How Will I Choose Simplicity to Break Walls of Poverty?

Last updated on: June 3, 2015 at 7:21 am By Lisa M. Hendey

Pope Francis never ceases to make me think, to challenge me deeply. In today’s Wednesday audience, he continued his catechesis on family but pivoted to a matter which seems to be at the heart of his papacy: caring for the poor.

Vatican’s Msgr. Tighe on Proclaiming (or not) Catholicism in 2025

Last updated on: May 27, 2015 at 6:45 am By Lisa M. Hendey

A must-watch ten minute fascinating address by Msgr Paul Tighe, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, on how we will be “proclaiming the Word in 2025”: I love the focus on how we, as Church, will “be present” in an age of ever-evolving technology. Msgr. Tighe reminds us that, “We communicate to form relationships.” His emphasis on “sharing” our faith rather than “proclaiming” it–about drawing others closer to us in relationship and thereby helping lead them closer to Christ–is...

My husband and I are blessed to live in a lovely home, in a beautiful neighborhood, in a fabulous city. We are blessed. But the city we live in is in the state of California, where the water shortage has been well chronicled. We in the Golden State are in a serious drought. A serious one.

Three Video Views on the World Communications Day Message

Last updated on: May 19, 2015 at 8:42 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

This past weekend, I spent some time putting together a small video consideration of this year’s World Communications Day message, featuring our CatholicMom.com families: After I’d done this, I found this one from the Philippines! Great minds think alike… Theirs is FAR more indepth – I truly loved watching it! To see the content of the message and then hear families (living in the real world) reply to it truly shows the accessibility of this message. And not to be... Read more
