Tell Me Something Good
Fatherhood
At the heart of Christianity is the promise of the constant love and protection of a flawless Father to whom we all belong, no matter what our Dads did or did not do.
St. Louis-Marie
Teaching that consecration to the Blessed Mother is the most perfect way to live out one’s baptismal promises, St. Louis steadfastly believed that his form of consecration was nothing new, but was the long-standing tradition of coming to Christ through the hands of the Blessed Mother.
Butterfly
As I healed from my divorce, my Spiritual Director told me to see myself as a new butterfly, exiting my cocoon of suffering.
New Friend
The squealing response I express after learning that someone is also Catholic can be quite over exaggerated and embarrassing.
New Wine
At times, God has to pry the control from my hands, but I am learning that the more I let go, the more space He has to work and provide for me. Of course, His providence is always better than the plans I concoct for my own life.

Making New Again
God knows what he created with His hands. He sees the brokenness, the masks covering our shame and insecurities, our weakness, and yet He delights in us.
