“When I was in college, I asked a friend how to grow in my prayer life. She replied, “Ask the saints to help you. When I was growing in my prayer life, St. Therese started stalking me.”
“Excuse me, what?!” I replied in confusion.“You just said St. Therese was stalking you! Are you crazy?!”
She didn't mean St. Therese physically stalked her-- although that would be incredible or creepy, depending on how you look at it. Rather, St. Therese just kept coming up in conversation and appearing in the most random places in quotes or images. But there was a reason for this-- St. Therese was helping her to grow in her intimacy with Jesus.” // Kaylee

The Father of Lies attempts to identify the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ with hate which brings death because, in reality, it is the exact opposite; it is intimately associated with Love that brings Life.

This past weekend my family and I went to Disney World. We live 2-3 hours away and are fortunate to go about twice a year. Every time we’ve gone for the last 2 years, we have tried to get fast passes for the Avatar Pandora ride, and every time we have failed. (For those who don’t know a fast pass lets you skip to the front of the line, everyone gets 3.)
The Role of Women in the Church is a publicly debated topic. The Catholic Church confirms that women cannot be Priests. What then is the role of women in the Church? Fr. Joseph Aytona writes about Spiritual Motherhood. In this blog I summarize and try to understand what spiritual motherhood consists of and what is the role of women in the Church and in the world.
