RE Congress App Networks Los Angeles’ Event Participants

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:46 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

If you’re planning to attend this week’s Religious Education Congress in Anaheim, be sure to check out the Congress “app”. In reality, the app is a mobile website, accessible from any device without download. Along with giving conference information, schedules, maps and more, it offers participants the opportunity to upload a profile to include social networking links and bios. This will help those of us who love to immediately twitter-follow or “like” someone we meet at Congress. With just a... Read more

Thriving in a “Shared Parish”

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:46 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

The following press release from the USCCB caught my eye today. Perhaps that’s because I worship in what the release refers to as a “shared parish”, or a church where “two or more languages or cultural contexts are present in the ministerial life of a parish.” Friday night brought this home for me. I arrived at my parish to attend our Stations of the Cross. The packed parking lot should have been a sign that things weren’t as they usually... Read more

Sweet Tweets for 3/07/14 — Walking with Christ Joyfully

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Even though it’s only been two days, a Friday seems not only the perfect day for Sweet Tweets, but also a perfect day to reflect back upon how our Lent has been going so far. Perhaps, like me, you’ve already played the mental game of “I don’t really need to fast from xyz after all this year…” or “I said I’d to abc daily, but once a week is really a better idea.” How quickly someone like me can go...

Venerable Fulton Sheen a Step Closer to Sainthood with Approval of Reported Miracle

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Big news today out of the Diocese of Peoria: the 7-member board of medical experts who advise the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints at the Vatican unanimously approved a reported miracle attributed to the intercession of the Venerable Servant of God Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Definitely take a moment to read the full press release. I have to share that this news today has me alternating between tears of joy and happy dancing. I have had a strong personal devotion...

Defend Us in Battle

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

What do you need today? Many of my online friends are galavanting around in Mardi Gras swag, shroving it up before the onset of Lent tomorrow. But I find myself less in party mode than in panic mode. It has more to do with spiritual struggles than stress, but a massively crushing workload is not contributing to giving the best of myself to my Lenten preparations. And lest I taunt “you know who” into more antics, I’ll avoid writing what... Read more

Pope Francis Continues to Urge Prayers for Central African Republic

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

In a new video out today, Rome Reports emphasizes Pope Francis’ concern for the people of the Central African Republic: In the past few weeks, Pope Francis has constantly kept one fragile country in his thoughts, the Central African Republic. POPE FRANCIS URBI ET ORBI DECEMBER 25 “Grant peace, dear Child, to the Central African Republic, often forgotten and overlooked. Yet you, Lord, forget no one! And you also want to bring peace to that land, torn apart by a spiral of... Read more

Sweet Tweets for 2/28/14 — On the Essential Nature of the Eucharist and Lenten Resources

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Let’s keep Pope Francis in our prayers today in a special way. The Vatican is reporting that he cancelled today’s commitments due to a “minor ailment” and slight fever. Honestly, with the pace our Holy Father keeps, he needs our prayers every day. Here’s hoping that he’s tucked away in bed, getting some good rest! His illness comes after a tweet this morning that was a wonderful reminder on the centrality of the Eucharist in our lives. In moments when... Read more
