Filed Under: Commentary, Lent, The Domestic Church

May Lent offer you the opportunity to experience Jesus’ love in a new way. And, as you walk your Lenten journey, know that this season can offer a time to grow closer to God without lentils – unless you personally happen to see them as a sign of Jesus’ love for you.

Gold pants

Filed Under: Commentary, The Domestic Church

As we begin a new year and turn the page on the calendar, we may be wondering what lies ahead. We aren’t likely to discover – or need – a pair of gold pants, but maybe we will need something unusual for the journey before us. Whatever that might be, we can trust that God will prepare us – or has already.

Each of us has times when we are that squirming, fussing child at Mass.

A fishy lesson

Whatever life is bringing you these days, no matter how difficult, I hope you will know and experience God’s presence in your life.

A new adventure

Spring offers a beautiful time for us to think of our next adventure, whatever that might be. May we be open to the newness of this season, stepping forward in faith and trusting that God is with us, every step of the way.

God always provides what we need. He gives us the strength and the creativity and even the companions to handle those surprise situations – and even at the most difficult times, he accompanies us.

She was one of the people who showed me how to live a faith-filled life – and how to do it with love, understanding and compassion.
