YOU WHO ARE THIRSTY, COME TO THE WATER

Posted on 04/16/202204/16/2022by HEATHER KING

Every so often, I get a definite, very clear feeling that Jesus likes having me around. He likes going places with me. He likes the way we travel together.

LENTEN ALMSGIVING: A CATHOLIC TAKE ON MONEY

Posted on 04/09/202204/09/2022by HEATHER KING

The first rule is that it’s okay to save, say, for a house or a child’s college education. But money should be a placeholder. What is our money holding a place for?

TO CALL MYSELF BELOVED

Posted on 03/20/202203/20/2022by HEATHER KING

“And all I ask for housekeeping
I get and pay no fees,
Leeks from the garden, poultry, game,
Salmon and trout and bees.”

MANNA IN THE DESERT

Posted on 03/09/202203/09/2022by HEATHER KING

“True solitude is not the absence of people, but the presence of God. To place our lives before the face of God, to surrender to the movements of God, is to roam free in a space in which we have been given solitude”….

THE GENIUS OF JANE GOODALL

Posted on 02/25/202202/25/2022by HEATHER KING

“My family has very strong women,” Goodall observed as she looked back on her beginnings. “My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money…and because I was a girl.”

THE LIGHTED WINDOW

Posted on 02/11/202202/11/2022by HEATHER KING

Each walk, or memory, or lighted window calls to mind a poem, a painting, a piece of music, or all three. So as you’re reading, you’re also being introduced to new artists, or receiving a fresh take on those you might already know.

LET’S NOT DIE UNTIL WE DIE

Posted on 02/04/202202/05/2022by HEATHER KING

True activism, true resistance, consists precisely in an insistence upon life: a yes to life—for the benefit of every person on earth—that, like Mary’s yes, plunges us into the perilous but exhilarating unknown.

THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS: MY MOTHER

Posted on 01/24/202201/26/2022by HEATHER KING

She never, to my knowledge, submitted another piece. She continued to be faithful to her marriage vows, her private vows to God, to her children, her church, and to her conscience: crystal clear as I imagine it. Long-suffering but dry-eyed, keeping her own counsel, along with God alone knows what secret sorrows and silent suffering.

A DREAM COME TRUE: MIGRANTS AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Posted on 01/21/202201/21/2022by HEATHER KING

Since the dawn of human history, Father Alessandrini notes, humans have been on the move: driven by threats, curiosity, the search for food, and any number of other forces. Migration, he notes, could be “interpreted as a restless longing for a fulfilling final experience.”

RUN AFTER THE STAR

Posted on 01/02/202201/02/2022by HEATHER KING

The whole of the Advent and Christmas season is for me liminal time. The Divine Office, with Morning, Evening and sometimes Daytime Prayer; emerging from daily vigil Mass in the dark and walking home down the light-festooned streets…

A SHATTERING AWAKENING

Posted on 11/28/202111/28/2021by HEATHER KING

After the Angelus, whichever of the old ladies who had led would say another prayer that over time, I came to memorize. “Oh Jesus, through the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for the intentions of your Sacred Heart”….

ZAPOTEC MASTER WEAVER PORFIRIO GUTIÉRREZ

Posted on 11/19/202111/19/2021by HEATHER KING

“I do not work with natural dyes simply because I was born into the tradition, or because there is money to be made, or because it is a trend. I work with natural dyes because I discovered my gift and calling within our traditional practice and developed a profound connection with Mother Earth.”
