While it might look like I’m blocking my husband from shaking the pope’s hand, this is actually my husband placing the Holy Father’s hand into mine 🙂 |
My husband and I were married on October 5th in my hometown of Memphis, TN. It sounds cliché to say this, but it really was the happiest day of my life. After 3 years of working with engaged couples at my parish and teaching the Theology of the Body, it was wonderful to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage with my best friend, surrounded by our family and friends. God is so good!
From the very top of St. Peter’s Basilica |
One of my favorite places was St. Peter’s Basilica. The moment we stepped into the building it felt like home. The artwork was breathtaking, and the architecture impressive; but what made that basilica feel like I was standing in my home parish was the realization that this is where the foundations of our Catholic faith were laid. It gave a whole new meaning to “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mt 16:18).
