The Nest
From our nest to yours, this weekly blog shares the truth of God’s love, the sanctity of human life, and the beauty of God entrusting us to one another.
Men - Initiate, Protect, and Promote Love
When God created the “masculine” to initiate, protect, and promote love, He gave the created world a sign of Himself, the Blessed Trinity! While the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit act as one—we can examine each Person of the Trinity to derive a better understanding of who God created men to be.
What Is A Man?
The masculine was lived in perfection throughout the life of Jesus Christ; therefore, men are called in a unique way to live the imitatio Christi through the perfection of their masculinity.
Love Given, Received, and Shared
When our Creator created the human person in His image and likeness, as male and female, He had the spousal love of the Cross in His mind’s eye. The gift of love between the masculine and feminine is a sign of our redemption…
What is the Feminine Genius?
As we continue to explore “the feminine”, we will examine the “feminine genius.” Over the past few decades, the Church has used this phrase to refer to the unique gifts bestowed upon the feminine by her Creator
SHE is Priest, Prophet, and King
Women are called to live out the role of priest, prophet, and king through their uniquely feminine gifts. Our Blessed Mother shows us the dignity of living out the offices of priest, prophet, and king as a woman.
Take Up Your Cross
Our Lord knows the culture we face in 2023; He knows the the weight of the cross we bear upon our shoulders, and the difficult journey ahead. He chose us for today…
Jesus, I Trust In You
o see a life transformed by the mercy of God is to catch a glimpse of the resurrected Lord. Through His mercy, we see death defeated, life resurrected, and a sinner redeemed.
Christ, my HOPE, is Arisen
We cannot reawaken a culture that bears witness to the sanctity of human life apart from the Church. So too, then our home, the domestic church, must also be a living sign of hope.
He Chose You
For many parents, our past looks different than the future we desire for our children… It is in these moments that we must allow God’s grace to enter into these conversations.
Uncomfortable Conversations
The truth is, having the “hard” conversations and giving your children a solid Christ-centered moral foundation is just as life-saving as pulling them out of the pool when they're sinking to the bottom.
Listen to Him
In the silence and vulnerability of our hearts, we are being asked to seriously obey God's command to listen to Him—We are being asked to trust our Father enough to let Him transform our lives.
I am His and He is mine
While I am small, sinful, and insignificant, He gives me dignity and purpose because of His radical love; I am His beloved masterpiece. He adorned me with freckles and desires the canvas of my soul. I am loved. I am wanted. I am His, and He is mine.
Where Is Your Well?
All of us have an inherent desire to be seen, known, and loved by God, but we walk a razor’s edge between the desire to be seen and delighted in by our heavenly Father and to be seen and delighted in by the world.
Your Children Are Watching
As you raise your children in the faith and walk the storms that rage within this culture, know that the joy of His peace is only as far away as your heart. Your children are watching you.
Lent Is Upon Us!
The reason most of us are what we are —mediocre Christians, "up" one day, "down" the next — is simply because we refuse to let God work on us. As crude marble, we rebel against the hand of the Sculptor; as unvarnished canvas, we shrink from the oils and tints of the Heavenly Artist
Devastating Statistics
Did you know that the average age a person stumbles across pornographic images is 8 years old? Did you also know that a recent study shows that children ages 9-12 are sharing self-made pornographic images of themselves at double the rate they did last year?
Modesty Honors Beauty
The created world around us drips with the beauty of our Lord, but nothing reveals His beauty like a human person created in His image and likeness.
Freedom & Law
The divinely revealed law, defined by just one word, is love. Love in action is the moral life. The morally good choice is the one that fulfills the purpose and meaning of the freedom to love as Christ does.
Fishers of Men
As members of His Body, we form disciples by encountering the Living Word of God in the day-to-day of family life, and we participate in God’s salvific mission by honoring the dignity of the human person and celebrating God’s gift of LIFE
I pledge to joyfully reawaken a culture of life in my domestic church!
