Some thoughts…
Our weekly blog are thoughts that share 1) the truth of God’s love, 2) the sanctity of human life, and 3) the beauty of God entrusting us to one another. Each blog is written for an adult audience (although older teens could benefit too), and at the end of each blog is a free PDF download parents and parishes can use as a resource for elementary-age children. If you find value in our work, please share it!

Why is Judith's story recounted on Marian feasts? Because in St Augustine's words, In the Old Testament, the New is concealed, in the New the Old is revealed. Judith could be considered a "type" of Mary…Her virtue, God's will for her life, and Judith's obedience points us to Mary.
Hail Mary!
As human beings, our God-given dignity is rooted in God’s personal invitation for each of us to share in the heart of God—i.e. His Divine life. Mary’s role as our mother is to take each of us by the hand and lead us closer to the heart of her Son, Jesus.
I pledge to joyfully reawaken a culture of life in my domestic church!
