With Trinity Sunday right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to round up these Trinity resources! Of course, I'd say the most famous reference to the Trinity is St. Patrick with his shamrock, but I just can't seem to get in the shamrock mood in the Summer time. It's just a March kinda thing for me. So... I'm going to keep this post St. Patrick and shamrock free. You can find … [Read more...]

One of the main ideas behind Catholic Icing has ALWAYS been to take the things we are already doing during the year, and twist them to keep the focus on God. And what do we do every Easter? Buy and consume tons of candy. So, why not point that candy at the true meaning of Easter? The resurrection! If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to do it! Want … [Read more...]
I want to start out by saying that rather than just thinking of what to "give up" for Lent, you should also think of what you can "take up" during Lent. The idea is to try adding more prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to your life during the Lenten season. (When we "give something up", that falls under "fasting".)
