Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.

The New Wine
In Saturdays’s Gospel, I was focused on the passage from Matthew about putting new wine into old wineskins. As several readers on here know, this Gospel was the inspiration for a National Catechetical Award called The New Wineskins Award, which it just so happens my friend won. We have harassed her ever since. So, usually…
Moral Documents
This is one of my favorite quotes from Stephen Colbert because it exposes the hypocrisy of the way we think as a self proclaimed “Christian” nation. I am also linking the clip from his show the other night with Fr. Tom Reese from Georgetown University that talks about the budget being a moral document. In…

Happy Father’s Day
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…

How beautiful and how absolutely true. Thank you for the poem and for the picture of the woods. The woods is one of my favourite places and I love to take my grandchildren walking in the woods as it seems that there they like to talk about God. Blessings and prayers.
