Being Woman

           My cousin-in-law with her newborn daughter I have read somewhere that all women are mothers, even if we never have our own biological children. I have come to see how that is true. For as I mature as a person, I am finding myself more and more a mother to others. […]

Loving the sinner (in me)

And I… will stumble and fall I’m still learning to love Just starting to crawl – Lyrics from “Say Something” Almost exactly 8 years ago today, I made some life-shattering realisations. 1. I thought I knew God, but I really didn’t know Him at all. 2. I was unhappy. 3. I did not know who […]

Breathing in the Pause

Today was the first time in more than a week that I felt I had ample space to breathe. No gathering to prepare for, no fridge to stock, no cards to write, no presents to wrap, no pile of dishes and cutlery to wash. There were chores to be done – our home needed to […]

Are we too impatient for spiritual fruit?

There is an ancient wisdom saying that goes “Nature never hurries, yet everything is accomplished.” Indeed when we look at the natural world, everything follows the steady beat of the rhythm that God has given to them. Seeds don’t rush to take root, saplings don’t rush to bear fruit, and the animal kingdom goes about […]

The cry of an unfaithful heart

I am attacked from all directions. I feel old compulsions and knee-jerk reactions stir to life within me. TV bingeing, tech-bingeing – all of it. I am not at peace, and I am cooperating with them to make me miserable. All my appetites are out of whack and my old insecurities are pinching at me, making […]

The Wound of the Elder Brother

Rembrandt’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son” I read an interesting piece this morning titled “What if the Prodigal Son met the Older Brother First?” In it, the author shares a reflection about how “prodigal sons” seeking to return to the Father often never make it back home (to the Church) when they encounter the self-righteous, unwelcoming […]

Have you discovered YOUR story yet?

Joseph Schooling after winning the 100m Butterfly at the 2016 Olympics in Rio You and I – all of us – were created to be part of an epic story that spans the length and breadth of Eternity. The human heart was created with a desire to be part of something greater than ourselves, and […]

The Warrior Queen

Bishop Robert Barron on the Queenship of Mary Last year, on the Memorial of the Queenship of Mary and the 3rd anniversary of my consecration to Mary, I blogged about what led me to make the consecration when I had felt there was no need for it because I felt I already knew Christ – […]

Year 9: Learning to love in hard times

  This year as we crossed into our wedding anniversary, we are both tired and worn out. Initial plans for a home-cooked dinner yesterday was tanked when he was held back due to an emergency meeting at work. When he came home past 11pm, he was so exhausted that instead of taking out the dinner […]

Who is ministering to our ministers?

I was gently exhorted today by a priest to let myself be ministered to by others. His caring words (after a wonderful confession) almost made me tear. The truth of my lived experience is that unless I intentionally, consciously sought out to be ministered to, I rarely am. Even when I was working full-time in […]
