Some Go To Sing & Shout
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, January 24, 2012
It may have been rainy and cold at the March for Life yesterday, but there was such warmth and fire in the crowd.
Part of that fire was stoked by Msgr. Charles Pope’s homily for the huge Youth Rally the Archdiocese of Washington put on prior to the March.
It’s worth listening to at the link: Msgr. Pope’s an engaging preacher, and his bare-bones text doesn’t convey the spirit of the thing at all.... READ MORE
The Bold & The Lame
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Tuesday, March 08, 2011
Simcha Fisher has a thoughtful post up at the Register today.
It’s about de-funding Planned Parenthood, but along the way she makes an important observation about how adolescents actually think.
I can still remember that a girl who looks very hard, very sophisticated and bold in sexy clothes and elaborately made up eyes is still just a little girl, no matter how dirty she acts or how cold or sassy... READ MORE
On Eclipse and Choosing Chastity
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Wednesday, July 07, 2010
I almost hesitate to open the can of worms that might be unleashed here if I mention the fact that I went yesterday to view the film Eclipse, the third installment in the Twilight series. But the truth is, the film left me pondering something that I can’t help but discuss with my friends here at Faith & Family Live.
Let me start by saying that I’m not recommending you go see this movie, or that you... READ MORE
How Far is Too Far?
Posted by Sara Fox Peterson in Marriage on Thursday, October 01, 2009
I wrote last time about the inseparable connection between the unitive and procreative aspects of sexual intercourse. When a couple needs to avoid pregnancy they must abstain from both aspects during potentially fertile times. But how may they express their love for each other during these times? How much physical intimacy, short of intercourse, is good for maintaining the unique bond between husband... READ MORE
A Free and Total Gift of Self
Posted by Sara Fox Peterson in Marriage on Thursday, October 01, 2009
Over the centuries the Church has had rather a lot to say about the meaning and purpose of marriage and sexuality. Pope John Paul II alone wrote over 2000 pages on the subject. In some ways it is an amost infinitely complex subject because marriage is, as St. Paul tells us, “a great mystery” (Eph 5:32), but the basic Catholic understanding of marriage and the marital act (sexual intercourse) is beautiful,...

Dear Hollywood

Kudos to the ladies of Growing Up Lane and Visualize Love for their incredible idea, “Project Chaste”. Sick of the lies today’s media moguls heap on teens and young adults, they have come together to send a message that many young people today are choosing chastity and have the strength to withstand attacks and misinformation. Please check out the video below and help me spread the word about Project Chaste. Way to go, girls!!
Mary, Our Model of Chastity

Once, I asked our priest how Catholics can get good marital advice from celibate men. Father’s response was that you don’t have to have an exact experience to help others with it. Sometimes the best advice comes from someone outside a situation. He reminded me that most priests are trained in counseling and that not all marriage counselors are married. And besides, all people, married or single,... READ MORE
Super Modest

She gained popularity as the White Power Ranger, but Jessica Rey wants to be known for something else—a woman committed to modesty and chastity.
Read this interesting acticle about how one actress is using her faith to encourage girls and young women to stand for what is right, and live a life of faith no matter where their career might take them.
In Defense Of Marrying Young—Updated
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Bristol Palin’s unwed pregnancy is not so unusual these days, but her solution—marriage—is. Mounting their hobby horse, the usual suspects have seized on her situation as evidence that abstinence education doesn’t work. Rather a leap of logic, that, since no matter what values her parents tried to instill, we don’t know what education she received at school.
Be that as it may, I want to ride that... READ MORE
