This is a F&PB series we started to speak truth and love to all those single, in relationships, and discerning to help live in light of eternity. Perhaps a man or woman has captured your heart, but ultimately we are all meant to look upon Jesus Christ and say, “He has my heart.” Join our friends … Continue reading
Jesus promised His disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble. – G.K. Chesterton Continue reading
On a recent trip, I visited a Baptist youth minister to learn about youth ministry in their church. He told me that if there’s one thing he could instill in the youth, it would be a love for the Word. I told him I knew that there’s the all too familiar joke that Catholics don’t … Continue reading
Becs and I have fallen in love as of late…with these posters. We stumbled upon them on Facebook as friends of ours began to use them as cover photos and now, we just can’t get enough. These were just some of our favourites…although it’s terribly hard to choose… Can you tell that we’re just a … Continue reading
F&PB lovers, We’re so excited to bring you our first follow-up!! You might remember several months ago right around Valentine’s we published a series called ‘Divine Romance’ about being single-hearted. Don’t be fooled by our #cheesy titles, the series gave us much to ponder and pray about. A couple weeks ago, Emily approached us wanting … Continue reading
The first memories I have of asking for Mary’s intercession were when my family would gather at my grandmother’s house to pray for my grandfather, whose health had begun to decline. We all sat in the living room once a week and took turns leading a decade of the rosary. I was ten years old, … Continue reading
Merry May to all our faithful F+PB followers.

You, friends have no doubt been in our prayers. To … Continue reading
Y’all know how I feel about Catherine. No introduction needed. Wise words for everyday and not just Lent. “Lent is the time to control our speech. To control speech is to recover its sacredness, to understand that sometimes the words of an innocent ‘joke,’ spoken without thinking, can have disastrous results, can be the ‘last … Continue reading
So it’s almost February…how are we doing in terms of sticking to those pesky resolutions? Have you made a ‘stop-doing’ list? Here’s my resolution story: While I was at Rise Up, I was speaking with a woman from Madonna House. She shared with me a tradition in their community. Every New Years, members of Madonna House turn … Continue reading
Becs and I thought it just about now that you {like us} might be wavering in your New Years Resolutions. So we’ve come up with a couple different takes on the traditional resolutions to inspire you and give you another running start to making 2013 & the Year of Faith even more awesome than you … Continue reading
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can. -Thomas Merton in a letter … Continue reading
Last week Eunice blogged about St. Maximilian Kolbe and today I get to write about the man who canonized him: Blessed John Paul II! Disclaimer: there is going to be way more photos in this post than usual because I couldn’t possibly decide on just one. Born Karol Wojtyla, he was a labourer, a poet, … Continue reading
