Sometimes we’re discouraged by our lack of faith. We think we’re doing something wrong or there is something wrong with us.

For us, as human beings, death is dark and scary and real. Even though we believe and trust in God, death can cause anxiety and anguish.

Many of us are nervous when it comes to going to confession. We worry about what to say, and whether we will say or do it right.

Don’t be alone in your spiritual emptiness. Join a Bible study or faith-sharing group in your parish in person or online.

God knows our flaws and loves us in spite of them. We are not irredeemable.

Interruptions can feel like roadblocks. But what if they’re divine detours?

These days, compassion seems to be in short supply. In truth, now is when we need it the most.

I don’t think you can get to a place of being open to God’s grace unless you feel that your lament has been heard.

As Catholics, we find our houses and our world haunted by a sense that the objects, events, and persons of daily life are revelations of grace.
