Do you thrive during these long, hot days, or are you longing for cold weather and thick, snuggly socks? Either way, summer is a perfect time to hit the spiritual reset button, allowing yourself to rest, relax, and savor the ordinary moments of life.

In today’s world, mental and emotional struggles seem more prevalent than ever. Bishop Barron  once shared that, ​”God created human beings in his image and likeness to be life-giving, happy, and whole.” The importance of discovering inner peace and freedom in Christ can be found in the Gospels, and affirmed by our Church.

Well, May holds a special significance—it’s dedicated to none other than the Blessed Mother, Mary.  It’s that time of the year when I feel called to dive into the Scriptures, particularly Luke 1 and 2, to reflect on Mary’s pivotal role in the life of Christ. We read about how she was not only the Mother of Jesus but the Queen Mother, Full of Grace and served and loved those around her. She united her will perfectly with H ..read more

  As Valentine’s Day coincides with Ash Wednesday this year, some may lament the clash between a day of celebration and a day of fasting and abstinence in the Catholic Church. However, I see it as a poignant convergence. When we draw nearer to Christ, especially through intentional effort, our relationships with others should naturally flourish. Consider the profound friendships Jesus fostered with his disciples, Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and countless others. He listened, spoke truth with love, and cared deeply. For me, Ash Wednesday serves as a launchpad for spiritual growth, while Valenti ..read more
