Last summer, I found myself upgraded, sitting in 1st class, next to a woman with a fairly high powered job at a Fortune 500 company. She was dressed to the nines, had a look of “no-nonsense-business” about her, & we didn’t talk to one another for the first hour of the flight.

Clare wasted no time yesterday.
5.5 hours of labor. 9 pushes.
It’s amazing what 2nd babies, a ton of prayers, & a very encouraging labor & delivery staff can do for a woman who was utterly terrified of going through childbirth again.
So grateful for this 2020 bright spot.

I once had a student inform me, on Day 1 of their freshman year, that they were an atheist, they thought Catholicism was stupid, and nothing I did or said would change their mind.
So, for 3 months, as they came into class each day, I'd simply ask them "how are you, today?"

My 3 month old daughter is just as Catholic as you & has just as much claim to be in the pew as anyone else. Crying, cooing, giggling, & wiggling babies aren’t a burden: they are a celebration of life & a sign that the Church is for all, regardless of age.

Just want to say:
I’m a Catholic woman who “preaches” a lot & I’ve never wanted to do so at Mass or felt marginalized because I haven’t been “allowed” to.
Voices proclaiming the Gospel outside of liturgy are so needed. It’s clerical to think we have to be there to be valued.

Here’s my real radical Holy Days of Obligation hot take:
