This week on the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above) Arwen, Rebecca and I take on two wonderful topics.  In our fist segment, we look at the topic of vocations, and the “Call within a call” that Arwen recently wrote about.  The start of every school year is a renewed time to reexamine the work we are doing, to rededicate ourselves to family and work, and to...

A New Mother Flounders

Ask a Priest vol. 25

Q: I am a new mom and, as much as I looked forward to motherhood, I must admit that I am floundering. I feel tired all the time, I hate my new body, and even though I love my new son, I find him very hard to appreciate most of the time—especially when he keeps me up all hours of the night.

I find myself resenting my husband (who honestly is very helpful and supportive) because he works a job outside... READ MORE 


Mamas Moving With Mary

and a giveaway too!

Do you ever think it’s too hard for a mom to find regular time for fitness and prayer? Well, here’s an inspiring story of some moms who made fitness and prayer a priority—with great results!

Mamas Movin’ With Mary started when three Catholic moms decided to get together regularly with the goal of training for a half-marathon.

It can be easy to lose ourselves in the shuffle.

As much as you are planning your son’s soccer schedule, as much as you are planning your daughter’s violin lessons, as much as you are planning an entire school year full of learning and activity... READ MORE 


"Call Within a Call"

On listening and following

Today is the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth, and the day is being widely celebrated.

On the radio this afternoon, I caught a snippet of Al Kresta’s segment on the topic. His guest talked about how Mother Teresa had been living happily as a nun until she felt the call to serve the poorest of the poor. It was Teresa’s “call within a call,” she said.

Since then I’ve been thinking about that... READ MORE 


On Forgiveness

What hurts keep you from loving fully as Jesus did?

Today, our parish and school staffs came together for our annual retreat prior to the beginning of the next school year.  With events in my personal and professional lives on my heart, I really savored this time to pray and talk with my fellow staff members, who feel really more like family than co-workers.

Our speaker today was Paula Huston, the author of multiple books including her most recent... READ MORE 


The Challenge of Prayer

as we wait for answers

My friend Fr. Tim sent this along to me this morning. I think it’s very powerful for people wondering when God is going to answer their prayers.

I Will Move The Rock
Once upon a time…there was a man who was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light and the Savior appeared. The Lord told the man He had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.... READ MORE
