  • It was really apparent, when I launched Lux U back in early 2019, that we had a phenomenal product. Great courses on the faith, created and filmed FOR the Catholic woman (and 💯 Catholic) BUT it wasn’t quite right. It was close. But it was missing #Community and our platform wasn’t built to optimize that. We needed that beautiful gift of authentic sisterhood. You know, that irreplaceable, almost indescribable THING that women do when they come together. We Connect. We share. We care. When we put down our defensives, when we trust that the women around us actually *want* us to be fully alive in Christ, it is *so* much easier to be ourselves. It’s that deep breath or the release of tears when you KNOW you are loved, accepted, seen AND heard. That’s who we are. #LuxLadies. We see you. We hear you. We love you. Just where you are, but we love you enough not to leave you there. We walk together towards the Way, Truth and Life. #Jesus We found a way. We found our answer in the #LuxApp. You are WELCOME here, sister! Come check us out! YES, we pray. YES, we have our own chaplain. YES, we have courses on the faith. BUT WE ALSO HAVE EACH OTHER! (and I’m #notsorry I put that in all caps). ...and frankly, that’s my fave part. That we have each other. We share our sufferings, our joys and concerns. We have a little #Luxtribe going on inside the app. Seriously, check it out. I really think this will bless you. And regardless, I am praying that you find your tribe of sisters who support you in your walk with Christ! 🙌🏻. I Love you!!! 💕 👊🏻TAG your tribe! 👏🏻TAG that girl who always supports you. 💞Share the love. Share sisterhood! 👯‍♀️ #linkinbio
  • An open letter to Catholic Priests on this Passion Sunday: Today, while attending Mass online and watching my Priest say Mass in an empty church, it was glaringly obvious how much we need one another. Priests and the Laity. We are called to be one family. And like any family, there are hurts. We have been deeply wounded. Some of you have betrayed us, abandoned us, and abused us. YOU, Priests, who are to be “in persona Christi” , some have acted more like Judas than Jesus. Even now, when we have such separation from you, we still hurt ...and yet we still desire reconciliation. And, WE MUST own up to the reality that we, the laity, have hurt you too. We have turned our hearts to the world. We have dismissed you. We have ignored your invitations to experience the mercy and healing of Christ Jesus. We mock you with how little we reverence Jesus - whom you have given your life for. Yes, we have hurt you too, brother Priests. And we are sorry. Please forgive us for “we know not what we do”. But we (still) need one another. We are family. The “harvest is abundant but the laborers are few”. And if those “few laborers” fight and hurt one another, we can no longer reap the harvest. We will become the tree that produces bad fruit and are only fit for the fire. My prayer is that WE (laity and religious) try to not be the cause of the sufferings of Christ, but rather console Him in those who suffer around us. Christ looked upon Jerusalem with pity. WE have hurt the Lord with our unfaithfulness. Together, let us rebuild the Church. Not just fill the pews, but fill our hearts with Christ Jesus. It IS time to repent. Let us cast our burdens upon the Lord, prepare our Hearts for His coming, and worship in Truth and Spirit. TOGETHER. One day, the Church doors will open, and I pray you see a hungry crowd waiting to enter, ready to worship and receive the Eucharistic Christ. I pray, on that glorious day, we see you, Father, eager to embrace your flock, bold in preaching the Gospel and unwavering in Truth. Lead us. Bring Christ to us. And LET US HELP YOU remember what “the faithful” really looks, sounds and acts like. ...And ALL for the glory of God.
  • Extra down time means extra reflection, reminiscing, and gratitude. The girl in this photo couldn’t know everything that the Lord was about to do. Not a clue that by now, she’d have given birth to her fifth beautiful child (#babiesanddreams!) living a life of pure joy as a wife and mom, and be responsible for launching and running the first Catholic app for Catholic women. But the Lord’s plans were way grander than anything she could have dreamed up. And isn’t that how it always goes? The Lord never reveals it all at once. Instead He gives us the grace for the next step. And if we cooperate with Him, step by step, He ushers us into what we never could have done on our own. Today, I’m thanking the Lord for what His plan has led to in my life — a beautiful family, a ministry that I believe in deeply, and a real community of Catholic women inside The Lux App who inspire me in the ways they embrace the gift of their femininity for the glory of God. His plans are always better. What if His plan has surprised you in this wild life? Where did the Lord do what you never would have done yourself, but you couldn’t imagine life without? Let me know in the comments and join us inside The Lux App where we discern, pray, and share glory as a community... because the Lord’s plans, His faithfulness... it is all too good to live in isolation! Hop on the app through the link in my bio. Can’t wait to see you there. #TeamLux #babiesanddreams #luxladies
  • I like to run this path by my house pretty regularly. I like to get out of my house, out of my head, and breathe in fresh air and soak in crisp mornings and cool evenings. There’s just something about the rhythm of a run and the rhythm of routine that just settles the human heart. And during this time, when routine means something wildly different than it did a week ago, I think, more than ever, we need this rhythm. Between the video chats with teachers, helping kiddos with school work, back to back to back zoom calls... we need to make time and space for moments of peace, silence, rest, and prayer. How are you working that into your days during this season? How are you protecting the time you have and avoiding the day getting away from you? Let me know in the comments how you’re maintaining rhythm, what that rhythm looks like, and what the Lord’s been saying to you in it. If you want to enter more intentionally into a daily routine of prayer and rest (and without doing a bunch of work on your own 😅) join us inside The Lux App (link in bio). We’re praying together everyday together, as a community of women, and we can’t wait for you to join us💖 #LuxLadies #TeamLux #prayer #routine #quarantineroutine #rest #peace
