At the very beginning of the beautiful month of May I received an invitation I couldn&#8217;t refuse. A friend invited personal reflections on Mary, the Mother of Jesus, during this traditional month of celebration, reflection and special devotion to her.
Being raised in another faith tradition didn&#8217;t stop me from celebrating the [...]]]></description>

I have worked in vocation work for nearly a decade. I have heard many definitions of what vocation means, a holy calling, answering a holy longing, &#8220;where our great gladness meets the world&#8217;s greatest needs,&#8221; that one call leads to another and to another. While all this holds true, I stumbled upon a [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s May, friends! A month during the liturgical year when Catholics devote time to our Blessed Mother. I&#8217;m pausing today to think about the various ways I do this, and considering ways that I might grow in my prayer and devotion to Mary. Perhaps some of this will resonate with you?

I came across this passage in the book I am reading. I think it is applicable to discernment, and going through some of the uncomfortableness of it. Elizabeth Lesser says, &#8220;I knew what Albert Einstein meant when he said that the most appropriate response to life is &#8216;Sacred Awe.&#8217;&#8221; With this [...]]]></description>

But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them;
