A Dog’s Journey
Grandparents Ethan (Dennis Quaid) and Hannah (Marg Helgenberger) live on a farm in Michigan. Their dog, Bailey (voice of Josh Gad), loves to play with Ethan and keep an eye on their granddaughter, CJ (played at different stages by Abby Ryder Fortson and Kathryn Prescott).
Anytime someone asks me what I do for a living, I tell them I’m a storyteller. Sure, I have a more formal title than that, but telling stories is what drives everything I do. I’m a firm believer that everyone has a unique and important story to tell. Those stories connect us and can teach us. Unfortunately, we sometimes become so insulated in our own lives that we fail to hear other people’s stories and the lessons they can teach us.
Although I have struggled with an eating disorder for most of my adult life, this has been less of a problem in recent years. I am, however, tormented by some things I did in order to support that disorder. I have tried to make amends, but I am never satisfied that I have done enough. I sometimes feel that I will go to hell because of these sins.
If God were answering your question definitely not the case here! I am quite certain that God would urge you to ease up on the sins you have already confessed and for which you have done penance.
If God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three persons in a single divine nature, why does Jesus say that Caiaphas will see Jesus seated at God the Father’s right hand (Mt 26:64)?
My husband of 31 years was baptized a Baptist but has not practiced that faith since he was a teenager. He has been going to church with me throughout our marriage. We have raised our three children as Catholics. Is there some way for him to become a Catholic without going through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)?
He should go through the RCIA because it will expand his knowledge of what the Church believes and why.
It will also help him see from a new perspective to what kind of service lived faith leads.
Ordinary things—house, community, work, and family—involve our efforts but all are ultimately gifts of God.
The invitation is to step consciously into that river of healing and to let it take us toward a kinder, gentler way of treating ourselves, each other, and our common home.
What do you do when you know what is right, but the rules forbid it?

LK 9:11B-17
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God,
and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached him and said,
“Dismiss the crowd
so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms
and find lodging and provisions;
for we are in a deserted place here.”
He said to them, “Give them some food yourselves.”

JN 16:12-15
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
he will guide you to all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
but he will speak what he hears,
and will declare to you the things that are coming.
