The Sunday Scaries—the creeping dread that arrives as the weekend slips away and the responsibilities of the new week inch closer—aren’t just cultural noise. They reflect something deeper: our desire to be in control of our lives, to meet expectations, and to stay ahead of what’s next. But into this anxious reality, the Gospel speaks a quiet and disruptive word of grace.

Maybe that’s the point. Maybe the story was never about the whale, but about a God who dares to ask us things we don’t yet know how to answer.

How might such silly exercises embed the deeply sacred value that everyone’s voice is needed and worthy in your community?

This is our past year in America, and now that we’ve reviewed it — can we finally consign the political past of 2024 to the dustbin of history?

The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene – July 22 –
Has long been on my calendar
Because
She has long been
A prophetic
Source of
Inspiration,
Wisdom,
Solace,
And yes Courage.

How am I able to live this way? Because I know God is my strength and song.

Why shift our thinking to heaven when there is so much work we can do in this life to promote inclusion and break down barriers? If we work to create a more accessible world, less people would feel like they need to be healed.

I am trying to say that the Lord is teaching me that SEEKING is BEING! You see, God is not calling us to DO more. We get it wrong all the time. We have enough to DO. SEEKING requires spending time, listening, heeding, and obeying.

Before I realized
The presence
Of the absence
Of women’s narratives,
Women’s stories,
Women’s voices

America’s thoroughly documented decline in religiosity appears to have hit a plateau. What does this mean for churches?

Agape—the radical, unconditional love taught by Jesus—is not merely an abstract virtue; it is a call to sacrifice the ego and accept reality as it is, so that we may love not only those who love us but also our enemies.

During Lent this year,
I had a hard time
Not rushing ahead
To Easter.
Perhaps,
It is because
Of the state of the world.

St. Thomas, who converted from doubt to belief when the resurrected Christ physically appeared to him, has undergone something of a conversion in the last two to three decades.
