    “Wait, What?! The 12 Days of Christmas is a Catholic Catechism Tool?! (Special Podcast Highlight)

    So, be honest: have you actually memorized all the gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas yet? No judgment here, but most of us barely make it to “five gooooolden riiings!” before mumbling the rest. But did you know this song isn’t just about random birds and overly generous true loves? Nope. It might actually be a sneaky, genius way to teach the Catholic faith!    During those rough years of Catholic persecution in England (1558-1829), when catechizing openly could land you in serious trouble, this seemingly innocent carol may have been a covert way to help Catholic kiddos (and adults!) memorize key truths of the faith.    Timmerie explains what each verse really means:   Partridge in a Pear Tree = Jesus, who’s all about self-sacrificing love.   Two Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments, reminding us that God’s story is one big love letter.   Three French Hens = Faith, Hope, and Charity: those powerhouse theological virtues.   Four Calling Birds = The Four Gospels.   Five Golden Rings = The Torah (the first five books of the Bible, where it all begins).   Six Geese A-Laying = The six days of creation.   Seven Swans A-Swimming = The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. (Graceful and full of purpose!)   Eight Maids A-Milking = The Beatitudes. (Milking the blessings of the Sermon on the Mount.)   Nine Ladies Dancing = The fruits of the Holy Spirit, aka what happens when grace is working in your life.   Ten Lords A-Leaping = The Ten Commandments. (Obeying God’s law = spiritual leaps and bounds!)   Eleven Pipers Piping = The eleven faithful Apostles.   Twelve Drummers Drumming = The twelve articles of faith in the Apostles’ Creed. (Drumming that truth into your heart.)   Timmerie totally nailed it when she said this song invites us to go deeper into our faith while having a little fun along the way. So next time you hear it (which, let’s be honest, will be at least 20 times before Christmas), let it remind you of the richness of our Catholic faith.    P.S. Got this stuck in your head now? Same. You’re welcome.

    How Can Christ Help Us Combat Loneliness? (Special Podcast Highlight)

    If you’ve ever felt that soul-crushing loneliness or wondered how faith can combat the modern isolation crisis, this insight from Timmerie is for you.    Loneliness: A Rising Epidemic   Gallup says 1 in 5 adults feels lonely, and it’s getting worse every quarter. Those who don’t feel lonely often have something in common: faith, fulfilling work, and a strong sense of community. Gallup suggests volunteering, exercising, and fostering relationships, but Timmerie? She dives straight into the faith factor.   Why Relationships Are Literally in Our DNA   Timmerie reminds us that God created humans for relationship, not isolation. Like, think about it:   We start life literally attached to another human being (thank you, moms!).    Babies need physical touch to thrive: it’s not "needy"; it’s God-designed.   Even in Genesis, God looked at Adam and said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.”    The Incarnation: God’s Solution to Loneliness   Christ’s coming is the ultimate "I see you." God didn’t just send a postcard; He became man. Why? To touch, see, and be with us face-to-face. Mind-blowing thought: Jesus shows up today just as real, in the Eucharist. We taste, see, and touch Him in Holy Communion. That's divine intimacy.    The Pain of Loneliness   Timmerie gets real: Loneliness isn’t just about being physically alone. You can be surrounded by people and still feel empty.   Example? Her 3-year-old’s heartbreak when her cousin said, "You’re not my best friend anymore." (We all feel that sting, even if we’re older and more “mature.”)   Sometimes, loneliness is a void meant for God. Remember what St. Augustine said? “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”   What Can YOU Do?   Timmerie gives practical, faith-filled advice for escaping the loneliness trap:   Run to the Eucharist. It’s the ultimate antidote to being alone. Jesus is literally waiting for you.   Get involved in the world. Volunteer, attend events, shop in person, join a ministry. People can’t know you exist if you’re hiding at home!    Be the friend you wish you had. Relationships aren’t about perfection. People are messy, and that includes you.

    Real Talk About Homeopathic Medicine (Special Podcast Highlight)

    Okay, friends, let’s talk about this inspiring convo between Timmerie and Joette Calabrese on Trending with Timmerie. They shared how homeopathy has transformed their everyday health care: like, everything from sniffles to major postpartum recovery. Joette, with her 38+ years of experience, shared some practical and faith-inspired gems about using natural remedies. You're invited to learn more and decide if it's best for you. Let’s unpack it!    By the way, be sure to listen to the whole hour here!   Highlights from the Chat: Homeopathy for Everyday Life   Joette kicked things off by explaining how homeopathy helps her tackle daily stuff like anxiety, insomnia, colds, and even injuries.    Catholic Roots in Homeopathy   Did you know St. Mother Teresa used homeopathy in her work with the poor? Or that several Popes had homeopathic doctors?  From battling cholera in the 1800s to serving modern-day Pontiffs, homeopathy has deep ties to Catholic history.   Joette shared how this approach could fit naturally with Catholic families: homeschoolers, home-birthers, and DIY types who love autonomy.    Homeopathy might make a HUGE difference in caring for your family, whether you’re new to this or a seasoned pro. It’s about feeling empowered to handle your family’s health without always relying on pharmaceuticals.    You're invited to learn more from Joette at joetteslearningcenter.
