About us

Seeing Jesus

“Sometimes in our lives, tears are the lenses we need to see Jesus.” -Pope Francis on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene Read more
Summoning Your Saint Posse

When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings, he gave us a vibrant metaphor for the Christian life. In many ways, we are all Frodo. We are all on a mission, called to take up our cross and wage war against evil and darkness. We’ve each been given a… Read more
Just Enough

“Jesus gives me, at every moment, what I am able to bear and nothing more, and if in the next moment He increases my suffering, He also increases my strength.” -St. Thérèse of Lisieux Read more
Getting Off the Merry-Go-Round

I love this time of year. As cliche as it is, there’s something about January that invites us to revel in possibility. There is so much potential and limitless opportunity.

The Thing About Gifts

You don’t need to put a gift in a box and wrap it in fancy paper for it to be a gift. It’s still a thoughtful and generous gesture of love or appreciation. But the wrappings add mystery, magic, and a key ingredient that makes it truly special: anticipation. Anticipation is… Read more
An Invitation to Be Quiet

A prayer for my Sweet 16 daughter, Lucy, who celebrates her birthday on the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 💙 Take heart, dear one. The world you were born into is loud, unkind, and crude. It will cast judgments on you and cancel you quickly. You are right to be afraid.… Read more
