My name is Gabriela – I’m a wife, stay-at-home mom, and homemaker with a deep love for Christ and His Bride, the Holy Catholic Church. I hope to inspire and  encourage fellow Catholics to seek Christ and live out their lives for Him.

I am a cradle Catholic, which for me meant that I always had an active faith growing up. However, my understanding of the Church’s teachings was very basic, and it wasn’t until my college years that I began to realize it. I had a very loving and supportive group of Catholic friends in college, all of whom have a special place in my heart. They encouraged me to explore the Faith and foster a deeper relationship with Christ. In my sophomore year of college, I started an Instagram blog where I share my inspirations and experiences as a Catholic woman.

It was also in college where I met my husband, Mark. He had stopped by the University’s Catholic center for Mass on the feast of the Assumption of Mary. We quickly became friends and soon began our courtship. Fast forward to today,  we are married and raising our first son.

During our engagement, Mark introduced me to the Traditional Latin Mass. My eyes were opened to the beauty and reverence for Our Lord in the Eucharist. To think that many of the Church’s greatest saints once worshiped in this way was nothing short of amazing. Ever since then, I’ve become passionate about the traditions of our Catholic heritage.

After nearly a year into our marriage, and a year and a half of working full time as a pediatric neurology nurse, I quit my career to embrace my vocation as stay-at-home mom. This has been a blessing for our family, which continues to teach me the importance of raising up the next generation in the Faith.

Thank you for checking out my blog! I hope you find it inspiring and encouraging in your own Faith journey.

God bless!

– Gabriela
