By Michelle Macicek There have been a couple of situations recently that I have either been involved in or heard about that have reminded me of the power of our words. The words we speak can be a tool with great power to share the truth that God has given to us in sacred Scripture, […]

By Gina Sternfels Mass had just ended, and my son, Ivan, exclaimed, “This was the best church ever!” It is a true treasure for my son to have the ability to share that thought with me at the most perfect timing. I love when I hear my son say unique phases that he puts together […]

By Charlotte Phillips The other day after dropping my daughter off at ballet, my middle son and I made a quick trip to Target. As we were pulling into the parking garage, I noticed an elderly couple going to their car. The wife sat in her wheelchair as her husband lovingly pushed her chair. The […]
Standing on My Head

By Jenny Dendinger Every day before her afternoon nap, my daughter gleefully grabs her favorite book for me to read. It’s the cutest little story of a goose that is feeling sad and wanting a hug.

By Megan Lacourrege This September, I had the joy of standing in my cousin’s wedding. The whole evening was beautiful.

By Kristen Bourgeois The rosary was never my go-to prayer. Mostly because I have a hard time sitting still for the time it takes to complete the rosary. But, as I continued my faith journey, I began incorporating into my prayer life. I began saying the rosary while doing other things. Mostly while commuting from […]

By Stacy Lamorte The power of feeding ourselves Christian-based – especially Catholic-based – positive messages cannot be underestimated. Life has been downright difficult over the last 1 ½ years, and it can only benefit us to be constantly fed by fruitful, faith-based content. I am not saying to bury your head and not educate yourself […]

By Mary Bruno One of the hardest things about being infertile is being surrounded by women who achieve pregnancy so easily. When my struggle was at its worst, I became very bitter and had to create some distance so that I could begin to heal and learn to love myself just as I am. Time […]
