I wanted to share a final thought for Advent 2010 from the heart of our beloved Pope John Paul II, as this season of waiting draws to a close …
“The liturgy of Advent … helps us to understand fully the value and meaning of the mystery of Christmas. It is not just about commemorating the historical event, which occurred some 2,000 years ago in a little village of Judea. Instead, it is necessary to... READ MORE

How are you doing these days?
Are you making the most of these final days of Advent, finding pockets of prayer in your days, and finishing up last-minute preparations for the upcoming feast all while maintaining an abiding sense of peace and joy?
Or are you falling somewhat short of that ideal?
These can be challenging days for a mom, but here’s a reminder for you today:
Breathe in.
Breathe out.

The Most Real Thing Ever

Our week following Gaudete Sunday — a week celebrating joy. Yet many people I love are suffering, trying to see through to the other side of their pain and experience even a glimpse of the joy that is intended to mark this third week of Advent. This quote in Magnificat this week has stayed with me:
“We are not asked to put our faith in words alone, but in all the signs that Jesus worked and works... READ MORE

Winter Wonderland
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Just me on Thursday, December 16, 2010
In many parts of the U.S., snow has fallen already this winter season. From flurries to blizzards, the white stuff has made its presence known.

I know, I know, this is the same person who, just a month ago, blogged... READ MORE
