The heartache of loss can last a long time and even get in the way of nurturing other relationships. God’s love for us and those we have lost is the healing light we need to see the way forward.

Happiness may feel good in the moment, but it inevitably fades and disappears. Joy, on the other hand, is something we can experience in the long-term.

With God’s help, we can become more patient and accepting of frustrating situations. The next time you feel your patience running out, envision the Stations of the Cross.

Christmas truly is a beautiful and holy day. Still, like all things in our spiritual life, it’s part of a continuum. Advent fades out as Christmas grows brighter.

In Luke 1:26–38, the angel Gabriel visits Mary. Before delivering the news that she would become pregnant, Gabriel prefaces the message by saying, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.”

Though you may not envision yourself as a prophet or evangelizer, you might not realize the ways you are actually spreading the gospel.
