Posted on 05/13/202205/13/2022by HEATHER KING

LENTEN ALMSGIVING: A CATHOLIC TAKE ON MONEY

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

FORTY DAYS IN THE DESERT OF A NEW CHILD

Posted on 03/18/202203/18/2022by HEATHER KING

“The real bread is the sacrifice. Am I going to choose to help this child grow into who he or she is called to be? Am I open to growing into who I’m called to be because of them? That’s a hidden potency. The seeds are there. But the temptation is to take the shortcut, to give less than your full self.”

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”….

LENT

Posted on 02/28/202202/28/2022by HEATHER KING

The other thing is I’ve been working a lot. I’ve signed on to write a study guide on St. Thérèse of Lisieux so am once again knee-deep in The Little Flower, the Little Way, the Holocaust-Victim-of-Love concept, and so much more that dovetails nicely with the forty days in the desert into which we’re collectively heading.

UP WITH RITUAL!

Posted on 02/01/202202/01/2022by HEATHER KING
