By Stacy LaMorte My best friend has breast cancer. I have had a really difficult time wrapping my head around all of this and even typing those words causes me to bristle. She has already had surgery to explore the area, remove the cancer and reconstruct her body. Now, she is on the chemo part.

By Stacy LaMorte As I was walking into school on yet another rainy morning this week, I was following behind a preschooler and her mother. They were both decked out in their rain boots and ponchos, and mom was carrying an umbrella. She was holding her daughter’s hand with her free hand as they made […]

By Stacy LaMorte Life can be overwhelming sometimes, especially for parents. Being the parents of three teens now, my husband and I regularly question which phase of our life was more difficult – being the parents of three toddlers or three teenagers.

By Stacy LaMorte During this season of Lent, we are reminded that Christ spent 40 days in the desert being tempted by Satan. When my sister and I were moving out to California, we stepped out of the car to take a picture in the Mojave Desert, and it took our breath away. It was […]

By Stacy LaMorte It is believed that our Blessed Mother Mary delivered our Savior without the pains of labor. Isaiah 66:7 says, “Before she comes to labor, she gives birth.

By Stacy LaMorte Like many people in the Greater New Orleans area, our power was out during Hurricane Zeta for several days; easily the longest power outage we have ever experienced as a family other than Katrina.

By Stacy LaMorte Our Holy Father has asked us in the month of September to responsibly use our resources that God has given us. He is not only asking us to pray for this change, but to model it as well. It is hard to know the right things to focus on: composting, rain barrels […]

By Stacy LaMorte Storytelling is one of the oldest pastimes and ways to teach. Jesus himself understood the importance of parables to get his lessons across in a way that listeners would be able to relate, remember and retell his word.
