Kissing the Cross

By Kristen Bourgeois There is a lot to learn while parenting and not just about how to parent children. A lot of self-discovery happens while parenting and that self-discovery can lead to healing, if we let it. I recently discovered I have a woundedness about being heard.

By Phillip Garside All parents should support one another. Sometimes, we are tempted to say with the Pharisee, “O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity … or even like this tax collector.” This can be the case when we see people whose parenting style or priorities within the […]

By Kristy Solis Sometimes to get where we are meant to be, we need to go the hard way, we need to be overwhelmed, we need to do it alone or we need to walk a different path than we planned. Ultimately, God will bring us where we are meant to be. This is a […]

By Greg Zambrano Praying the Angelus, the church remembers Our Blessed Virgin Mary Mother, in a special way, in the month of May.

By Megan Lacourrege “I think I want to be an astronaut when I grow up,” my 6-year-old daughter once told me. She’s at that age where her imagination is soaring with ideas of what kind of job she may like to have as an adult. I love to hear her thoughts, which change every day. […]

By Sarah Mcdonald As we begin the month of May, attention in the secular world turns towards mothers in anticipation of Mother’s Day. In the Catholic Church we, of course, turn our attention to our Blessed Mother, Mary. As the Mother of God and our mother, it is truly fitting that the church dedicates this […]

By Ty Salvant One of our commandments, often referred to as the “greatest commandment,” is to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
