Love centered on Christ is always fruitful. It is transformed in Christ. Dietrich von Hildebrand explains that “the love of the beloved lift

As we begin Advent and prepare for the coming of Jesus, I wanted to share about the power in His holy name. I had intentions of finding all these examples in the Bible showing the importance of Jesus’ name and how often they proclaim power in it… but I am not a detailed person, and I have a deadline and a word limit, so… Go read all of Acts! There are too many examples even in that one book to share. Here is one verse I personally love: “And whatever you ask in my name, I wil

It wasn't until my husband and I were dating that I had much of a connection to St. Jude. He's one of my husband's favorite saints and his confirmation patron. He is known as the patron saint of impossible, desperate or lost causes( depending on who you ask), and I didn't really get how that played a role in my life until more recently. Going through infertility definitely felt like a desperate, lost or impossible cause at various times. Going through our miscarriages felt th

If this is a sensitive topic for you, please skip ahead past the first photo to continue reading.] July has always been a month I looked forward to for as long as I can remember. My family would go on a beach vacation to North Carolina and celebrate the 4th of July with food and fireworks. We had wonderful memories to hold onto. But last July changed how I would look at

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." (James 5:14-15) In his epistle, St. James urges us to turn to the Church in our times of sickness, and we know that sickness can be spiritual, emotional and physical. On the bumpy road of infertility,
