By Her Side

  • by

When life is hard, who do you lean on? Today on the blog, Bonnie Shaw shares a time when she found peace at the side of a special friend.

I Miss You!

“Meanwhile, my spirit cries out, ‘But, I miss your precious blood. I miss holy water and sacraments like Baptism, Anointing of the Sick for the Dying. I miss the Treasury of the Church that is locked away from the Faithful.'” In honor of the month of the Precious Blood, Bonnie Shaw shares what fasting from the cup has meant to her.

By Name

This week on the blog, Bonnie Shaw writes in memory of a much beloved grandmother.

Giving Up

“The ache of what had been given up, said “no” to in order to say “yes” to supporting my husband, to meeting the needs of my family through moves, differing stages of life, and through health crises was blooming in my heart. The willing sacrifice and decisions made on my part had been a beautiful gift to my family … Like Jesus, the giving up was the sacrifice that made His gift beautiful.” Bonnie Shaw reflects on a topic many women can relate to in her latest post for The Well.

Trust in the Face of Fear

“We are called to be salt and light, blessed salt for others and light in a dark and weary world. We cannot be either of these effectively if we, ourselves, are stuck in a place of fear, too afraid to lend a hand to our neighbor or love one another.” In her latest blog post at The Well, Bonnie Shaw shares why trust in God will conquer fear in times such as these.

Come to the Table

New at the blog: “Though we can respond to His invitation with but a fraction of what He deserves, every moment we spend time with Him, no doubt, He is wholly pleased.” Bonnie Shaw invites us to just come.
