Saint Catherine of Siena, Pray for Us!

Last updated on: July 23, 2022 at 12:14 am By Ben Hartford

Oh Uncreated Creator, Lord of Lords, my Father, I come to you broken-hearted and angry. Why have you allowed this to happen to your servants? Please turn your face to shine on us; let us feel your warmth; let us abide in you. We do not understand it. We do not like it. We do not want it. But please, Oh Lord, help us understand. Help us accept. Help us thrive. No evil can ever happen that you cannot use as rich fertilizer for our growth. Let us bloom. Let us spread your joy and love. And let our babies pray for us constantly, until we are reunited in your Beatific Vision. With Saint Cardinal Newman, Saint Catherine of Siena, and especially Our Lady of le Leche, we pray to you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Read more

Ever-Expanding Love

Last updated on: August 12, 2022 at 1:02 pm By Ben Hartford

Love exists, right? We know it does. We see it in a mother’s tender embrace, in a firefighter’s selfless plunge, and in the eyes of our spouse. True love continues to grow. The love I have for my older children is more robust and multifaceted than the love I have for my younger children, even though my love for the latter is more joyful and my love for the former more staid. And my spousal love today for She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed is deeper and wider than the day we wed. Read more
