If you’re like me, you probably considered it, but you also might have questioned: Why prayer? How and why can prayer really help a situation? First, let’s remember that it’s okay—actually, it’s good—to ask questions. We are invited... Read more

Maybe you’ve visited the incredible Swiss Alps, Hawaiian Islands, the African safari, the Bolivian rainforest, the Florida Keys, the Jersey Shore (you guessed it, I’m from Jersey!), or the Bahamas.

Last year, my 2nd grader came home from school singing “Mercy is falling is falling is falling. Mercy is falling like a sweet spring rain.” “Oh, I love that song!

That includes art, science, mathematics, nature, architecture, music, dance, travel, the human person, and much more. Have... Read more
