Overcoming Emotional Jet Lag
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, February 06, 2012
Today, I’m sending out a huge thanks to the world’s best editor, Mrs. Danielle Bean, for her patience with my inability to post last week as scheduled while I was tromping around Israel. Despite my plans, technology and time conspired against me and I wasn’t able to share as much of the trip “live” as I had hoped. For those who want to know more about my adventures, I will be posting an ongoing series of recap articles over at CatholicMom.com.... READ MORE
Anything but Ordinary
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Thursday, January 26, 2012
Recently, I was chatting with a friend who told me that she was headed home to take down her Christmas tree. She hated doing it, she shared. I congratulated her on truly understanding and appreciating our liturgical calendar, chiding myself for the fact that my tree was down and put away shortly after New Years.
But the truth of the matter is this: the older I get, the more I find myself appreciating... READ MORE
Will You March?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, January 19, 2012
This morning for my segment on the Son Rise Morning Show, host Brian Patrick and I discussed social media coverage of next Monday’s upcoming March for Life in Washington D.C. The topic interests me greatly, since I’ve never been able to actually attend the March. In recent years, I have found that by following selected friends on Facebook and Twitter, I can get a sense of what it must be like in that... READ MORE
Sweet Victory
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, January 11, 2012
I appreciated Rebecca’s post about finding the bliss of the Christmas season. It always amazes me how I can so clearly remember the meltdowns and epic failures, but sometimes forget to note those moments of perfection, however brief they may be.
But her post did just that for me—it reminded me of one of the highlights of our Christmas celebration. It was actually during Advent, the feast of Our Lady... READ MORE

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
Remembering One Bishop, Welcoming Another
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, December 05, 2011
Today, I will pause my workday to attend 12:15 mass at our beautiful cathedral in remembrance of Bishop John T. Steinbock, who died one year ago today. During the past year, our diocese has mourned his loss, prayed for our new Bishop, and been ably and faithfully led by Msgr. Myron Cotta.
Last week, early Thursday morning, we received the happy news of the appointment of our new shepherd—- Bishop Armando X. Ochoa... READ MORE
Pope Benedict XVI on Children and Prayer
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, November 21, 2011
This weekend, received a link to Pope Benedict XVI’s wonderful address on prayer to the children of St. Rita’s Parish in Benin. While the entire address is magnificent and well worth reading, I thought I’d share a portion here that really inspired me:
Some of you have already made your First Holy Communion, and others are preparing for it. The day of my First Holy Communion was one of the most beautiful... READ MORE
When Parenting Isn't Fun
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, November 08, 2011
I’ll admit, the sight of Arwen’s adorable little chicken and egg this morning led me to a near occasion with the sin of envy. Those two precious little babies, those smiles, all of that promise for so many wonderful years filled with fun…
Of course, what didn’t flash into my mind when I saw the photo was twice the dirty diapers, twice the sleepless nights, and twice the stress of keeping little ones... READ MORE
Who Is Your Favorite Saint?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, November 01, 2011
This year, more than ever, All Saints Day feels to me like a major celebration. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been so immersed in the lives of the saints due to the launch of my new book, A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms - the virtual “book tour” I’ve been enjoying has me answering the question “Who is your favorite saint?” multiple times per day.
And the truth is, every time I’m asked the question... READ MORE
Please Pray for Jonah's Mom
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Monday, October 24, 2011
In today’s Coffee Talk discussion, a mom named Ashley shared a link to her heartbreaking story of the unexpected death of her infant son Jonah last week.
I know the faithful community of moms here will not fail to hold this family—and especially his mom Ashley—in prayer during this time of mourning. Jonah is in good hands, but his grieving family needs our love and support.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord.”
—Psalm 121
