Just 10 years ago I was sitting at my own shower, opening gifts for our son who was waiting for us in China.

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?

My sons and I have been staycationing this week, and I don’t know how we can ever fit this week into only 7 Quick Takes. Sit back, buckle up, and let’s go!

One of more profound memories from my priesthood involved a visit a few years ago with an elderly man in the hospital who was dying.

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

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.
