The Dodgers won the world series, Trick-or-Treaters will be roaming the streets this evening, Election Day is right around the corner, I submitted my finished novel to my publisher, and in the midst of all of…

Dear friends in Christ, This Advent our theme is “Emmanuel – God with us.” All year long we have been practicing St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Prayer of Examen during our centering moment. This is the exercise where we reflect back over the past 24 hours and examine how God was with us the entire time. The story of Jesus’ birth…
