Every new year we come up with new things that we would like to change – and that is no surprise.  It is also not surprising that most of the goals that we would like to complete fail within the first two weeks.  There is a very simple reason for this: big life-changing goals are [...]

The new year is always a great time to make changes in your life. Whether it is changing your blog design (ahem…), praying a daily rosary, or learning a new skill – there is something about the new year that makes these changes seem reachable. Well, rather than dreaming about what you want [...]

What is better, working on a lot of recurring tasks throughout the day that keep you busy for hours on end, or finishing a small task that makes a huge difference? Sounds like a stupid question, but I submit to you that most people choose to do the former every day. We tend [...]

Do you remember how painful the registration for the last retreat you went on was?  What about when you were asked by your pastor to make sure that nobody tried to sneak into last year’s Church play?  Well, horrendously unorganized retreat registration, and cheapskate parishioners will soon become a thing of the past.  Thanks to [...]

With the pro-life battle raging in the U.S.  legislature, I thought that it be fitting to look at the life of the most popular pro-life saint (they are all pro-life, obviously) from the 20th century.  I venture to say that just about everyone who is Catholic and actually practices their faith knows who St. Gianna [...]

I was going to skip posting today because I was supposed to be finishing up a research paper for a class that I am taking.  But I enjoy doing this so much, that I feel as though I am almost letting everyone down when I miss a post.  This feeling is what I want to [...]
