Brief and contemporary inspiration focused on hope and family prayer will be delivered to your inbox! Articles include live video, written word, and links to resources that will lead you and your family deeper into faith.
Christ offers an easy way to sanctity, to loving God and each other. A spirituality a child understands. A spirituality St.Thérèse of Lisieux understood. Relax. Give up striving. Surrender to His love and the love of His mother, Mary, and let it saturate every cell of your body. Then simply let His love flow through you.

I don’t know about you, but I love those little “life hack” videos that pop up on my newsfeed. Things like putting hot-glue dots on your hangers to keep slippery clothes from falling off or 20 ways to organize junk, using random items around the house. Granted, some of them are pretty ridiculous but most of them come from folks who are way smarter and more creative than I am, so I find myself watching and saying, “Seriously, that is awesome, why didn’t I think of that!”
