SNL’s “Christmas Mass Spectacular”–Yes, I LOLed!

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Ok, lucky for me there is a penance service at Church tonight. Because I probably broke numerous commandments by laughing so very hard at this Saturday Night Live skit, shared with me by a fellow parishioner: How many of these jokes hold true at your parish? For the record, my Pastor is definitely NOT “Pastor Pat”! Video link Read more

Let Nothing Discourage You–Sweet Tweets for 12/12/14

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

This incredibly busy season of the year can feel daunting for all of us. So much to do, so little time! Personally, I feel the pressure of social engagements, gifts to be extended, and the general calendar-filling that accompanies December. To be sure, it is all wonderful stuff. But I feel so very busy. On the professional front, as we race to “beat the clock” to take a short Christmas reprieve from work, it crunches all that would normally be... Read more

Angelic Voices Herald Christmas in Harvard Square

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

I was there that night and saw it with my own eyes: the kindling of the spirit of Christmas and the joy when that spirit leaped into life! It may have started off like any other bustling Saturday night. College students enjoyed a night off from studies. Shoppers peeked though store windows while restaurant diners scurried to get in out of the cold. But suddenly, things paused as twenty-one dapper choristers paraded through the winding streets towards Harvard Square. Dressed... Read more

Jean Heimann: Seven Saints for Seven Virtues

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

In March of this year, I had the great blessing to spend a good amount of time with an advance copy of the beautiful book Seven Saints for Seven Virtues by Jean Heimann. Jean’s publisher had invited me to pen the book’s foreword. Honestly, for me this task of writing something to compliment an author’s work is always daunting. Such was the case with Jean’s book, because I’ve so long admired the work she’s done on her blog to keep... Read more

Thou Shalt Not Cyberbully

Last updated on: January 3, 2019 at 11:16 am By Lisa M. Hendey

On this morning’s episode of The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim and I looked at the topic of cyberbullying. The conversation was prompted by a Vatican press conference this week on the topic: Entitled “Stop threats on the internet,” the conference was organized by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the Bureau International Catholique de L’Enfance, a France-based international Catholic network of organisations engaged in the promotion and protection of children’s rights. The network is promoting... Read more

3 Easy Ways to Share Your Faith when Hosting “Holiday” Parties

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

My ears are still ringing this morning from the awesome party we threw at our house last night. I’ll be scraping red frosting off the floor and finding half filled plastic wine cups around the house for the next few weeks. But hosting close to a hundred of my husband’s work colleagues in our home is always a blessing. Especially since the annual “holiday” party for his department at the hospital is catered! As I was surveying the aftermath of... Read more

How I’ve Been “Renewed” by the Work of Father Robert Reed

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

I’m a huge fan of the work being done by Father Robert Reed, who is a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston and the president of the CatholicTV Network. Father Reed is wildly gifted at using the tools of the New Evangelization to win hearts and souls for Jesus and the Church. But more importantly, he is “the real deal”: a holy man, committed to his vocation as a Catholic priest. I’ve been blessed on multiple occasions to see firsthand the... Read more

Drawing Near to the Poor–Sweet Tweets for 12/05/14

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

What do you think of when you hear the word “poor”? I was praying about this when I read Pope Francis’ tweet from earlier this week. In it, he challenged me, “the Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.” I was praying about it when I read on Facebook about a pastor who had impersonated a homeless man, and when I read a clarification of that story on Snopes. I... Read more
