Dear Katie, you rock. Haters gon' hate. <3
You rock too! Thanks for writing
I get such a kick out of these! I might be a Protestant girl, but most of these can apply to any Jesus-lovin' girl. :) My husband and I have done some major studying in the Song of Songs (The Peasant Princess at Mars Hill Church) & the SoS Hey Girls kill us. We send them to each other. The one "Hey Girl, I'm praying for you" has been passed onto a friend's sister-in-law who is just starting chemo for uterine cancer. She loved it! Not only are these funny, but they are encouraging! Thanks!
WOOOO! I love it! Us Jesus-loving girls gotta stick together ;) thanks so much for writing… I love how you passed it on as encouragement. This is what makes it worthwhile.
God Bless!

Yeah that one was a mess. I wanted to use the picture and I thought of that and… Ugh. I don’t like it either. Not one of my shining moments. Thanks for writing!
God Bless,

“Trials help greatly to detach us from earth. They make us look to God, rather than to this world.”
—St. Therese of Lisieux (via lilacturtl)
“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.”
—St. Therese of Lisieux (via aspiringsaint)

Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us!
I can't believe that last ask you got! It saddens me that people still think that way simply because that's how they've been raised and don't know any better. It's pure ignorance and it's really a shame.
It makes me sad, too. :( I wish I could make everybody happy, but in reality, I can’t.
Thanks for the love!

I've never understood why people think Catholicism is false idol worship, etc. It was the original, morons. Ever actually read the Bible? That's where all the sacraments come from. I apologize on behalf of all the decent Protestants in the world that you received an ask like that. I think you know which one I'm talking about even if I refuse to type out her disgusting blog name. It's holier-than-thou people like that, who don't understand love, who give all Christians a bad name. God bless.
Thank you so much. I agree 100%. I respect all opinions, but I recently discovered I only respect them if they’re educated, not biased and make sense.
Thanks for the love!!
God Bless!

Was the previous "asker" your first hate mail? The you must be doing something right... she had a fantastically interesting URL as well.... but anyways... love the blog, please keep it up :)
It was my first hate mail, but when people reblog some of the posts, they say some… Not so nice things. I See it when I check the notes. Thank you for taking the time to send this! Honestly, this is the reason this blog is continuing. Love conquers hate :)
God Bless!

“
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.
” —James 1:2-8 MSG (via omegashogun)James 1:6
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
“One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
—Romans 14:5-8 (via notbreadalone)
Ever since I found this blog, I have fallen in love with Ryan even more <3 hahaha this is amazing. Great blog! <3 :]
Thank you so much!
I'm giving up my best friend. We both decided we want to discern what God has planned for our relationship, if it is romantic or not. He is also discerning the Priesthood so I wanted to give him fewer distractions.
That is so fantastic!! God bless you for giving up something like that and for being such a good friend! —-Katie
“Prayer is the key that opens your day to every blessing. It also is a lock that closes the night to keep you safe while sleeping. So what you have to do is “use your key all the time.”

Your posts crack me up every single day. I love all of them so much.
I’m so glad! That means so much to me!! Messages like these are what keep this blog running :)

Hey I am giving up sweets for Lent. But I am also starting the 8 week “Meeting Christ in Prayer” (need more info let me know :)) as well as 40 Letters in 40 Days. I also know of friends giving up Facebook and Twitter.
Submitted by Along The Light of Day :)
this is so weird. my friend and i see this guy at mass all the time and refer to him as "humble catholic ryan gosling." she introduced me to your blog and i immediately thought she started it. alas, she did not. anyhow, this is exciting.
LOL! Too funny! Glad you’re enjoying the blog! Feel free to submit any ideas :)
Hello there! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your Tumblr. I'm sorry to hear that you've gotten some haters, but don't let them get you down! ;-)
Thank you! I get much more love than hate, but the hate is what sticks out. Thank you for taking the time to write this. It means a lot to me :)
God Bless,

I don't even like Ryan Gosling very much, but I just love this! hahah
Lol, thanks! I have to admit, if I ever meet Ryan, I’m gonna have a ridiculously difficult time differentiating between Catholic Ryan and real Ryan. XD
God Bless,
Katie
I am so in love with your blog!! So glad I stumbled upon it. Excuse me while I swoon...
Squee! Thank you! I love how much people love this!!!!! God Bless! Katie
This blog is fantastic! Haha, my mum and I just went through them all - you gotta post faster! :) Thanks for this little piece of awesomeness.
Ahh!! Thank you SO much! And I agree, lol. I keep a queue and it’s set for 5 posts a day, but I’d love to post more! Unfortunately, my creativity doesn’t allow me to :p
God Bless,
Katie
