About Liturgical Living Designer and Creator

Hi! My name is Ingrid Bernard, and I am a Catholic wife and homeschooling mother to 5 wonderful children who inspire me to be a holier person every day through my example for them. I am married to an amazing and faithful man. I am passionate about the Lord, my family, nature, reading, writing and art, especially painting! I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Art from Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi, Texas, and my other schooling includes Sigtunaskolan, Sweden, Costa Rica Rainforest Outward Bound School, The Cooper Institute, Dallas, Texas, Miami International University of Art and Design, Miami, Florida and the schooling the Lord gives me in daily life through my experiences to live more fully for the Lord.

Through Living Liturgically through the seasons and saints, we grow more connected to God, sometimes a difficult thing to achieve without all these wonderful traditions. In wanting to live my faith more fully and more woven into every part of our lives, I have found it a joy to come up with fresh new ways of Liturgical Living and its presentation. 

In my desire to find something simple, beautiful, fresh and to the point with more variety, I created Liturgical Living. I wanted something that was more applicable to life and liturgical living than just a coloring page. Liturgical living is more than that, it is a lifestyle. It gives our lives so much more emphasis and focus on God. There is more to celebrate and to look forward to by creating fun traditions year after year. It gives the things of life a God centered purpose to foster a love with God and through the Liturgical Year. The years have been fruitful in producing fresh new ideas.

I love to read spiritual books, and I read a lot! Years ago, I read “Discovering God Together, The guide to Raising Faithful Kids” by Dr. Gregory & Lisa Popcak. I read something that changed me forever that I had never really seen in writing before. I read that often we make living and practicing the faith ridged, and this turns kids…and anyone off. This made me rethink how to live the faith. Faith should be refreshing, joyful, loving, and capturing all those feelings of God our creator through purity, beauty, love, joy, peace and creativity. I realized that many of my feelings of living liturgically felt ridged at times, and I was so refreshed to get out of that and let my creativity and the talents God gave me to be given back to him and others to glorify Him. What a gift it has been for the family. I am so excited to share Liturgical Living with you, and so much more as I am always adding! God Bless.
