One of my favorite aspects of my job is when I have the chance to teach the children. Unfortunately, as the parish's Director of Religious Education, I don’t get to do that as often as I would like. I spend an inordinate amount of time in my office, emailing parents, inputting data, and planning eve... (www.catholic365.com)

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

The two most important moments of your life are now and the hour of your death. Maybe we know others who live as if the moment of death will never arrive: they live only for “now”. The fact is, though, that every “now” of our life bears a direct impact on which eternal dwelling God will send us pack... (www.catholic365.com)
