Liturgical and Seasonal Living in July

There’s something about July that feels both slow and vibrant all at once—long sunlit days, gardens heavy with fruit, and a rhythm that invites us to live a little more simply, a little more intentionally. In the heart of summer, the Church continues her quiet work in Ordinary Time, gently reminding us that even in the seeming stillness, grace is active, and growth is happening.


July is traditionally dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus—a devotion that might feel unfamiliar at first, but is deeply powerful when we begin to reflect on the mystery it holds. It calls us to consider the depth of Christ’s sacrifice, the love poured out for us, and the invitation to live in that love daily. It’s a month that asks us not just to rest, but to rest in Him.


This blog post will guide you through ways to embrace July with meaning. You’ll find ideas for fasting and feasting, traditional seasonal recipes, simple decor to reflect the sacred themes of the month, modest and meaningful outfit inspiration, and devotions that can anchor your daily life in prayer. Whether you're just beginning to explore liturgical living or have been on this journey for years, there is something here for every Catholic home seeking to live July fully, heart to heart with Christ.

The outfit and home decor slides were created with a lot of intentionality! Since July holds the dedication to the Most Precious Blood, but also the progression of Ordinary Time we went with red and green colors while also maintaining the His Girl Sunday vintage glam look. With touches of summer updos and gold for our King, you can express the beauty of the faith in feminine yet stunning ways.
