Candles, Prayers, and Healing: The Blessing of Throats Explained
Each year on February 3, the Feast of St. Blaise, Catholics come together for the beautiful and unique tradition of the Blessing of Throats. It’s a simple yet powerful reminder of God’s care for us — both body and soul. St. Blaise, a 4th-century bishop and martyr, is known for a pretty amazing story.

I had long intended to attend the March for Life but life's demands somehow seemed to get in the way. Thankfully I was able to participate this year.
