Lou Holtz Rocks It at Franciscan U #Steubenville

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 9:54 am By Lisa M. Hendey

Congratulations to the graduating class of Franciscan University at Steubenville! For so many reasons, your future is bright and your gifts are greatly needed. I was thrilled to be able to be a fly on the wall for your recent commencement speech delivered by one of my favorites, Lou Holtz! I thought I’d share it with our readers here, just in case they need a little pep talk from one of the world’s greatest motivators: Now “Doctor” Holtz shared some... Read more

O Me of Little Faith…

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 9:57 am By Lisa M. Hendey

I’ve been intentionally quiet the last few days. Perhaps my lack of an immediate, definitive and public reaction in the wake of last Friday’s news marks my lack of qualification as a blogger. In fact, I’m honestly still not ready to write publicly on that topic. You’ll find many on the Catholic Channel here discussing it eloquently from a variety of perspectives. As always, I point you in the direction of my editor and mentor Elizabeth Scalia for the first... Read more

3 Ways Frequent Travelers Can Live the Year of Mercy with Airport Chaplains

Last updated on: June 24, 2015 at 10:49 am By Lisa M. Hendey

The human heart plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps. Proverbs 16:9 Can being a road warrior or a frequent flyer be a call to participate in the Year of Mercy in a unique way? Can all of those hours spent waiting in airport terminals–or dashing through them to catch a tight connection–really be a call to holiness? A special report at the Vatican website caught my eye today: Airports need extra care from chaplains offers a recap document of... Read more

Did I Hear a Future Bishop Preach This Weekend?

Last updated on: June 22, 2015 at 11:33 am By Lisa M. Hendey

This weekend was a moment of celebration for my home Diocese of Fresno as three of our seminarians were ordained to the diaconate on Saturday. Their ordination marks the commencement of one final year of preparation for the priesthood and is a joyful moment for the faithful here in the Central Valley. A Father’s Love Since one of these faith-filled young men is from my own parish, we had the double blessing of hearing Michael Andrade’s homily at our 9:30... Read more

#LaudatoSi: The Encyclical, The Movie?

Last updated on: June 19, 2015 at 3:55 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

This was launched over a week ago, but somehow with all of yesterday’s mania over Laudato Si, it’s funnier than ever: What do you think? Are we allowed to have a little fun with this. You can probably guess my favorite part: the Holy Father tweeting! Read more

Prayers for Precious Souls Lost in #CharlestonShooting

Last updated on: June 18, 2015 at 11:12 am By Lisa M. Hendey

I’ve been praying this morning about how to possibly write about last night’s horrific tragedy in Charleston at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. There is no possible way to succinctly describe the horror of an intruder infiltrating a prayer meeting and then taking the lives of nine souls, including that of Rev. Clementa Pinckney, Emanuel’s pastor. While praying this morning for the victims and their families, my mind fled to my own parish. How would I react if someone... Read more

#LaudatoSi and Me

Last updated on: June 18, 2015 at 7:26 am By Lisa M. Hendey

As I type this, I have the extreme pleasure of gazing over my own little corner of God’s creation. I’m home for a few weeks and soaking up the beauty of the Valley while I play “beat the clock” against a book deadline. I’ve found that it’s easy and pleasurable to take my laptop and sit on our backyard swing. From this vantage point, the hum of my neighbors air conditioning unit doing battle with the 100+ degree temperatures melds... Read more
