Wow...thank you!

Mathetes Award for Excellence in Discipleship

Kimberely at Catholic Family Vignettes has nominated me (me?) for the Mathetes Award for Excellence in Discipleship.


Wow, I'm speechless. I know I am quite undeserving as it is I who am inspired by her! I read Kimberely's blog everyday, it's a touchstone for faith enrichment.

Kimberely writes, "Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great Commission) it to make more disciples. So the rules for accepting the award are such: Winners of this award must pick five other "disciples" to pass it on to, and provide links for (1) the originator of the award (Dan King of management by God), (2) the person that awarded it to you, and then (3) name and sites of the five people that you believe are fulfilling the role of a disciple of Christ. "

I read a lot of blogs daily, it's a mortification of my will to choose just 5. But, for the volume of their Catholic content, my daily encouragement and lots of spiritual nourishment in the blog world comes from these disciples:


Of course, Kimberely at Catholic Family Vignettes


Elena Maria Vidal at Tea at Trianon

Helen at Castle of the Immaculate

Fr. Z at What Does The Prayer Really Say

PJP and those at Recapturing Our Catholic Patrimony


May God richly bless these disciples as they have blessed me.
