Summer is in full swing and it’s an incredible opportunity to explore and live out our faith in unique, inspiring and deep ways! Take a look at these suggestions and get planning! May the Lord pull you closer to His Most Sacred Heart this summer!

We celebrate on July 22nd, the Feast of Mary Magdalene.  We know little about Mary but there seem to be some generally accepted truths:

About a decade ago, I was a high school teacher in the city of Philadelphia.

One day I was walking my homeroom to hear a guest speaker, an author of a “YA” novel, give a talk.

You have a special mission –
a unique light that the Lord has asked you to share with the world . . .

As a Catholic Life Coach, it is my goal to take my clients from surviving to thriving and bring joy into their life.

A few weeks ago a P.R. company was asked to find influencers for an advanced screening of On a Wing and a Prayer – an Amazon Prime Original movie that is based on a true story – a MIRACLE that happened and the people involved believe it was the power of prayer that saved them.

In October of 2012, I found myself wondering if I was developing multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells from my bone marrow. On a routine physical exam and blood work we found a protein that was elevated, suggesting this cancer as a possibility. I had battled testicular cancer when I was in my mid-twenties with subsequent relapses in 1998 and 2000, so it was not fun to contemplate having another bout with cancer.

As Catholics, we celebrate virtue and integrity.  We know that we were created to love and serve God.  We also are not boring people.  We like to have fun, challenge our minds, engage in relaxation and recreation – but we firmly believe this can be done without corrupting our souls.

When you think about the goal of your book what comes to mind? What if your goal was more than for people to read it or use it?  What if your goal was for people to start a life-changing journey by the book’s ministry?

Traditional gifts are incredible and we do not to believe they should be thrown away!

Give that Bible, the Rosary, that prayer book and whatever family tradition you hold dear – these are truly beautiful gifts and treasures.

I think most of us would agree, babies and toddlers do NOT need a basket full of candy!

However, it is super exciting and fun for parents to put together an Easter basket for their children.  I remember doing this for our children and it really was such a delight!
