Despite debilitating depression, Jane de Chantal led a remarkable life.

“Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.” —Padre Pio

Perhaps no follower of Jesus ever appreciated Lent more than Francis of Assisi did.

When life brings pain, family memories can heal.

Illness and tragedy wounded them. Faith and family healed them.

A Lenten promise turns into a lifelong calling.

After years away from the Church, a prodigal daughter came home again.

Where we place our focus determines our attitude. When we start down a familiar mental rut (“Why do I get stuck with all the work around here?”), we can redirect that channel, finding something to appreciate.

Perhaps Lent is a good time for us to take a look in the mirror.

With the Stations of the Cross, we walk with Jesus in his final act of love and sacrifice.
