How do we thank a man who has brought such richness to our own spiritual experiences? A man who by changing himself ultimately changed the world? Well, to start we make a fun but pertinent video about him. Here is one called “The Olive”. My kids love it, but really so do I! Enjoy and…
That is the question of the day. I do, I have been privy to them…I have been part of them. I am grateful to have the imagination to see the amazement in peoples eyes when Jesus presents them with the loaves and fish. Today I will be thankful for the ability to be open to the…
In light of today’s events in Colorado http://www.nbcnews.com/, I am sharing a song posted by a Facebook friend. Sting’s “Fragile” really does sum up how I have felt all day. But I know that somewhere in the midst of all of this uncertainty and utter madness lies the string that holds us all together. Let…
I dedicate this to our very own Sr. Joan who we said goodbye to today. My daughter was in her class this year for seventh grade religion and learned so much and adored her. I am sorry to see her go. She ran the food pantry, the Vacation Bible School program and several other outreach…

This is the conversation we need to be having together. Do I think it is too big to fail? I think the faith…what we believe, the truth of our experience is too big to fail.Congratulations to my fb friend Roberta who took part in this discussion. If they are…

I admit, I was pretty anxious heading to New Orleans all alone. I told anyone who would listen how I didn’t like the idea of going to the Big Easy all by myself! One thought after another came, what if, what if, what if?? But I had to go since it was a training and…
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/the-last-word/47884211#47884211I may be bombarding you a little in the next couple of days. I am heading on a trip to prepare me for a new ministry (started another unrelated one this week too!) and am going to a training workshop (all alone!) to New Orleans! I am tentatively excited! But will really be happy when…
I am feeling a little dumb today. My 12 year old is taking her Latin final tomorrow (pray for her!) and has really struggled this final quarter after an otherwise very good year. She is a bit of a shambles. My 14 year old took her Spanish regents (a test in NY State that you…
St. Joseph is an emblem of earthly fatherhood. I am eternally grateful to have a husband with the heart of St. Joseph. Good day to revisit the video that best describes the value of that kind of paternal love. If you are a father, grandfather, godfather, father figure, uncle, loving brother or religious, please accept…
