Through the Lens of Faith

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s the day we celebrate love. For Catholics, today we also embark on the Lenten journey. It is Ash Wednesday. It’s so important to make sure those we love know how we feel, not only on Valentine’s Day but always. Perhaps this year you can honor those you love by telling them…

What is on the horizon in your life for 2018?  Will a new job bring you a new level of financial stability? Will a graduation from higher education be in store? What do you think is on the horizon for your spiritual life? Can you take lessons you learned last year and apply them to…

We all need energy. Yours may have been depleted by hectic holiday schedules and preparing children for the next semester of school, all while getting back in the swing of things at work. Resetting our schedules can be tiring! Instead of thinking of those things in terms of energy drains, try to find the blessings…
