time of year! You must go check out his amazing #name and adorable face (and read his birth story, if that's your thing) (it's definitely my thing! 😍). {link in bio} #catholic #babynames #catholicnames #Easter #easternames #powerfulpatrons
