Better than

We wouldn’t ask that of. . .
This spoke to my heart this morning. That kind of goes along with part of this.

Pondering at its finest
Drinking the Cup After firmly holding the cups of our lives and lifting them up as signs of hope for others, we have to drink them. Drinking our cups means fully appropriating and interiorizing what each of us has acknowledged as our life, with all its unique sorrows and joys. How do we drink our … Continue reading Pondering at its finest
Motherhood/Nurturing
NOTE: The excerpt from "On the Dignity and Vocation of Women" is long - the most important bit (to me) has been highlighted (bold/italics). Please feel free to skip down to that, then read my personal comments. In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, … Continue reading Motherhood/Nurturing
