LOVE THAT COMES BEFORE WE UNDERSTAND
It is a helplessness that is not empty, but a threshold where God meets me, shouldering what I cannot carry alone.
EMBRACE THE UNEXPECTED
God of surprises, grant us the grace to see with eyes of curiosity rather than expectation.
MAKING A LIST, CHECKING IT TWICE
We make a list, say the prayers, and then sometimes find ourselves struggling to receive the blessing that God has gifted us.
OVERWHELMED BY CHOICE, REASSURED BY FAITH
His reassurance is the greatest gift and empowers me to continue choosing.
PERFECTLY LOVING THE LESS THAN PERFECT
It is not that they are unloveable, it is only that I have room to grow in loving them.
THE SANCTUARY OF BEING BROKEN
I thought my prayers had to be eloquent and neat. Thankfully, God shows me in simple ways that He doesn't require perfection.
SUFFERING: A TEACHER TO ALL
The coming of Jesus reminds us to wait patiently, love tirelessly, and to encounter each person with grace.
SPARKLING LIGHTS
If I am seeking Jesus, I should go and look where Jesus dwells. I will find Him with the poor, in the Eucharist, and in those around me.
RECOGNIZED BY GOD
What might you be invited to be attentive to, to be known by God, recognized by God, prepared for God?
EMBRACING THE DARKNESS
Mary invites us to embrace the darkness, trusting that God is still at work.
GRACE GIVEN, NOT EARNED
God’s grace is freely and lovingly given simply because I asked, and no matter how many times I ask.
WHEN THE YOKE BECAME EASY
Now I understand the promise wasn’t the removal of the burden. It was simply the sharing of it.
HOPE IN GOD-WITH-US
We wait for God-with-us to appear – perhaps not in the ways we might wish, but in ways beyond our imagining.
"BEHOLD, I AM THE HANDMAID OF THE LORD”
How does Mary’s example of obedience inspire me to greater union with the Will of God for my life?
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
God presents hope to us in a wild package of mystery – in headlines that seem too good to be true.
A FOUNDATION OF FAITH
We don’t need to be in the pressure cooker to rest in the inner peace that friendship with God brings.
