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

We’ve all heard about the devastating tornadoes which ripped through Nebraska on June 16th. According to official reports, two were killed, scores were hospitalized and the storm left “total devastation” in Pilger, a village of about 380 people. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Omaha is providing a mechanism for all of us to reach out and show care for those who are facing such suffering in the wake of this tragedy: On June 16, 2014, Stanton County was devastated by tornadoes....

“Heart of Gold” by Fr. Pontifex & Yung PK Totally Rocks

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

Seriously… Released today by Spirit Juice Studios is the video for the great song “Heart of Gold” by Fr. Pontifex (a.k.a. Fr. Claude “Dusty” Burns) with Yung PK from the album The Symphony and The Static. Even if you think you don’t like rap, you simply MUST watch this video. In my mind, this is art. The video and song portray the drama that each of us face each day in our walk as Christians, set to music and filled... Read more

Distance Learning for Catholics: Training Ourselves for the New Evangelization

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:46 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

During today’s radio segment on The SonRise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim and I took on the topic of “nanodegrees” as described in yesterday’s New York Times: This week, AT&T and Udacity, the online education company founded by the Stanford professor and former Google engineering whiz Sebastian Thrun, announced something meant to be very small: the “NanoDegree.” At first blush, it doesn’t appear like much. For $200 a month, it is intended to teach anyone with a mastery of high... Read more

On Lap Swimming and Spiritual Perfection

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:46 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48 Perfect? Really, Lord? Me? Couldn’t I just be “kinda perfect” or “trying my best to be perfect”?! These were some of the thoughts ringing in my head this morning as I prayed my way through today’s gospel. As often as I’ve read Matthew 5:48, you’d think that I’d get over my spiritual whining and simply accept the fact that Jesus called his disciples — and us too —... Read more

Am I “Spiritually Corrupt”?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:46 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

I love praying each day’s daily gospel in conjunction with a few helpful spiritual resources. Lately, my favorites are our daily gospel reflections at CatholicMom.com and the quick video excerpts from Pope Francis’ homily from Rome Reports. Today’s relatively brief gospel passage (Matthew 5:38-42) left me feeling upbeat and positive upon first reading. “I’m doing pretty well at this,” I patted myself on the back. “I’m not someone who bears a lot of grudges and I always try to ‘go...
