A Spiritual Charcuterie

August 12, 2024August 9, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

Oh, charcuterie. A delicious platter covered with meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits, olives, and more. It’s the perfect appetizer to share with friends. And the beauty is that you can try bites of lots of different things. Who needs a plate with a single entrée when you can have a whole plate of bite-sized snacks? The […]

Why do you go to Mass?

May 6, 2024May 6, 2024 Articles, Catechesis

Why do you go to Mass? Maybe I’m the first person to ask you that question. Have you ever really thought about it? If you go to Mass every Sunday, every Holy Day of Obligation, and maybe even at other times during the week, why? Why is it a priority in your life? Why not […]

How Comparison is the Enemy of Gratitude

April 21, 2024April 22, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

How many times a day do you tell yourself that you aren’t good enough or don’t have enough? How many times a day do you thank God for the ways that you have been blessed? The quickest way to ingratitude is to compare yourself to others. When you spend more time looking at what others […]

Let St. Joseph Sleep On It

February 9, 2024February 9, 2024 Articles, Family and Kids

Years ago when I was a college student, our priest chaplain for campus ministry used to joke that he was going to pray a Saint Joseph prayer. It was his way of saying he wanted a nap. The foster father of Jesus doesn’t appear all that often in scripture. He is there during Mary’s miraculous […]

Why I Keep Bringing My Kids to Mass

January 23, 2024January 23, 2024 Articles, Family and Kids

I have three little kids, and they have a lot of energy. Not a single one of them is the kind of toddler or preschooler who is happy sitting quietly beside their parent for an hour or more while they attend Mass. (But really, do those kids even exist?!) That means that every Sunday morning […]

One of the most popular saints of this generation is a humble priest from Pietrelcina, Italy. Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, or Padre Pio, as he is often referred to, is a model of holiness and wisdom. He didn’t choose to do particularly extraordinary things but through his holiness and the miracles that occurred because of […]

Where Hope is Found

November 6, 2023October 27, 2023 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

The three theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity. In the opening prayers of the Rosary we pray three Hail Marys for an increase in these virtues. All three are vital to the Christian life, and in need of cultivation throughout our life. One of the virtues, hope, has a Christian definition that is often […]

Faith and Apple Bread

October 31, 2023October 27, 2023 Articles, Family and Kids

I was working in the kitchen this afternoon with my daughters, putting together an apple bread for breakfast tomorrow. The recipe required us to think ahead—setting out several ingredients beforehand to bring them to room temperature. We had to measure and mix lots of ingredients and carefully peel and chop some apples we had recently […]

At the Intersection of Grief and Joy

September 15, 2023September 5, 2023 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

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. Now I know how closely related they can be. When I lost my baby to miscarriage, I experienced suffering and grief […]

Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

August 17, 2023August 14, 2023 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

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 […]
