TO BE EYELASH TO EYELASH
How can we align our values with our actions and move towards being eyelash to eyelash with the poor and marginalized?
EAT THE CHOCOLATE!
The traditions of fasting and abstaining are practices I avoid after living for too many years fasting and abstaining for the wrong reasons.
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES - BUT HOW?
On the other side of the enemy was someone who was longing to be seen, to be accepted, to be loved.
LEARNING TO TRUST THE LORD
Lord, help me to let go of anger and resentments, and to trust in your mercy.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES WITH MASS
The Catholic Church was never intended to be a rigid and exclusive club for the righteous and perfect, but an accommodating hospital for sinners like me.
BABBLING AWAY…
My Lenten prayer is that seeds of love, hope, and truth might take root in my heart and flourish in the world.
DO YOU SEE ME?
Jesus’s question “Do you see me?” is not one of judgment but one of accompaniment.
AN INVITATION TO HONEST CONVERSATION
Are you willing to have an honest conversation with God this Lent?
THE SLOW BUILD
This season reminds us of the slow work of building a relationship with myself, the people around me, the environment, others in the world, and God.
SACRED EMPTY SPACE
When we fast from things that hold space (especially things that aren’t life-giving), empty space is made. There’s something sacred about empty space.
UNFURL MY HEART
This season is not just about giving up something external and more about an interior conversion.
AN INVITATION TO JOURNEY HOME
We're invited to an inward journey towards God, of going to our inner room, our heart, where God invites us to let ourselves be seen fully as we are.
THE FIRST MOVE OF MERCY
I’m slowly coming to trust that our wounds—like Jesus’—are not removed but revealed to be part of a greater, divine wound of love and solidarity.
FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE RISEN CHRIST
In moments of desolation, I remind myself that Jesus is constantly there working on me – to fulfill his plans.
A NEW SEASON, A NEW CALLING
Perhaps now we are called to carry this life-giving love on for this new season, and a newer generation.
BEYOND GRIEF
Jesus, meet us on our way this Easter. Let your presence warm and console our hearts.
