Two things that I admire about the Duchess of Cambridge are her beautiful lace wedding dress and for having a third child.
The Power of Gratitude to Transform Suffering
I don’t love my suffering. Saints embraced theirs. They even asked for it. It won them halos, while here I am, avoiding pain whenever possible but still offering it all up, because, well, it is heavenly collateral after all. But I think I found an avenue suggested by saints and a priest that still leads…
Humor Over KLM’s Seatbelt Irony
“In an age of spiritual turbulence it’s important to remember that seat belts, like human beings, are created for a purpose.” That is my favorite quote of the week from Matt Archbold’s blog with the National Catholic Register, He took on the irony of the pro-gay pride ad from KLM Royal…

Is the New Testament Too Controversial for Christian Schools?

Kathy Griffin’s ISIS-styled photo holding a mock decapitated head of the President of the United States met with repulsion and outrage. When she was chastised from all sides, she apologized, but 3 days later took the offensive at a press conference claiming she’s the victim of bullying from the Trump family. Rather than leave the wound…
Some Notre Dame Graduates Flee Their Ceremony
Nothing says higher learning these days like plugging your ears and running away. This past weekend around 150 graduating seniors from the University of Notre Dame ran—well, walked at a serious clip—from their own graduation ceremony as commencement speaker Vice-President Mike Pence took the stage.
