The small group difference

One of my favorite lines of Jesus in the popular series “The Chosen” is when he looks at his puzzled disciples and says, “Get used to different.” He has dinner with sinners; asks a tax collector to follow him; and speaks with foreigners disdained by his disciples due to ancestral feuds.

Rising daily in discipleship

Perhaps every morning when you get up, you can hear Jesus say, “Follow me,” and you are ready to go about your lot in life as his disciple.

Children who keep Christ in Christmas

Christian families cherish the young intensely in this festive season — and for good reason.

Pruning and prepping for the ‘new year’

Upkeep seems endless sometimes with a home and a yard. Yet I’m grateful to be able to take care of them. This time of year, the rakes, blower, hedge-trimmer and pruning shears are active before the cold and snow really sets in.

Celebrating saints and pondering all souls

With November’s arrival comes All Saints’ Day — a holy day of obligation — to celebrate the saints in heaven we want to be with, to eventually join those holy men and women who teach us by their example how to live and act according to God’s will.

Every step of the way with Mary

The most holy rosary takes me on a journey through the Gospel story where the Blessed Mother’s example of holiness is always challenging me to step it up — bringing me closer to Jesus.

To lead well, follow Jesus

On any given day I am following or leading something. It probably goes that way for most people if they are active in the secular and/or religious realm. At work or at play — our daily routines on the job, large or small group gatherings, multi-media outlets, extracurricular activities and so forth all give us the opportunity to lead or follow either something or someone.

Rallying for truth begins at home

Being astute in Catholic leadership is vital for parents nowadays. The need also presents significant challenges when it comes to perusing, discerning and choosing what is intellectually healthy and of redeeming value for children.
