Blog postA beloved theology professor of mine in college used to start each class with a simple prayer, repeating, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). One line spoken slowly, one word dropped each time until there was only “be.”
Years later, a favorite writing teacher did the same during a week-long workshop. Let us pause each day to breathe into the spaces between the words.
I took their wisdom to heart, prayed these lines with children and adults. Always searching -
Blog postCrusts & Crumbs is a new reflection for Sunday evenings: thoughts on today’s Scripture from parenting’s perspective. If you’re hungry to connect faith and family, let’s chew here together.
“The Lord, your God, is in your midst” (Zep 3:17).
Do we remember this, when we’re together at table or party? Do we call the truth to mind, as we’re racing through airport or freeway? Wherever two or three are gathered, there is God in our midst. Even a family of two – a married co -
Blog postAdvent is a season of strange stories and wonder-full waiting. Angels. Dreams. Miraculous pregnancies. Surprising visitors. But in a season of powerful Scripture and symbols – light, darkness, watching, waiting – we can forget that the first Advent was embodied, too. Without pregnancy and birth – messy, physical experiences – Christmas could not have happened. What […]

Blog postCrusts & Crumbs is a new reflection for Sunday evenings: thoughts on today’s Scripture from parenting’s perspective. If you’re hungry to connect faith and family, let’s chew here together.
“The anxieties of daily life.” Is there anything more ordinary? Preaching on perplexing signs and terrible fears that will signal the end of times, Jesus speaks words of caution: “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life” (L -
Blog postCrusts & Crumbs is a new reflection for Sunday evenings: thoughts on today’s Scripture from parenting’s perspective. If you’re hungry to connect faith and family, let’s chew here together.
Crusts & Crumbs “For this I was born,” Jesus says (John 18:37). We think his birth attracts attention, coming at the end of Christmas countdown and Advent anticipation. But how much do we meditate on who God was before and after birth?
This week we whiplash from Christ the King -
Blog postCrusts & Crumbs is a new reflection for Sunday evenings: thoughts on today’s Scripture from parenting’s perspective. If you’re hungry to connect faith and family, let’s chew here together.
Crusts & Crumbs A time unsurpassed in darkness. Why on earth would anyone choose to have a child? Parents ask this question (and friends inquire and strangers probe) over and over. Why now? Why another? Why at all, in these days of disaster and despair?
Yet Love still takes -

We’re thrilled that Grieving Together is making its way into the hands of parents who need it after infertility, stillbirth, miscarriage, or the loss of a child.

Blog postWhat’s leftover after the bread has been eaten? Crusts and crumbs.
If your kids’ plates or lunch boxes look anything like ours, there’s always something left behind.
One doesn’t like crusts. (Another doesn’t like bread.) The oldest always picks apart the sandwich, leaving a pile of crumbs. The littlest throws his extra bits on the floor for the dog.
But there’s still good bread there! I find myself encouraging them. My mother’s own words ring in my head from child -
Blog postHe leans forward, eyes bright. Three Hail Marys are his. Each one he has started, and we have followed.
He is four years old, sandy brown curls flopped in his eyes. His brothers have taken turns leading decades for weeks, and now he clamors for his chance, with all the gusto of younger siblings.
He knows more than I realize. He hesitates in spots, but with a glance and a gentle prompt, his eyes sparkle again and he is off.
Here is where he catches me. That breath -
Blog postIf a word is mysterious and also a mouthful, it’s sure to become my favorite.
When I heard “anamnesis” for the first time, I was sparked.
The concept is deceptively simple. By calling to mind the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ (as Catholics do at Mass in each Eucharistic prayer), we enter into these mysteries of salvation.
Let me put this more simply and shockingly: we do not simply remember, in a past, passive way. We participate in a present, palpabl
