National Hugging Day: Go and Hug Someone!
...Secondly, hugs seem to spring from us spontaneously and in response to a particular situation. I bet both the hugger and the hugged know how long a hug should last given the situation. (I would like to meet the person who asked the question so I could give her/him an 11-second hug. Just for the fun of it.) Recognition In spite of my tongue-in-cheek approach thus far, I do believe that hugs and their importance in our lives deserve acknowledgement...

In today’s political climate, the efforts...

June 16, 2024: Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
...he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.” He said, “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky...

Her recalls an afternoon walk one spring day from the school building over to Lake Michigan. “As we were walking along, and I was talking non-stop about the meaning of Luke’s Gospel, Mary Catherine would say: ‘Bob, look at that beautiful flower.’ Or, ‘Isn’t Lake Michigan just spectacular today?!
