Christmas Mourning
...to change or let go of in some way. It is when I have done this kind of reflection and made life-giving decisions that I have allowed grief to be my teacher. Because my sister Anne died last summer and I had joined her family for Christmas for the past 17 years, I have again begun to let grief be my teacher at this holiday time. So now in prayer, I have been asking God to help me discern not...
We all need a Polish grandpa! We all need the Christ Child.
...birthday celebration. In between the deliveries, he practices saying English words and phrases out loud — in the quiet of his home, as he makes his way on the subway, even in the bathtub! Post-a-notes galore with English words in bold print are attached to the corresponding items in his home, including one on the dog. This goes on for months. This man is dedicated. By now, I hope you are thinking (as was I), what is motivating this man...
Sister Emily TeKolste: What does it mean to you to be a Catholic Sister today?
...families. And we do it all with the words of wisdom from mentors and beloved voices. For Erin and Peter, it was the words of J.R.R. Tolkien – the ring poem printed in elvish on the inside of Peter’s ring – and Mr. Rogers – a lifelong favorite of Erin’s.

Sister Joan Slobig (formerly Sister Denis Mary)
...curiosity about life was fostered by my parents. My father, an avid reader, gave me a love for learning. One of my earliest memories is the day that I was able to get my first library card. You couldn’t get one until you could print your own name. At 4 years old, I was a faithful patron at the Homewood Public Library, and later worked there. My mother instilled in me a sense of justice and compassion toward others. Many...
