The fish-stick dilemma

March 4, 2021
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Lent, The Domestic Church

As we focus on growing closer to Jesus, may we carve out time and opportunities to walk with him in joy. If that happens to include fish sticks for dinner, let me know what time I should be there.
