Like our four-legged friends, we are devoted followers of God, our beloved owner.

For those who love somebody struggling with mental illness, our job is to be fully present and listen without prejudice. 

The mother figure most central to the Catholic tradition is Mary. But we do her a great disservice by pretending that her life was idyllic.

With this Mother's Day, I have an opportunity to simply say, “Thank you.” And, perhaps not so simply, “I’m sorry.”

If you think about it, one word might summarize how you could describe motherly love. That word would be “nurturer.”

Whether we recite the Hail Mary by itself or repeatedly in the rosary, it reminds us of the respect we show the woman chosen by God to give birth to his son.

The world is in need of positivity and grace. As a mother, let it begin with me.

We are imperfect children of a perfect God, who loves us in spite of our sins.

Dreaded chores or cherished hobbies have a centering power that can bring us closer to God.
