Testimonials

I just wanted to say how lovely your Our Lady of Sorrows is! I wasn’t
even looking for a rosary when I came across it, and the lovely pale
blue pearls drew me in! Beautiful work!

 "I love the Rosary bracelet I bought while at AbbeyFest!  The color and quality are exquisite.  It is especially important to me to support small, Catholic businesses and this husband and wife team is wonderful!  Their deep personal faith and desire to share God's goodness through their work is evident."

I don't even mind the scars

I don't even mind the scars

by Kathleen Tobin
We had been looking forward to my niece’s wedding and to seeing my brother, sister-in-law and their family in Idaho for months! I wouldn’t even let myself get too excited or talk much about the trip just in case it didn’t happen for some reason (the ol’ Irish optimism). Well, a week before the trip, I had what I thought were mosquito bites on one arm that then became full blown poison ivy as the day approached for departure for our trip. ... Well, it [became] so agonizing for me and so “poorly” timed, in my mind, that I’ve been meditating on what could possibly be God’s message to me in all of this. ...

Lent ... again

We must allow God to take out all that is damaged ...  so that He can re-create us into a better version of ourselves. Like the old saying goes, God loves us as we are but too much to leave us there.

The Battle belongs to the Lord

The Battle belongs to the Lord

by Kathleen Tobin
“All this multitude, too, shall learn that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves. For the battle belongs to the LORD…” 1 Samuel 17:47 ...Let us hold on to Mary our Mother, who witnessed and lived the same battle of good vs. evil in Her life, firsthand experiencing the blessings and pains of the gift of free will, living a life of sacrifice and love, not returning evil for evil but with God’s grace, turning evil to good.

Come away with Me into the desert

Come away with Me into the desert

by Kathleen Tobin
As we enter these 40 days of prayer and fasting, following Jesus into the desert, let us offer our sacrifices united with His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross, for conversion of hearts starting with our own, for peace in the world and for protection of all those suffering in war-torn Ukraine.
