Hi, and welcome to The Saintly Brine! I’m Brittney Henderson. My reason for starting this site is to help unearth what took me years to discover. It wasn’t until 2018 that I stumbled across the lives of the saints. I noticed these people declared under such titles as Blesseds and Saints in the Catholic Church, that had something I didn’t quite know how to explain.
Up until this point, I was a baptized Catholic who didn’t know much about the very faith I was baptized in. All I knew was that these holy people had exactly what I wanted all my life and had been seeking in all the wrong places. My curiosity in their stories ignited a desire in me to figure out what the church calls what it was I saw in them and what the teachings of the church actually are. What I’ve discovered since then has changed the course of my life.
My hope is that I can bring the same things I’ve learned to you because I can’t be the only one this could help. The Saintly Brine will lean heavily on these truths and mysticisms of the Catholic Church’s teachings and traditions. The Saintly Brine aims to do this through the lens of the holy people who understood these two things well. Join me as we grow together in understanding of the church and union with God here and now, because these findings are not for the elite few. Union with God is for all of us.
