Feel Like Crying?

Tim Dunn’s mom sent me an email with a link to this video. Here is what she told me about it:
“This is my son who works in campus ministry at Xavier University. He wrote this song for his twin brother’s wedding. It is a reflection of what happens when family relationships are valued and cultivated in our daily lives.”
I think you’ll agree he has reason to be proud of her big boys.

I had the joy and privilege last week of driving back to my former hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to enjoy two different weddings of children of two of my very best friends. One on Friday evening, the other on Saturday morning.
The groom on Friday and the bride on Saturday were part of the Catholic homeschooling community. Our kids played together. Grace was in my homeschool drama club. I helped... READ MORE
Do You Love This Royal Wedding Day?

Good morning, girls! It’s Royal Wedding Day! How many cups of coffee had you had? ![]()
As I write this I still wait with bated breath to see what the lovely Kate Middleton has chosen to wear. Did she play it safe? Or did she take any risks? Is it too much to hope that we might see some flashy stilettos peeking out from underneath that princess gown?
And did you cry? I’m sure I will/did. Not so much because... READ MORE
The Royal Wedding
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, April 28, 2011
I’m not setting my alarm for 5 a.m., but I’ll admit that I’m slightly intrigued by the early morning nuptials of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Oh maybe it’s all a big waste of time, but there’s something magical about it all too—all the pomp and circumstance and royalty. (Mostly, I can’t wait to see... READ MORE
Picture Perfect

This picture was on my homepage today, a featured photo from National Geographic.
What is it about this picture of a bride and groom in Malaysia that stops me in my tracks?
It’s lovely, for so many reasons.
An Update From Fr. John Bartunek

I want to thank the Faith and Family Live community for the generous comments made regarding my post on wedding receptions. Reflecting on those comments has made me reconsider my own reasoning; it is not so easy as I thought to navigate between kindness and scandal. Please know that I will keep praying, reflecting, and conversing about this issue, seeking to reach the same level of certainty that many of you have already attained.
I sincerely apologize for any confusion I may have caused, and I am doing penance for it. I hope the Faith and Family Live community will continue allowing me to strive to serve them, in spite of my obvious limitations.
L'Chaim!
