This Is Community
We received this letter in the mail recently; it’s the second such letter since the pandemic took hold and shelter in place began. The message this letter conveys is, “We’re in this situation together. There are people and organizations that want to help those in need; there are people Rut want to help you. Let’s …
Lists Inspired
We can find inspiration everywhere, really. Some people, like me, find power and energy in reminders, lists of things that specify what we think, strive for, believe. One list. The list above? Not even sure where I found it. Nonetheless, it’s a good collection of things to strive for; these things, well-practiced, might just make …
Hello, September
We interrupt the normally scheduled stream of consciousness for a little learning opportunity. This month begun, September. It used to be the seventh month of a ten-month year on the Roman calendar. The root word actually means “seven”. Back then the year began with March. And then 2,400 years ago, it got bumped forward to …

It means "For the greater glory of God." On this thirty-first day of July, designated by The Church as a feast day to celebrate Ignatius …
Ordinary Time
If you check out this blog periodically, you might notice Sundays of late, I’ve had some reference / little lesson or take I’ve picked up from a weekend Bible reading. This time around, I’m just thinking about Ordinary Time; I think the Church uses this term to reference the time between Easter and Christmas seasons. …
