Lent 2010
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenten season. Catholics like myself and other Christian faiths will spend the day fasting and abstaining from meat.

Seeking and Performing God’s Will
Foster parenting is one of the most challenging things one can ever do. Fostering a child for 6 months from the time they are 6 months old to 1 year and bonding with the child and vice versa and then having a judge take him out of your home is even more of a challenge. [...]
St. Augustine
Today is the memorial for St. Augustine. This is a Saint very dear to me as much of my life before my Catholic conversion was about pleasing me beyond anyone else. The 1990′s for me was a dry period in terms of spirituality. I never lost my faith but I didn’t feed it much either. [...]

Reflections of a Papal visit to America
For me, this picture meant a lot today. This is Pope Benedict XVI praying at Ground Zero. As he prayed there and talked to survivors of the WTC attack on 9/11, I thought about how it was hate that caused all that mass killing back in 2001, but it is love that will sustain us [...]

Magdi Allam’s Catholic conversion letter
Take a few moments and read his letter. He embraces the fullness of Christ despite fatwas that will be issued against him. God Bless you Mr. Allam!
