Talking Truth
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Friday, May 25, 2012 11:00 AM
Jennifer Fulwiler, who recently witnessed a horrific accident, writes at her NC Register blog about seeing a Catholic counselor to help her process her traumatic experience. She had doubts - would therapy be “misused as a replacement for prayer and trust in God”? - but explains in her piece how she overcame those doubts, and how seeing a counselor is helping her heal.
As someone who has greatly benefitted... READ MORE
The Burden of Infertility
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, May 25, 2012 9:00 AM
Many of us will never know the tremendous sadness of infertility. We go about our day and focus on how God uses our family size, our openness to life, to draw us closer to Him through trust in his love for us—even in the hard seasons of busy family life.
For some couples, there is a similar lesson in trust, through opposite circumstances entirely. And unless you know someone very personally struggling... READ MORE

Latest Catholic Digest
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:27 PM
My copy of the June/July Catholic Digest came in the mail this week and I’ve been working my way through the issue.
My thoughts thus far: the story on Eduardo Verastegui is very interesting, and I can’t wait to see his latest movie For Greater Glory. Are you planning on going?
Also, the Father’s Day gift guide is very helpful. I even sent along one idea to my sister-in-law for my brother. Four words:... READ MORE

Feed The Hungry
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 4:09 PM
Summertime is upon us and for me, that means five hungry boys will commence to eating us out of house and home. Every day.
It’s already started and I am amazed. One teenage son has recently started an afternoon workout regime that leaves him STAR-VEENG. As in, he was so hungry when he came home from school yesterday that he immediately ate one (or two!) boiled eggs, a frozen pizza, and some form of... READ MORE
Called By Name
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 1:00 PM
My archdiocese transferred the feast of the Ascension to this past Sunday.
There was a choice of Second Readings and in my parish we heard a passage from Ephesians four that concludes thus:
“he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to... READ MORE
Children's Book Book Club
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 12:00 PM
I love the idea of online book clubs, but in practice they’re hard. Typing up my thoughts about an entire novel takes too much time.
Still, talking about books is fun, and last week as I listened to my sister reading aloud to my children, I realized: children’s books are full of insights, but short enough that you can discuss them in a single post and comments.
An idea was born: how about Children’s... READ MORE
