Marriage is not only a beautiful earthly reality but also a mystical sign and symbol of something greater than itself. David Torkington expands our understanding of this sacrament.
Sometimes we want a saint for a cause, an intention, a miracle. But maybe we just need one for the journey, Claire Dwyer shares.
Years of patient love and powerful prayers always pay off in the end.
Claire Dwyer suggests four ways for our souls to thrive in the busy seasons of life.
Rushing? Multi-tasking? Checking all the boxes? What would the saints say?
Buried under the most strong-willed child can be a beautiful vocation, as it was for St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. Claire Dwyer continues her series of reflections.
“Take your Crucifix,” counsels Elizabeth of the Trinity, “look, listen.” Claire Dwyer finds the starting-point of the saint’s story.
St. Rita was “small in stature but great in holiness, who lived in humility and is now known throughout the world for her heroic Christian life as a wife, mother, widow and nun.” – Pope St. John Paul II
Joseph Hollcraft found new meaning in the Little Way of St. Thérèse when his day took a series of unexpected turns.
If you are busy juggling family, friends, work, and prayer, trying to balance works of mercy with your daily duty, prayer time with household chores, and marriage with ministry, then let today’s saint be an inspiration, as she is for Claire Dwyer.
