Seeking Spiritual Direction
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Thursday, March 01, 2012 11:30 AM
I received an email from a Catholic mom who is feeling confused, frustrated and uncertain about her existing relationship with a Spiritual Director. This mom specifically sought out a formal Spiritual Direction relationship to aid her with working towards a more regular practice of personal and familial prayers. She realizes that there are several great books on this topic, but truly felt she could... READ MORE

“How much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.”
If you really stop and think about it, it’s pretty laughable that we try to handle so much on our own. Think about a family member, a friend, a roommate whom you are concerned about for one reason or another – whether it be their study habits, their morals and values, a relationship they might be in,...

What Did You Do To Help The Bishop?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 10:30 AM
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse was in town earlier this month.
I had the privilege of attending her warm and touching presentation defending marriage against its re-definition.
The goal of the evening, she told us at the outset, was for each of us to walk out confident.
Confident that marriage is worth defending.
Confident that the rational arguments are on our side.
And confident that we can defend... READ MORE
A Contrite Heart

A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
“…when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.”
Wow! Did the people of Nineveh repent! Not only did they fast and put on sackcloth but they had their animals do the same! I always visualize the cows of Nineveh draped in sackcloth. What a wholehearted... READ MORE

Walk With Me
Posted by DariaSockey in Family on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 7:00 AM
It’s hard to imagine a church that does not have carvings, paintings, or plaques depicting the fourteen stations of the cross. But prior to the 17th century, stations were not a widespread piece of church decor. Starting in the late Middle Ages, the Franciscan order developed this devotion as a way of symbolically recreating the prayerful walks along the via crucis that pilgrims to Jerusalem made....

I’m still trying to find the “Brothers in Black” who are the creative geniuses behind this video—but this one is too awesome not to share. I’m gong for a high score this Lent—how about you?
The Edges of Our Seats
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 10:45 AM
“Have you ever walked out on a movie? Which ones, and why?”
That fun question popped up in my twitter feed this morning.
Fun, because it brought back a host of amusing memories.
When I was in high school, seems like every movie our family ever went to had us on the edges of our seats—and not in a good way.
We used to tell my poor elderly grandmother, who came with us on all family outings, “Wear your... READ MORE
He Comforts the Brokenhearted

Today’s readings remind us of the ever present comfort our Lord provides us during difficult times. Psalm 34 says, “When the just cry out, the LORD hears them, and from all their distress he rescues them.The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.”
How comforting are these words! Most of us have had our spirits crushed. We have known... READ MORE
