What if the first day of the year isn’t meant for resolutions, but for rejoicing? In today’s reflection, I share what I discovered about the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God—and how this often-misunderstood Catholic feast gently centers us on Jesus, his nearness, and our own quiet yes to God.
A racing heart. A worried mind. And a dog who knows just when to curl up close. This reflection shares how God uses the gift of pets to bring comfort, calm, and a gentle reminder of his unfailing love.
As the new year begins, I’m realizing that my faith journey wasn’t about starting over—but about going deeper. Nothing was wasted. Not the questions. Not the longing. Not the road behind me. This reflection is about continuing forward with God, trusting that every step has mattered.
What if the question “Are Catholics Christian?” is the wrong place to begin? In this reflection, I share how that honest question once lived in my own heart—and how Scripture and the Catechism gently led me past labels and into something deeper.
