[wpvideo MUdNUzXR] As he did last year, Bono took to the busker’s box on Dublin’s Gratfton Street this Christmas Eve to sing a few tunes with his friend Glen Hansard (and Damien Rice et al.) Read more

GODSTUFF: 2010 Year in Quotes on Faith

Last updated on: December 26, 2010 at 11:29 am By Cathleen Falsani

Among the many highlights of 2010 was a thread of spiritual pondering that wove its way through the year’s events — both personal and global. As is my tradition in this space, here are a few of the most intriguing spiritual and insights I heard (and in some cases rediscovered) from the last 12 months. May 2011 be full of blessings and rich insights into faith and the divine. Happy New Year to all! “Be thou comforted, little dog. Thou... Read more

GODSTUFF: So, what’s your calling?

Last updated on: December 15, 2010 at 5:48 pm By Cathleen Falsani

While their paths to religious vocation are as varied as their personalities and personal histories, their spiritual orientation is the same. They crane their necks and cup their ears to discern their call -- whatever turns it may take. Each of the seven faces obstacles — cultural, institutional, familial and of their own hearts and minds — in heeding their calls. Time and again they confront questions and doubts, both external and internal. Read more

We are hard-wired to be innately creative beings, compelled to create because we are made in the image of the Creator. And we all create something, whether it is a work of art, a piece of jewelry, songs and stories, or families and relationships. Read more

GODSTUFF: There’s Something about Mary (and Great Expectations)

Last updated on: December 2, 2010 at 10:30 am By Cathleen Falsani

Scared child. Proud parent. Beloved icon. Soul sister. In her startlingly beautiful new book, Full of Grace: Encountering Mary in Faith, Art and Life, author Judith Dupre uses each of these phrases to describe the Virgin Mary. It is the last — “soul sister” — that sparked my imagination. The Mother of God as friend had never occurred to me. Not in the human sense, at least. Surely Mary is a spiritual companion and, in that sense, “friend,” but when... Read more

GODSTUFF: Giving thanks for abundance in a time of scarcity

Last updated on: November 24, 2010 at 5:58 pm By Cathleen Falsani

Calling it a “beloved American tradition” in his official proclamation this week, President Obama reminded us that Thanksgiving is an opportunity “to focus our thoughts on the grace that has been extended to our people and our country.” Thank you, Mr. President. I needed to hear that. Surely 2010 has been a year of great blessings and much grace, but as we head into the holidays, many of us, myself included, are feeling a bit lean (and not necessarily around... Read more

A little happy (of a different kind): Longing

Last updated on: November 24, 2010 at 8:35 am By Cathleen Falsani

[wpvideo KLRO9ABa] One of my most favorite instrumentals, here is Davy Spillane‘s “Equinox” from the gem of an album, “Bringing It All Back Home.” I awoke today with a grateful heart that felt like Spillane’s “Equinox” sounds. Longing for home and family and friends so far away. But so thankful that they’re still out there, even if they’re not physically by my side. Read more

Last updated on: November 18, 2010 at 10:50 am By Cathleen Falsani

Looking for a little old-time religion? There’s an app for that. Many of us use our smart phones for much more than making a traditional phone call. They have become tools for living (faithfully). I have dozens of spiritual applications loaded onto my own iPhone and have sampled hundreds more. If you’re looking for simple ways to foster your spiritual discipline — whatever it may be — there are applications to help you do so, for under $5 (and many... Read more
