Blog Reading|Leah|Guardian Angels Don't Wear Capes, They Dodge Cattle

What happens when a 1,400-pound steer collides with your child—and he walks away? In this episode, I share the true story of a terrifying farm accident that could have ended in tragedy but instead became a profound reminder of God's providence. As I watched helplessly from the sidelines, I was certain the worst had happened. What unfolded next left our family asking: Was it simply a series of fortunate circumstances, or was a guardian angel at work? We'll explore what the Catholic Church actually teaches about guardian angels, how they participate in God's providence, and why their primary mission is to lead us safely to eternal life. Along the way, I'll share reflections from the Catechism, and St. Thomas Aquinas on the mysterious role angels play in both our spiritual and physical lives. Whether you're a lifelong Catholic or simply curious about the unseen ways God cares for His children, this episode is an invitation to trust more deeply in His loving protection. Join me for a story of faith, farming, and the extraordinary grace that can be found in the ordinary moments of life.

Blog Reading| Leah| Of Smells and Bells: A Catholic Perspective on the Sensory Aspect of Our Faith

In this week’s blog reading, Leah takes a trip down memory lane and reflects on how her memories are often experienced through sounds and smells rather than dates and timelines. From the creak of the milkhouse door swinging shut to the sweet aroma of freshly cut alfalfa, memories emerge as a rich blend of sensory experiences and emotions. Drawing from these reflections, Leah explores how the wisdom of the Catholic faith engages our senses through the tradition often described as “smells and bells.” She considers how sacred sights, sounds, and scents can capture our attention, and deepen our participation in worship.
