How Much Should You Share in Confession?
We are usually taught that when we confess mortal sins in confession, we should confess them in “number and kind”, meaning that we should say what the sins are and how many times we committed them.

Learning to Figure Out Our Feelings
Emotions are a very large part of our lives, whether we’re always cognizant of it or not. At times we may be very aware of the way we feel, when we’re meditating, praying, or going for a walk. When we can let the rest of our life take a backseat, we may find it easier... Continue reading→
At the Intersection of Grief and Joy
Grief and joy. Complete opposites, right? You might think that one can’t exist at the same time as the other. I used to think so until I had some real experience with the two.

5 Ways to Find Happiness in Your Faith
When we talk about the “spiritual life”, “social life”, or “family life”, it’s just another way of saying the “spiritual component of life”, or the “familial component of life”.

Forgive as God Has Forgiven You
“Luke 23:33-34 recounts, ‘When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left.

Take Up and Read
As the mother of six children, I sometimes feel like the house is my cloister, minus the peaceful quiet and harmonious chanting. In the midst of being called on by so many voices, I find myself at times longing for the contemplative or maybe just 30 minutes to pray before I am needed. I always... Continue reading→
Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Perhaps you know that August is traditionally set aside as the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. But do you know why? Admittedly, I was curious about the reasoning. We know that May is the Month of Mary. And the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is typically celebrated in June. So why... Continue reading→
The Secret to Happiness
What’s the secret to happiness? This seems to be the million-dollar question, although most of us don’t have one million dollars to try and buy it or figure it out. Nonetheless, it is a question our society seems to have tried to solve and find the answer to in so many different ways. There are... Continue reading→
