To me, it is like receiving the Christmas gift that keeps on giving. You know, that one big box that has another box and another box inside just waiting to be unwrapped. In summer 2020, I discovered the Traditional Latin Mass, and it has revealed to me a new depth and richness to the Catholic faith. While it was new, it also felt familiar. It instantly affirmed within me a sense of Catholic heritage, inheritance, and my place of belonging in God&#8217;s family.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wife + Mother<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I am\u00a0wife to Greg, who is the best husband I could have ever hoped for and who asked me to marry him on our first, official date.<\/p>\n<p>I am mom to six children, ages 20 to 12. Like many moms, I spend my days running errands, helping with homework, and cooking meals, but I am the first to admit that I don&#8217;t love to cook. Greg and I strive to weave our faith into our daily routines as well as our traditions and celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy reading, knitting, and going out to coffee with a good friend.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I share my thoughts and reflections here, as well as at<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blessedisshe.net\/?s=sarah+damm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blessed Is She<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/CatholicMom.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CatholicMom.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicvineyard.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WINE: Women in the New Evangelization<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am also honored to be a contributing writer to two daily devotionals, both published by Ave Maria Press:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1594716617\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1594716617&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=morthaeno03-20&amp;linkId=2a0ffb5984fa395d3380d04e56fcc84e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Catholic Mom&#8217;s Prayer Companion: A Book of Daily Reflections <\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1646800702\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1646800702&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=morthaeno03-20&amp;linkId=be9aded2e017bb7ab4727fde7fad24c6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Called By Name: 365 Daily Devotions for Catholic Women<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I send a monthly email out, which is filled with hope and encouragement &#8230; and some freebies!
