Posted on January 4, 2023 Leave a Comment
By Stacy LaMorte The Lord is always calling on us to be present with him, asking us to recognize his dwelling in each one of us and in others. When we make time to be fully present with our spouses, children, family members and friends, we are actually making time to be present with him. […]

By Stacy LaMorte Do you know the best gift you can give your kids that spans every age group, gender and budget? The gift of failure. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I do not claim to […]

By Stacy LaMorte Jesus was so insightful and knew his flock so well. He knew that we learn better from stories than from mere transmission of facts.

By Stacy LaMorte Have you ever attended a Catholic Mass in another language? If not, I highly recommend it! My family and I did yesterday – on accident. Our daughter wanted to say goodbye to a priest who was the pastor at her school, as he had been transferred. We had the option to say […]

By Stacy LaMorte It is important for our children to know that we don’t know it all, that we don’t have all the answers. Having three teenagers is a humbling experience.
