“I became a Catholic recently (2023), and honestly, one of the most compelling teachings that finally drew me in to full communion with the Church was the teachings on the sacrament of marriage. I had picked up the Catechism of the Catholic Church out of curiosity as to what the Church actually taught about contraceptives, and by the time I put it down, I was so convicted by the beauty and truth in these teachings that I immediately started searching for NFP methods.

I found the Marquette Method, and after implementing this method in my own marriage, I wanted to share it with all my friends! It was so simple to implement and so empowering!

I had gone through a BS in Physiology and a Masters in Public Health, and I never learned to chart my fertility. I’m honored now to be able to teach couples about how to track their fertility so they can love each other with their whole selves, respecting their God-given fertility as they plan and grow their families.” -Kate Yep, MPH

“The dreaded 6 week appointment, when you’re asked, “What would you like to use for birth control?” What follows is the panic of a postpartum mom under pressure. The well-researched eloquent response that you’ve been planning for months turns into an awkward jumble of “ums” and “wells” while the postpartum hormones surge, you sweat profusely and feel your face flushing. You sputter out something about NFP or not using birth control and hope the conversation changes...” —Lauren Vitale

Dear Lord Jesus, I have specific requests that may only partially fill the infinite needs and desires that are in my heart. I ask that You answer me not only for those requests but also for a greater reliance on You to satisfy the needs and desires that You have given me.

Please grant the prayers of all those who prayed this novena with me. Bless them with Your love and make them holy!

May I seek You with a sincere heart knowing that it will profit me nothing if I gain the whole world yet lose my soul.

So, help me to see Your good and gracious purpose in all my trials. Help me to see Your blessings in every day and help me to love You more.

Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus!

Amen.

“The greatest joy of having children....IS having grandchildren!☺️
The beauty of watching my own daughter celebrate life through the journey of motherhood has been nothing short of wondrous.
I (unexpectedly and anxiously) was able to witness her strength during labor and delivery when her little man was 10 days overdue.
She made it through the trials of breastfeeding for the first time, sleepless nights and adjustments to a family of 3 while preparing for her husband to go on deployment.
It fills with me hope to teach my daughter and son-in-law and other couples; hope that the next generations will see fertility as a gift and a sign of a woman’s health.” —Nicole Phillips, FNP

“I also am highly interested in cycle syncing (eating, exercising, managing work tasks based around what stage of the cycel I am at) and I LOVE sharing that information with people to achieve good hormonal and subsequently life balance!

I have had a few breastfeeding moms struggle with incredibly long first few PP cycles and, through cycle syncing advice, have helped them discover that they have estrogen dominance and that eating certain foods at certain times can help lower their excess estrogen, therefore making it so that they can ovulate at a more regular time and subsequently have less abstinence (and feel much better!)” —Kolbe Seff PT, DPT

Happy feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes! 💙

O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy,
health of the sick, refuge of sinners,
comforter of the afflicted,
you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;
look with mercy on me.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,
and already many sufferers have obtained
the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.
I come, therefore, with complete confidence
to implore your maternal intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.
(mention your petition)
Through gratitude for your favours,
I will endeavour to imitate your virtues,
that I may one day share your glory,
and bless you in eternity. Amen.

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Simple. This year was about keeping things simple. The busyness of daily life can be enough to make us yearn for simplicity, and this yearning was amplified in our family by job changes, chronic conditions flaring up, and terminal illness in our extended family requiring greater care. We coped by the grace of God, and with a few amazing trips to see mountains and moose (though sadly the moose never made an appearance). Between road trips and Rosaries, the Lord invited me over and over again: simply love.

With holidays coming up and travel increasing here are some tips about traveling while tracking your cycle:

You’ll need to pack your monitor if:
🩸Your period will start while you’re on vacation
🏔️You haven’t yet detected your peak day within the current cycle
🤱🏽You’re following the breastfeeding protocol before the first period
🕰️If you’re travelling across time zones, plan ahead when you set your testing window.*

Don’t put the monitor and supplies into checked baggage if you’re flying, it’s safer in your carry-on!

Monitor packing list:
☑️A waterproof container to hold your monitor and supplies
☑️More test sticks than you think you’ll need
☑️Back-up LH tests in case ovulation is delayed, or you can’t use the monitor
☑️A urine collection container, or enough disposable ones for your days away
☑️Your chart!

* You may need to save your first morning urine sample until the afternoon or evening, or wake up early to catch the testing window depending on how your local time is set. (if you give a call to the Clearblue hotline, they can help you calculate how to set your monitor for travel)

“Natural family planning is a beautiful gift to the Church and to the world. Nevertheless, it is frequently misunderstood, both by those inside and those outside the Church. My own story with natural family planning has not always felt beautiful, but each instance of suffering has always revealed the beauty of the gift.” -Lauren Vitale

“I was inspired to become a Marquette Method instructor when using the method myself. A couple years ago, my instructor at the time said she loved her position and encouraged me to get certified. I had been wanting to expand my skills as a nurse and do something more education based, so I decided to enroll in the teacher training program.

Reviewing Pope Paul VI’s Humane Vitae particularly called to me too; he calls for doctors and nurses to make knowledge of NFP an “essential part of their skill.” I believe working at Whole Mission as a Marquette Method instructor will help me answer that call.

I look forward to helping couples in their fertility journey and help them understand the beauty of natural family planning.” -Demitria Nelson, BSN, RN

“When I saw how birth control treated women’s fertility as a disease to be managed, learned about the enormous risks of all forms of birth control, as well as puts them in a position to be used as an object and not loved as a person, I was inspired to be able to offer to women an alternative that is effective, side-effect free, and also respects the dignity of the man and woman in God’s design for marriage and family life.

“When I saw how birth control treated women’s fertility as a disease to be managed, learned about the enormous risks of all forms of birth control, as well as puts them in a position to be used as an object and not loved as a person, I was inspired to be able to offer to women an alternative that is effective, side-effect free, and also respects the dignity of the man and woman in God’s design for marriage and family life.

I wish more people knew that you really can feel 100 % confident in NFP.” —Samantha Kopy, BSN, RN

“As a certified PA, I’d always loved learning about women’s health, but I was never introduced to the different methods of NFP in school and ended up doing most researching on my own. When I found out about the Marquette Method my science brain was SO excited!

I could have an objective way to teach clients/patients what was going on in their cycles and help couples actively achieve or avoid pregnancy and potentially diagnose other reproductive issues going on.

I love NFP and the MM because it’s a holistic approach that works WITH our bodies.” —Gianna Moulton, MSPAS, PA-C

This verse emphasizes the significant bond between the nursing mother and her baby. Scripture uses this analogy to show God’s everlasting love for us - how he will love and care for us no matter what! Breastfeeding is a unique and profound experience for mothers to experience a natural sign of the divine here during our earthly life.

Happy breastfeeding awareness week! Check the link in bio for a blogpost that features more scripture like this one.

The Archdiocese of Detroit hosted a date night to celebrate NFP earlier this week. They celebrated the theme of NFP week being “Love Beyond Measure.” Lauren Vitale spoke as a part of the celebration.

“The Catholic Church did not come up with the term natural family planning; it was a research term used by the scientists who developed it. It is really a specific term for the methods used to have a baby. We’re talking about a specific, scientific, researched-based term.”

“Marriage is a sacrament that is going to help you get to heaven. In your marriage, you will find all sorts of things that will help you grow in holiness, and one of those things can be NFP. You have the opportunity to grow in virtue as husband and wife — it may not seem like a benefit when living it, but just know you are going to see that benefit, and it will bear fruit.” —Lauren Vitale
