Hi friends and welcome to the Arise, Beloved blog. We have an amazing team of writers behind this blog and our desire is to speak truth into the lies that cripple us and shine light into the darkness that isolates us because we believe that now, more than ever, the Church desperately needs women to be restored so that the world can be set ablaze. Our hope is that you find comfort, solace, and peace in knowing that you are not alone, you are not too far gone and there is ALWAYS hope to be found.

// Mary Kate Anthony // Asking for help and allowing someone else to solve the problem for me does not come naturally and easily for me. I am stubborn and independent and often believe the lie that I need to do it myself because otherwise it won’t be solved. Hence the title of Our Lady […]
