WWSGD: What would a straight girl do?īy turns hilarious, poignant, and searingly honest, The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School explores the joys and heartaches of stepping into your full truth in a world that, too often, tells queer people of color not to be too much of themselves.
If word got to her mom, she could face a lot worse than rejection. Either way, she isn't ready to make the same mistake again. But Yami isn't sure if she likes Bo or if she's just jealous of her unapologetic nature. The thing is, it's hard to fake being straight when Bo, the only openly queer girl at school, is so annoyingly perfect. Granted, she's never been great at any of those things, but that's a problem for Future Yami. But at least here no one knows she's gay, and Yami intends to keep it that way.Īfter being outed by her crush and ex-best friend before transferring to Slayton Catholic, Yami has new priorities: keep her brother out of trouble, make her mom proud, and most importantly, don't fall in love. Seventeen-year-old Yamilet Flores prefers drawing attention for her killer eyeliner, not for being one of the only Mexican kids at her new, mostly white, very rich, Catholic school. Most importantly, Dan is a blessed husband, father of four, grandfather of one-and grateful to be Catholic.Sonora Reyes' debut YA novel is a knockout-a sharply funny and incredibly moving portrait of a queer Mexican American girl learning to celebrate who she is at her very core.
In his deep commitment to the advancement of faithful Catholic spirituality, he is also the founder of Apostoli Viae, a world-wide, private association of the faithful dedicated to living and advancing the authentic spiritual patrimony of the Church. Past episodes can be found, along with thousands of articles on the interior life, at. He is presently the founder and President of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, which offers graduate and personal enrichment studies in spiritual theology to priests, deacons, religious, and laity in 90 countries and prepares men for seminary in over 40 dioceses.ĭan is the author and editor of numerous books on authentic Catholic spirituality and hosts the Divine Intimacy Radio show with his wife, Stephanie, which is broadcast weekly on EWTN Radio. This is a fantastic book and a great pace to start!ĭan Burke is the past President and C.O.O. Next week she will profile the first book, Spiritual Combat by Lorenzo Scupoli, and layout a timeline for our reading together. PS: Vicki will post at least once a week on Tuesdays. No time for reading at this stage in your life? Then by all means, join Vicki anyway and be inspired by thought-provoking quotes as well as commentary for those of us who would like to develop a heart of “Mary” in this “Martha” world. Readers will be encouraged to comment and interact about the reflection or whatever they have read that they would like to share.Vicki will regularly post an excerpt and reflections from the current chapter.Vicki will determine a reasonable pace of reading (chapter(s) or pages per week).Readers will each obtain a copy of the book and read it offline.We will select a book (always faithful to the Church of course).Rather than have her start another local club, we thought it would be fun to establish an online book club here! Now that she and her family have moved again, she’s hoping to find others who would like to be amazed with her at all that Our Lord has to offer us through Holy Mother Church. There she started a Classics Book Club among Catholics and that too, evolved into a Catholic Book Club. She is a convert to the Catholic Church and an avid reader who organized a Catholic Book Club in Chicago, before moving to Kansas City in 2005. Vicki is a wife and mother of six children ages 18 months to 13 years. Given this reality, we are grateful to have a new team member with Catholic Spiritual Direction who has a passion for sharing and discussing the rich treasures of the Church with others. Inside or outside of spiritual direction, it is an absolute must if we desire the abundant life that Christ offers to us. For many of you, drinking from the pure wells of the Church has become a regular lifeline when unable to find a suitable spiritual director.Īs you know, spiritual reading is an essential element to any healthy life of faith.
