14 — Oppressed by Greed?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

We are in New York City this week. When I awoke on Tuesday to the Pope’s tweet, I immediately thought of the glitz and glamour of the city. “The great threat in today’s world is the loneliness of hearts oppressed by greed,” our Holy Father warned. And then yesterday, he followed up with another doozy: “When one lives attached to money, pride or power, it is impossible to be truly happy.” I’d gone to bed humming showtunes and sated from...

FREE Wisdom from the Saints & Brandon Vogt

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

You’ve probably heard me say before that I’m a huge Brandon Vogt fan. Which is why I jumped at the chance to get a free copy of his new book The Saints’ Favorite Books: Read What They Read, Become Who They Are. The book is perfectly formatted for you to not only enjoy, but also use as a tool in the New Evangelization. Along with each chapter’s wisdom, Brandon makes it easy for us to tweet profound thoughts from the saints... Read more

How We Can Help with The Plight of Unaccompanied Child Refugees

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Today, I am pleased to share my recent email interview conversation with Christine Donnelly, Communications Manager, USCCB office of Migration and Refugee Services. I’ve asked Christine to bring us up to date on this humanitarian crisis, what the USCCB is currently doing, and how we — as Catholic families — might respond to the situation with prayer and concrete acts of mercy and love. LMH Q: Please offer a brief recap of the situation currently occurring along the border that involves unaccompanied... Read more

Sweet Tweets for 7/18/14 — Praying for Peace and Healing

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

From my hilltop “office” in the Catskills, it’s easy to feel far removed from the news. We don’t have a phone here and I’ve been trying to limit my elective media use as this experience is almost retreat-like in nature. But this past week’s events including the strife in the Middle East, the typhoon, the border issues and yesterday’s plane crash have found there way even up onto my mountain. I’m in prayer — as I know you are —... Read more

What Would Entice You into Your Local Catholic Bookstore?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

I am working on a presentation that will be given in a few weeks to a group of many folks interested in serving Catholics. Among them will be owners of religious bookstores. These men and women serve in a very special mission field. Often, they are on the front lines of the New Evangelization — answering questions, clarifying misconceptions, and simply being a listening ear for folks who have faith issues. I’ve met more than one person who was drawn... Read more

Families in the Philippines Need Continuing Support in Wake of Typhoon Rammasun

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Last night, when I drifted off to sleep, I did so with prayers on my lips for the families of the Philippines, who were then awaiting the impact of Typhoon Rammasun. Before going to bed, I had requested the following interview with Elizabeth Tromans, a Regional Technical Advisor for Emergency Preparedness and Response for Catholic Relief Services Living in Manila. Elizabeth was prompt to reply with the following remarks. I’m relieved this morning to read the news that the twelve million... Read more

Rwandan Bishop Kambanda Reflects on the Genocide in His Country

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Today, I conclude my 100 day series remembering the twentieth anniversary of Rwandan genocide. While I have not posted on each of the past 100 days, the people of Rwanda have been on my heart throughout this journey. Today, I am very happy to share a recent email interview I conducted with Bishop Antoine Kambanda of the Diocese of Kibungo. I am sharing Bishop Antoine’s remarks exactly as they were sent to me, so please be aware of the language issues... Read more

That title is a tease – it makes it sound as though I’m going to spend time sharing with you the amazing adventure that I’ve had over the past week literally driving 2,982 miles across country with my son Adam. For that, you’ll have to wait. I’m typing this as quickly as humanly possible so that I can depart my hotel and wander the streets of Montreal, our home for tonight. It probably goes without saying that this has been... Read more

Women and Children: Pastoral and Material Assistance to Mothers, Single and Married

Look at the blog post title above and you’ll see a weighty topic broached. Perhaps indeed too weighty for this blogger’s limited theological and sociological capacities. But when my editor Elizabeth Scalia invited all of the members of the Patheos Catholic Channel to be a part of a special Symposium to anticipate the Extraordinary Bishop’s Synod on the Family and the 2015 Celebration of the Family to be held in Philadelphia and threw out a list of potential topics, this was...
