Do you celebrate your Baptism Day?

I remember hearing this idea as an adult and thinking it is such a great idea - to celebrate one’s birthday into a life with Jesus Christ! Well, today is my baptismal anniversary and pictured here is the Church where I was baptized. It is the Presbyterian Church in Rock Stream, NY, where my father grew up. I have relatives who served as pastors here and a lot of family history in this small little Church.

Now my baptism was Catholic - the priest from Watkins Glen baptized both my older brother and I into the Catholic faith, but here in my father’s family Church as half the family was Presbyterian. I look back on my baptism with happiness and joy, and I love this blend of family tradition with my Catholic faith.

While my father was born and raised in the Presbyterian Church (my mother is and always was Catholic), he would go on to enter the Catholic Church at my younger brother’s baptism (which took place in a Catholic Church). Today, my younger brother and my father are both ordained priests - one Roman Catholic and one Maronite Catholic.

As I reflect back upon my unusual Baptism Day, I am amazed to think of how the grace of our Lord works in our lives! The Lord truly moves in mysterious ways, and I am so grateful for being a part of His family and having His life in me!

This time of year brings along many challenges, such as: flu season, & dry and cracked skin. Washing our hands is especially important right now to stop the spread of flu and keep ourselves healthy, but then you might deal with dry skin, and worse case you have cracked and bleeding hands.

One great way to help with these challenges is using all natural bar soaps! Bar soaps are the most hydrating, while keeping your skin clean!

Check out our wide array of soap recipes, natural additives, and various fragrances (a couple are without fragrance for those who have particularly sensitive skin)!

As we come to the end of the Maronite Liturgical Year this weekend, here at Monastic Creations we reached a wonderful milestone - we completed our first year creating the Cedar Kids weekly bulletin! I have come to really appreciate what goes into a weekly publication and am so grateful for and all her hard work and dedication in making this possible!

We plan to continue with Volume 2 in this coming Liturgical Year! One main change is going to be the back page. Rather than writing about the Old Testament reading in the Divine Liturgy, this section will be on the New Testament reading!

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this endeavor! 🙏

One thing I love about fall is cleaning up the gardens and starting the process to get them ready for next year.

Just began cleaning up the pumpkin patch garden. The area is very low and very wet, so I am trying to build up a sustaining Hugelkultur bed - basically a composting raised bed. A friend gave me a truck load of wood that I was going to put in the bonfire pit, but I decided to use it in the garden instead. Now I will just continue building it up with grass clippings and mulched leaves. We will see how well it remains in the spring!

Pumpkin patch did well this year! So I baked and puréed a few and put in the freezer! Will have to make some pumpkin pie and pumpkin kibee! Most of the pumpkins I will feed to the chickens!
