I don’t know if I have been able to write ten lines without being disturbed … I am not telling any lies when I say that I am writing practically nothing. (Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Story of a Soul) She had snuck out to the convent garden to write, hoping to make progress on Story of a Soul in her very small pocket of free time. But she had been constantly interrupted, as usual, and the process was painfully slow. I underlined her words and sat back. “I am writing practically nothing.” Oh Thérèse, I thought. I feel you.

Marriage | family life | love
It’s one thing to marry, it’s another to keep the love alive over decades. Longtime-married couples have much to teach other couples, married or not, but perhaps even more to teach people starting on their marriage journey.

This week, the Church gave us the opportunity to reflect on the lives of different holy men and women. We had the memorial of St. Vincent, Deacon and Martyr; we celebrated St. Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church; we celebrated the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle; and today is the Memorial of Sts. Timothy and Titus, close collaborators in mission with St. Paul the Apostle.

Celebrating family life | Love thy Neighbor
Family is the foundation of human society. Most of our daily activities revolve around this beautiful entity called ‘family.’ It is in fact, our identity. It is said, ‘there are five balls that we juggle in life: family, health, work, friends, and spiritual life. Among these five, only work is made of rubber, the rest all are made of glass - if we drop any of them, they could be fragile.’
