Listen to Robyn Lee!
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Tuesday, January 31, 2012
I was thrilled when I heard that my good friend, colleague, and Faith & Family blogger, the rockin’ Robyn Lee was a recent guest on the awesome Pat Gohn’s awesomely amazing podcast, Among Women.
Did that sentence sound enthusiastic enough? Because I really do love these two women and I really got a lot out of their conversation as well.
Since the Faith & Family podcast is on a bit of a hiatus while Lisa Hendey is busy globe-trotting, I thought I should highlight this little gem for our podcast-hungry readers.
Take some time to enjoy this thoughtful conversation (also on iTunes—episode 122). I was so impressed with what these two women shared about encountering Christ in everyday living. I promise you will come away blessed for having listened!
New Evangelizers

One of the happiest circumstances of my life was the day I decided to take a road trip to Southern California to attend the “Podcast Expo”. I made the decision on a whim after hearing two of my favorite podcast hosts, Greg and Jennifer Willits (then of The Rosary Army, now of The Catholics Next Door), speaking about the event on their podcast. I swallowed the fear I felt inside and took the road trip... READ MORE
The Restless Heart of God
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Friday, January 06, 2012
You must read the Holy Father’s homily for Epiphany this year.
The whole thing is quotable, but I’ll whet your whistle with this:
The restless heart of which we spoke earlier, echoing Saint Augustine, is the heart that is ultimately satisfied with nothing less than God, and in this way becomes a loving heart. Our heart is restless for God and remains so, even if every effort is made today, by means of most effective anaesthetizing methods, to deliver people from this unrest. But not only are we restless for God: God’s heart is restless for us. God is waiting for us. He is looking for us. He knows no rest either, until he finds us. God’s heart is restless, and that is why he set out on the path towards us – to Bethlehem, to Calvary, from Jerusalem to Galilee and on to the very ends of the earth.
Peace Out

Yesterday, I was in my typical Sunday morning frenzy. Rushing to get ready for Mass, a list a mile long rattled around in my head. So much to do, and so little time…
Off we went to 9:30 Mass, Greg and I. Every other Sunday, we attend Mass both at 9:30 and at 6:00, since Greg plays music in the morning, and Greg and Adam play at the nighttime Mass. For the past several weeks, one of my Sunday morning... READ MORE
Doing Christmas
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Thursday, December 15, 2011
Today I followed a link someone had described as the year’s “Most Judgemental and Condescending Holiday Post,” expecting something horrifying, and instead got this post at a Jewish parenting site called Kveller: “Actually, You Can’t Celebrate Hanukkah AND Christmas.”
I found it neither judgemental nor condescending. As someone who’s always interested in reading perspectives from people of other religions,... READ MORE
Facing Last Judgment
Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Thursday, December 01, 2011
In my confirmation class, I like to tell the kids stories to help them remember the truths they are learning.
When we learn about the Eucharist I tell them the story of St. Tarcisius and ask why would this young man die for Jesus if he was just carrying a piece of bread?
When we talk about God the Father, I do a dramatic telling of the prodigal son to portray how much God loves each of us.
This... READ MORE
Thankful For: Encouragement
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, November 22, 2011
“And so I tell you, whoever is reading this and needs to hear it. Don’t quit. Retreat, yes. Surrender, never.”
We’re in a season when my husband and I refer to Sunday Mass as “the most exhausting hour of the week,” and this article, “Mass with a Difficult Child,” was exactly what I needed to read. It’s by blogger and mother-of-six (and, I believe, F&F reader and commenter) Michelle Reitemeyer, and it’s lovely.
“The goal is to have antic-free children. We call them mature adults.”
I laughed, I nodded, I felt consoled after reading. I hope you will too.
Our Path to Sainthood
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, November 03, 2011
This week on the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Rachel, Elizabeth and I have a wonderful conversation about my brand new book, A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms. We have a great conversation about the main points of my book, but also about our own personal call to sainthood. We look at how we moms are called to sanctity and some of the struggles we face...

The Real Waste of Time
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Tuesday, October 18, 2011
I got to confession last weekend for a sorely-needed first time in a long time. It ended up turning into a mini-spiritual-direction session with the compassionate-but-fair priest. (I felt sorry for the people behind me in line.)
More than a week later, I’m still thinking about one of the insights he gave me. It hadn’t occurred to me before. And I thought I’d share it with you in case you haven’t either.... READ MORE
Post CNMC Blues Inspire Action
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, October 03, 2011
I’m home after four days of travel to this year’s wonderful Catholic New Media Conference and firmly ensconced behind the computer in my home office, trying to sort through and onslaught of email, but more importantly an onslaught of emotions.
After having attended four years of CNMCs, I recognize the symptoms. Sleep deprivation, a slightly weepy feeling that comes from missing my good friends, a... READ MORE
