The “Waze” of God

Published March 3, 2018 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

You know that moment when you plug your destination into Waze, and you hope and thinking, “Am I going to make it on time?…Waze says I’ll get there 5:23pm…but maybe the traffic will lighten up? Or it will find me a short cut??” A couple of weeks ago I was caught in that circumstance. Chugging… [Read More]

“Do you want to live?”

Published April 8, 2017 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Youth

I had had a big fight with my mom and brother. I was walking super fast across town. It was cold and I had forgotten a jacket. A car full of girls from school drove by, rolling their windows down to jeer and shout insults. I picked up a few rocks and bottles to throw… [Read More]

I Imagined You

Published February 1, 2017 • Written by Norine Shaivitz Filed Under: Blog

I understood that I was before the Throne of God, at the knee of my Heavenly Father. Just a couple of hours before (and a couple of years before this posting), I had been prayed over to receive the Holy Spirit by my parish youth minister, who assigned me as youth group intercessor, or as… [Read More]

A Seminarian’s Reflection on Faith

Published February 26, 2014 • Written by Henry Cuellar Filed Under: Column, Faith

The Lord Our God, Our Father, sees all things. No matter how much we try to hide from him, and no matter how much we might think we are doing things in secret, he sees all things. Night is not dark enough to hide us away from his loving view. He does not look upon… [Read More]

Embracing God’s Response To Prayer

Published February 5, 2014 • Written by Joshua Villarreal Filed Under: Blog, Young Adult, Youth

In prayer, I often find that I seek answers in life. I know that this is a totally uncommon practice (wink wink) but questioning God and His Will, at least for the past few years, has been incredibly involved with seeking answers. There are so many questions that we become obsessed with that, I would… [Read More]

No, no, no

Published April 18, 2013 • Written by Chris Williston Filed Under: Blog, Faith, World and News

All week long I’ve been trying to write about Boston, attempting to write some words of sense that are born out of a senseless situation. When sidewalks are awash with blood, an eight year old boy, among others, is dead, and limbs are lying on the ground, there is no sense.  All I have are… [Read More]

The Audacity of Pope Francis

Published April 4, 2013 • Written by Chris Williston Filed Under: ACNM, Blog, Faith, World and News

On Good Friday morning last week, I received this text message from a friend, “Your new Pope is all kinds of awesome.” You can probably derive from the message that my friend is not Catholic.  He read in the news about Pope Francis’s Holy Thursday visit to wash the feet of prison inmates and, like… [Read More]

Getting Over Myself: Battling the Ego in Relationships

Published February 4, 2013 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Marriage and Love, Young Adult

You know that moment when you realize that you’re wrong? You’re looking at someone, or maybe you’re by yourself in the car or at work, and it hits you: you messed up. You made a mistake. You did or didn’t do something, and as a consequence, you’ve hurt someone else. As the reality hits you,… [Read More]

Thoughts are not enough in Tragedy – Pray

Published July 20, 2012 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Faith, World and News

Life is full of many what ifs. Tragedy is something that we never want to experience and never wish it upon anyone. On the evening of July 19, 2012, many people across the country set out to watch the midnight premier of The Dark Knight Rises. Many of us have been excited for this release… [Read More]

Yo, God, Are You There?

Published July 3, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog

“Mrs. Whitaker, what do you want us to do?” Those are nine words I never thought I’d hear and I certainly never thought I’d have to answer them.  Nearly three years ago I gave birth to our son prematurely. After nine days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) he coded, had to be resuscitated, intubated and… [Read More]

Why We’re Here

Published January 26, 2012 • Written by Maria Huemmer Filed Under: Faith

Volunteering for education-related ministries is one of the ways that I’ve learned the most about our faith. This school year is my first year volunteering with high school teens. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but I kept the slate blank to let God fill in the details with the wonderful people involved in… [Read More]

“Men and women seek God. Young people realize in the depths of their being that this quest is the inner law of their lives.” -Blessed Pope John Paul II As I write this blog, I am sitting on one of four buses from the Diocese of Austin with youth, youth ministers, chaperones and priests from… [Read More]
