  • No Ordinary Smoke

    “That seemed awfully quick.” It was the first comment I saw on social media when the white smoke started billowing from the Vatican chimney. As far as I was concerned, it hadn’t been quick at all. It had been 17 long days of waiting. Seventeen days marked with uncertainty. Seventeen days as an orphan. It…

  • The Red Candle

    Going to adoration as the Easter Triduum begins on Holy Thursday is an experience like no other in the Church. It’s the night when Jesus institutes the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian life. It’s the night when Judas betrays Jesus for 30 silver coins, then hands Him over to the enemy…

  • Acknowledging the Golden Calf

    One of this week’s daily Mass readings was a familiar one found in Exodus 32. As the story unfolds, Moses is on the mountain chiseling out the 10 commandments, while the Israelites are down below, getting rather antsy. Whenever I heard this story in the past, I suspected these people were taking advantage of Moses’…

  • On Picking Patron Saints

    As we gathered for Mass on New Year’s Day, Fr. Shenoy Thomas spoke about the Blessed Virgin Mary and encouraged us to call on her more frequently as we walk into 2025. Just as Jesus gave her to John from the cross, he said, Jesus gave her to us. And she’s just as alive now…

  • The Manifestation of God

    “From the east came the Magi to Bethlehem to adore the Lord; and opening their treasures they offered precious gifts: gold for the great King, incense for the true God, and myrrh in symbol of his burial.” Today is the Feast of the Epiphany, or manifestation of Jesus. We did the annual blessing of our home…

  • A Season of Waiting

    Years ago, those few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas represented weeks of disordered pressure in my life. Many a day was spent agonizing over the perfect Christmas gifts for everyone on my shopping list, stressing over whether the garland would look perfect, or questioning if the tree was tall enough. But after converting to Catholicism…

  • Grace on Cross Mountain

      I stared at the steep and rocky landscape before me as my husband Dan and I stood at the bottom of Cross Mountain in Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It didn’t take long for me to size up the situation and announce my intentions. “I can’t do this.” Dan looked a little startled at first—maybe because there…

  • Sign of the Times

    Have you ever wondered what the shortest books of the Bible are? That’s precisely where I found myself this morning as I flipped over to the Letter of Jude in honor of his feast day today. (Side note: he shares this day with Simon the Zealot!) The sole chapter of the Letter of Jude contains…

  • Patrolling Earth

    A recent daily Mass reading told the story of Job, who though an innocent, God-fearing man was pursued by evil. After losing everything and everyone except his wife in a matter of moments, he continued to praise God. I remember in my younger days how unfair I thought his losses were. They’re still hard to…

  • The Crow of Many Roosters

    It was a giant rooster, no doubt about it, standing in all its glory on the grounds of Queen of Peace Catholic Church. Not something one typically comes upon every day. Yet there it was. about six feet in stature if I had to guess. I was so enthralled that I asked Dan to drive…
