The Catholic Approach to the Rosary: An Endurance Prayer for Body, Soul, and Everyday Life
October is the Month of the Rosary—a time to rediscover one of the Church’s most powerful endurance prayers. In this reflection, I share how praying the rosary before workouts, after runs, and throughout daily life strengthens not only the body but the soul. Through Mary’s intercession and the rhythm of the beads, I find peace, perseverance, and purpose—especially in motherhood and praying for my daughter on the autism spectrum. Discover how the rosary can become your own endurance and strength prayer, helping you show up with grace in every season of life.
Now Is the Time: Learning to Have Conversations With People We Don’t Agree With
Now is the time to rediscover the art of dialogue. In a world marked by division, Catholics are called to engage in meaningful conversations—even with those we disagree with. Rooted in the teaching of Nostra Aetate from Vatican II, the Church reminds us that dialogue is not about relativism or watering down the truth, but about evangelization through respect, charity, and love. Human formation equips us with the maturity, patience, and empathy needed to have conversations that build bridges instead of walls. By listening first, speaking truth with love, and respecting free will, we can promote the life and dignity of every human person and contribute to the common good. Dialogue heals, rebuilds, and strengthens the Body of Christ. Learn how you can begin practicing Christ-centered dialogue today.

Read on to discover how to find your Paul, Barnabas, and Timothy, and why doing so could change everything.
What Do I Do With This?
Have you ever received a gift you didn’t ask for—and didn’t even want? In this reflection, I unpack the uncomfortable experience of being on the receiving end of something that stirred more tension than gratitude. But instead of brushing it off, I asked: What do I do with this? This blog explores how God can use even the awkward, unwanted, or misunderstood moments to shape us—body, mind, and soul. It’s a gentle invitation to let grace do its work, especially when it shows up wrapped in something unexpected.
