How are we supposed to be perfect?
send us a text via Fan Mail!
Seriously, why are we being asked to be perfect. I recorded this, and then, in one of those great God moments, I was led to read this quote from St. Augustine, who, as concise as possible, sums up life on earth:
"Our meditation in this present life should be in the praise of God; for the eternal exultation of our life hereafter will be the praise of God, and none can become fit for the future life, who hath not practiced himself for it now.

Interview with Father Harrison: the parent's role in educating their children
send us a text via Fan Mail!
A fabulous interview with my dear friend Father Harrison, who podcasts over at https://www.clericallyspeaking.com/!
We delve into the Catechism of the Catholic Church...what is it, where did it come from and how it can teach us to be better parents...what is our role as Christians parents in educating our children. Father brings so much depth into the words of the Catechism, I'm so grateful for him helping me to unpack and understand my role better.
