My name is Phil. I’m a Vis Companion, which is another way of saying that I am a purpose driven life wanna-be who knows he has a lot to learn before he’s fulfilled his potential.
As it happens, I believe the model of Salesian spirituality as displayed and taught by the sisters of the Visitation [...]]]></description>

I hurt my eye. After thirty years of wearing contacts, it got dry. It turned red. It really started to ache &#8212; so I went in to the eye doctor and she informed me that the surface looked like the equivalent of a &#8220;dry, cracked and bleeding hand.&#8221; She immediately instructed [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Mommy, why are you crying?&#8221;
I was sitting on the steps of my almost-three-year-old&#8217;s daycare provider&#8217;s house. I thought I had planned enough time for this transition in our day.

I keep seeing his feet. The calloused edges of Jesus&#8217; heels, the dark brown of his skin exposed through his sandals. I imagine the way the perfumed oil must soften the leathered texture of his soles, and my own heart cracks open in the process.  It is Mary, sister to Martha [...]]]></description>

We have a new pope. His name is Francisco, or Francis. The Argentinian Jesuit took his name after St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Francis Xavier, one of his founding Jesuit predecessors.  (And might I stretch his Francis&#8217; inspirations to include &#8211; *ahem* &#8211; our co-founder, St. Francis de Sales?)

This presence carries our charism, and therefore, conversion which we know as humility, seeking truth, before God and great gentleness, non-violence, in relation to [...]]]></description>
