A Day in the Life
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, March 13, 2010
Kudos to Fr. Nels Gjengdahl for creating this amazing video showing a “Day in the Life” of a Catholic priest. Tools like this one, showing a happy man who serves others but also visits with friends, loves hockey, and even plays video games are likely the most effective way to reach out to young men who may be called to future priestly vocations. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Nels Gjengdahl personally, but want him to know that I’m praying for him and his brother priests every day, as well as those who might be called to a vocation thanks to his creative outreach efforts. Nice work, and thanks to the CNS blog where I first discovered the video.

This week, I had the tremendous good fortune to take part in a “Clergy Communications Workshop” for the priests of my home diocese. Our goal as a presenting team was to provide tools for our priests, to equip them in their response to this year’s World Communications Day Message issued in January by our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.

We read that we ought to forgive our enemies; but we do not read that we ought to forgive our friends. Francis Bacon
The scene played itself out this morning as it does about four times per week. The younger brother, anxious to get out the door to school early so he could have time with his friends. The older brother—the chauffeur—nursing a bad case of “senioritis” and wanting to eek out every... READ MORE

Casual Fridays - Above and Beyond
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, March 05, 2010
I want to send a special hank you to Daniel, the twenty-something year old miracle worker who inspired this week’s installment of Casual Fridays. Honestly, sometimes one of the most difficult parts of blogging is coming up with good ideas. It’s always amazing to me how the Holy Spirit sends me people like Daniel when I’m feeling most “brain dead” and uninspired…coincidence? I think not.
Yesterday,... READ MORE
