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!

my mess, my business.

It is Him who reaches down and picks up our broken pieces for as long as we have pieces to pick up, and Him who loves us even when we struggle to love ourselves. It is Him who heals our broken hearts, Him who binds up our wounds, and Him who rolls up His sleeves and helps us clean our mess.
