This Could be Why My Home is Currently Devoid of Any Pretty Extras from the Pottery Barn Catalog

A stunning sentence from my Carmel homework today,

A strong word choice from the Carmelite Constitution to highlight the necessity of penance in the average Catholic girl's life.

(And here I'd hoped to skate up to the glory of spiritual marriage based on the mere discomfort of five pregnancies alone!)
