Living July LITurgically | Top 5 Catholic Feast Days & July Devotion

Did you know the Catholic Church has its own calendar filled with seasons, feast days, saints, and celebrations that help us grow closer to Christ all year long? In this episode of the Living LIT Podcast, we're diving into the month of July—dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus—and exploring five beautiful feast days that can help bring the rhythms of the Church into the little church you call home. Just as many of us naturally celebrate the Fourth of July with traditions, gatherings, decorations, and special foods, liturgical living invites us to intentionally observe the sacred moments on the Church's calendar. Through simple Holy Pauses, family traditions, shared meals, prayer, and joyful celebrations, we begin to let the life of the Church shape the life of our homes. Together we'll explore: • July dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus • St. Maria Goretti and the transforming power of forgiveness • St. Benedict and the beauty of Ora et Labora—prayer and work • Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Mary's loving protection • Saints Anne and Joachim and the gift of passing on the faith • St. Ignatius of Loyola, discernment, and living Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam ("For the Greater Glory of God") Whether you're brand new to liturgical living or have celebrated feast days for years, this episode is filled with gentle, practical ideas to help you pause, celebrate, and enter more deeply into the beauty of the Church year. Remember—you don't have to do everything. Choose one or two celebrations that fit your family, your season, and your schedule. Liturgical living is meant to be special, not stressful. May these simple ideas encourage you to embrace one more Holy Pause this month and discover the joy of living the Faith one feast, one season, and one ordinary day at a time.
