My favorite gift to buy is that for a stranger

This Christmas season, as your family and mine add unnecessary “stuff” to the pile collecting in our closets, dressers, and cabinets, let us remember there are good and hardworking families in our community who are not as blessed to afford new things.

Not just a dog

God created these very special animals especially for us, to emulate him. He knew exactly what he was doing when he made dogs.

Mary and me

I am the biggest advocate for my kids. She is Jesus’ biggest advocate.

A prayer for Pietro

Filed Under: Commentary, Snippets of Faith

How is it people and young adults grow up Catholic, experience all there is taught to us about the Trinity through religion classes, nuns and priests’ instruction, get baptized, make first holy Communion, confess young sins in first reconciliation, invite a sponsor to touch our shoulder during Confirmation, take vows in matrimony … and then don’t have faith in God any longer?

Take your children to church (but don’t feed them in the pew)

September 12, 2019

Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

I think parents need to be cautious as to the message they’re creating with distractions of milk and Cheerios as they attempt to teach their children about God.

Why can’t I memorize the Nicene Creed?

September 6, 2019

Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

It’s been since 2011 the Roman Catholic Church has updated the verbiage to the Nicene Creed and still I have failed to memorize it.

Where’s our darn food!!??

August 8, 2019
By Suzanna Molino Singleton
Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

We are Americans living in the top nation – a country to which immigrants have been flocking for several centuries, a country with too much, a country which wastes an unfathomable 50% of its food, cluelessly ruins much of its resources, and packages products using excessive amounts of plastic, styrofoam and cardboard.

Sorry for your loss (yawn)

July 1, 2019
By Suzanna Molino Singleton
Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

To me, the most mundane, unoriginal and programmed words uttered to someone who has lost someone else through death is, “Sorry for your loss.” Really? Is this the best we can think of?

Where did I go wrong with my children’s faith?

June 20, 2019
By Suzanna Molino Singleton
Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

I am no longer in control of my children’s faith. I was then; it’s impossible now. I can pray about it – and I do. I ask God to pull them back into His arms. Touch them with His grace and mercy. Help them to see it’s the only way to joy.

Beautiful Holy Week processions in Italy inspire faith

It was completely rewarding to watch these hundreds of parishioners so devoted to their town parishes as they reenacted Jesus’ crucifixion.

Faith is faith in English or Italian

April 16, 2019
By Suzanna Molino Singleton
Filed Under: Blog, Snippets of Faith

Faith is faith in any language. We don’t need to understand the words to feel it in our hearts.

Inviting in the Angels

Why not ask angels to help you every day?
