5. Do you have a set daily prayer time?

6. From a Sunday homily:

Celibacy for the sake of Christ and the mission of the Church has always been a “sign of contradiction” to the world. Don’t think for a moment that ours is the first generation to fret about it or protest it.
Though difficult and demanding, the expectation and the witness to these expectations manifested by the men and women, who agree to remain celibate for Christ, can serve a clarifying purpose in terms of how we understand the Church- that Christ did not assemble a management team for a faith-based corporation, but called disciples and asked these disciples to give up everything that the world considered to be valuable or reasonable and in refusing these things, give their lives totally over to him.
Christ, who was from the beginning of his revelation a “sign of contradiction” to the world, in no way indicated that his followers would be “signs of affirmation” to the world- but they would confound it, just as he did.
St. Paul is saying that Christ’s expectation is not just idealism, and it may not be for everyone, but it is a very real, very urgent, and very necessary practice of the Church’s faith in Christ.

7. Leonie Martin as a sign — and intercessor — “that
no matter what kinds of trials and heartache plague a family, God can always bring great good out of it.”

(Bonus: A fun flashback with a friend on the Martin family.)

8. The Church as Noah’s Ark.

9. Today is the world day of consecrated life;
