Intentional Catholic Living with Katie Warner
By Mercedes Shirts
Children’s book author and speaker Katie Warner passionately embraces intentional Catholic living, using Instagram as a platform to share tips, resources and strategies for embracing purposeful spirituality. Inspired by her husband’s desire to embrace his role as the spiritual leader of their family, Katie wrote her first book, Head & Heart: Becoming Spiritual Leaders for Your Family and has since been curating tools and resources for Catholics. “I've continued to love the process of uncovering great books and tools for Catholic families…that help bring the faith to life at home and draw families deeper into the life of Christ and His Church,” she shares.
Katie’s Instagram account, full of resources for Catholic families to deepen their faith, beautifully portrays intentional Catholic living. “It has always been very important to me that my social media presence not be about myself,” she says. “I truly try to keep my focus on sharing the faith and connecting people with books and resources that I truly believe will bless families and help them in their vocations to love and to become saints.” From sharing books she has authored to offering tips for praying with young children and recommendations for liturgical living supplies, prayer journals, and planners Katie’s page is an invaluable resource for any Catholic family.
Katie’s desire to live a focused, intentional Catholic life is an invitation to all Catholics to truly pursue holiness and sainthood. “We must remember to hang on tightly to God's grace in this vocation. He's really the one doing the heavy lifting. So much of growing in holiness and living a vibrant Catholic life at home is letting go...emptying yourself of pride and expectation and letting the Holy Spirit live and move and breathe in you and in your family,” Katie reflects.
