Just as Christ sanctified the waters of Baptism by His very participation in the River Jordan, so too did our Lord, by entering into humanity through the womb of a woman, sanctify both the dwelling place of the unborn and the family that receives new life.

Why did Jesus become small? He is the author of all life, the science of generation, and the power that begets all things, yet He made Himself small so that through the womb of His mother, He could enter into the vulnerability of man.

They see the impossible before them like the Israelites when they stood before the Red Sea. Frightened and overcome by despair they can’t think past the barrier before them—there is no way forward that doesn’t destroy me…  With their toes on the water’s edge and the Egyptians closing in, do you remember what Moses told the Israelites?

Every day, in every space, we have the opportunity to affirm the dignity and worth of the people we encounter, but so many of us choose silence. If we are honest with ourselves, our silence has allowed the systematic destruction of human life in every community throughout the world.

Our goal is that each day will be an exercise in virtue and preparation for the personal and undeserving gift of Christ's Passion and Resurrection.

Stations of the Cross to pray as a family! These meditations are written to invite your child into Christ’s Passion.

We make up the Body of Christ—when we offer our suffering in union with the Cross, our own sufferings gain in redemptive power.

As parents, when we navigate conversations about the dignity of the human person with our child, we cannot exclude addressing the dimension of sorrow that so often is a companion on our journey.

God gives us the dignity of participating in His plan of salvation—the dignity of true choice. Like Mary, each of us must choose to give our “yes” to the invitation before us—but yes is hard.
