We often hear that God places people in our paths. I have had experiences where I come to see this is true. I believe it’s God in divine action for us.
I have been the recipient of that gift on many occasions, often after Mass. I have been approached by individuals who thank my family for being there. Read More

Every Sunday, we attend Mass as a family. My husband leads us into a pew and steps to the side as we each enter. As we leave the pew to receive Holy Communion as a family, once again he steps to the side and allows each of us to go before him. It is instinctual, natural and a pure moment where he communicates to us, by actions, his respect and love for us, putting us before himself. Read More

This Christmas break, my entire family got sick. I think all families can understand how trying the situation can be.
In my family, I tend to be hardest hit by illnesses. I was laid up in bed, and I felt useless. Thankfully, my husband was available to help with our kids, which was invaluable to me. Read More

The new year has begun! What do you look forward to in a new year? What does your family look forward to in a new year?
My children said “peace” and “turtles.” My youngest daughter is obsessed with turtles. Yet, turtles have been known to symbolize peace. Sounds good to me. May the new year bring a new hope of peace. Read More

As I passed through those first several years of infertility, glimpses of pregnancies and conversations about motherhood grew increasingly painful. As a 20-something year old, you tend to be surrounded by people growing their families and obsessing over the details. I was obsessing over surgeries, blood draws, ibuprofen and wondering about God’s will. Read More

Then, midway through the year, we look back and wonder why we could not stay committed to the goals that we set and had every intention of achieving. Read More

When you enter a church, do you check whether the sanctuary lamp is lit? Do you know what this is and what it signifies?
I have found that quite a few children as well as adults are unaware of this holy and awe-inspiring symbol. As with many traditions, over time, it can be easy to overlook or forget their significance. Read More
