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
Happy Moms & Working Moms

On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Rebecca, Sarah and I chat about the joys and challenges of motherhood. In our first segment we take up Rebecca’s recent “Happy Mothers” post about moms, our perfectionism, and our happiness. Is motherhood your highest calling?

The Passion on Good Friday
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Every Good Friday after the liturgy, my dad watches Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ. Some of my family members always watch it with him.
I am never one of them. I saw the movie in the theater during Holy Week the year it came out, and I’m glad I did, but I haven’t watched it since then.
There are a couple reasons for this. First of all, I’m a very visual person and I have a near-photographic... READ MORE
Saint Stories From Fr. Groeschel

He was in Washington, giving a lecture on the stages of the spiritual life to students and friends of the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, where he is an adjunct professor.

Post-Retreat Reflections
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Monday, October 20, 2008
Because of various circumstances, the last time I attended my parish’s women’s retreat was 2004.
At that point it had been a little over a year since Bryan and I’d been trying to conceive and we were starting to figure out that God might be heading us somewhere other than “a baby as soon as possible.” That particular journey would take me through the hardest moments of my life so far, and some of...

Getting Away
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Friday, October 17, 2008
This weekend I’m going to my parish’s annual women’s retreat.
I’m a little apprehensive because it’s my first night away from Camilla, ever. I’m excited, though, because it’ll be my first lengthy stretch of alone time since Camilla was born. I’m also excited because our parish’s retreat was wonderful the last time I went, and I’m expecting the weekend to be very spiritually rewarding.
I’ve written before... READ MORE
