EMPTINESS

Posted on 05/02/202305/02/2023by HEATHER KING

“The hardest cross to bear in life is the thought that we are wasting our time, that we are useless, that the world is rushing along and we, apparently, have not yet found our feet.  For the missioner the monotony of merely marking time, of facing petty tasks, or even manufacturing small jobs to kill […]

KATHERINE BOO’S BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FOREVERS

Posted on 03/31/202303/31/2023by HEATHER KING

Boo is firmly enshrined in my personal communion of saints, a subset of which is “Writers Who Are Catholic Without Being Catholic.” Would that more of us wrote with her curiosity, excellence, intelligence, willingness to suffer, and heart.

MONSIGNOR LORENZO ALBACETE’S CRY OF THE HEART

Posted on 03/11/202303/11/2023by HEATHER KING

Posted on 03/08/202303/09/2023by HEATHER KING
