A Labor of Love

Published September 5, 2016 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Faith, Family, Prayer, Young Adult, Youth

We often get distracted from the best thing because we pursue many good things. This thought is the key with which Fr Patricio Rodriguez, ISP, opened up this passage from the Gospel of Luke in a recent homily: At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they… [Read More]

Drink like a Catholic (Professional)

Published August 25, 2016 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Faith, Young Adult

Let me begin by clarifying – I don’t mean drink like it’s your job. Unless of course, you’re a sommelier. The past two years, I have published posts about the relationship between our faith and drinking. I still get some interesting questions and discussions about the topic. If you haven’t, I recommend reading Drink like… [Read More]

Get to Work: Reflections on Turning 30

Published October 12, 2015 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Young Adult

Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his work. – Luke 3:23 I spent the eve of my 30th birthday sitting in the car eating Oreos, and wearing old workout clothes, pigtails and Converse. Had I not included “30th birthday” in that sentence, I could have been describing a 7 year old. I… [Read More]

Back to Busy – Inspiration for Fall 2015

Published August 24, 2015 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Youth

But despite Texas’ insistence outdoors that summer persists, this week kiddos are loading back into school buses, parents are cheering, teachers are groaning, and the boost of energy and activity seems to pervade many realms of economic and social life…. [Read More]

Ways to Find Value in Your Work as a Young Adult

Published February 11, 2015 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Faith, Young Adult

Most young adults aren’t working their dream jobs, and it commonly leads to a lingering restlessness.

A Servent In India II: 1 Billion People 1500 Words

Published October 31, 2013 • Written by Trenton Henrichson Filed Under: Social Justice

As I have described in my Last Post I was recently blessed to be able to volunteer with Hands on Houses in Tamil Nadu India. “So how was India?” That seems to be what everyone has been asking me lately. Let me first confess most of my answers to date haven’t been very inspired. I… [Read More]

Ora et labora, aka Work and/as/in Prayer

Published April 25, 2013 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Faith, Young Adult

Driving home from class last night, as I offered a decade of the rosary to help calm my mind, what was the first thing the Spirit brought to my calm mind but a friendly reminder – don’t forget your blog post tomorrow!

Is Your Software Catholic?

Published April 11, 2012 • Written by Brandon Kraft Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I’m a big geek. While some guys like to fix cars, build things with wood, or tinker with things like that, I tinker with the Internet. I like digging into the guts of computers, specifically, what makes the web work. One of the reasons the Internet works is open-source software. Open-source software, by definition, means… [Read More]
