Simply Call Her “Mom”

I was looking for a nice  quote about mothers and I found this instead. It’s a lovely story about someone we simply call “mom”. A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” “Your angel will be [...]

Life at 3pm

The heat is getting a little oppressive so staying in the garden and feeling the gentle breeze touch my cheeks is a welcome thing.

As We Celebrate Holy Thursday

“Do you understand what I have done? You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am. And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other. I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what [...]
