A Christmas Prayer
A Christmas Blessing Let us pray together this Christmas: May our minds be opened to further understand where we need Christ’s light in our lives. May our ears be opened to hear the words of Christ calling us to make room for Him in our lives. May our eyes be...
Advent – Seeing Through the Eyes of Joseph
There have been many times I have imagined myself as Mary in a scene from the Gospels. I have imagined almost every feeling she must have had navigating being the Mother of God. I have viscerally felt her fear, anxiety, joy, and, most of all, deep, lasting love for...
Resisting Jesus – Resisting Call to Action
Surrendering Like Joseph For over four years the idea of creating a course on Ignatian prayer sat tucked away on a long-term dream list. Every now and then, it would resurface to the forefront, but as I prayed with it God would gently tuck it away again for further...
Resisting Jesus – Resisting Mercy
Resisting Mercy: Connection is the Antidote We sat at our gate staring at the monitor. Our plane had already been delayed once. If you’d told me that southern California would get a winter storm, complete with snow, I wouldn’t have believed you. Yet here we were...
Resisting Jesus – Resisting Intimacy with Jesus
Does anyone else struggle with intimacy in prayer? This was not a concept or experience encouraged when I was growing up, and it has been a struggle even now after 5-ish years of immersion in Ignatian Spirituality. Ignatian Contemplation has been a great gift...
Resisting Jesus – Resisting Forgiveness
Holding Down the Sand - Resisting Forgiveness “I’m holding down the sand!” My daughter stamped down the shifting beach sand with all her might, trying to keep the waves from pulling it away. Her desperate attempts to contain the earth beneath her feet has become an...
Resisting Jesus – Resisting Prayer
Squatting at eye level to see my tiny niece allowed me to hear her more clearly. The whispered voice, warm and moist with a child’s eagerness, played in my ear – “Aunt Mo, how do I talk to Jesus?” The desire to communicate with God springs forth from the heart of...
Setting Up My Year in Christ – Who am I being called to love?
I feel guilty each time I drive through an intersection and see someone with a cardboard sign asking for help. I rarely carry cash. While I know that my small token of money will not change that person’s life, I wonder if maybe I should do more. Who are we being...
Setting Up My Year in Christ – Noticing Control and Responding in Surrender
I’ve always loved new beginnings: the blank slates they offer to me, the invitations to reflect on where I’ve come from and where I hope my path will take me next, the chances to express gratitude for what has shaped me and let go of what has weighed me down. Of...
Setting Up My Year in Christ – Christ’s Call to Greater Trust
“Mary Ann, you speak of yourself as a tired sheepdog constantly watching the edges of the field. What would it look like if you were a sheep?” I could feel myself stiffen, my hands clenched. “What would you be losing if you changed roles? What would the gains feel...
Setting Up My Year in Christ – Discerning Christ’s Call to Put My Gifts in Action
How I long for people to understand how their gifts are woven through everything. My gifts work within my personality, my history, my experiences. Your gifts work within your desires and loves. This is the way God created us. On the one hand, gifts are natural and...
Setting Up My Year in Christ – Christ’s Invitation To See My Gifts
The idea of God giving gifts to anyone seemed so foreign to me. I believed God’s gifts were reserved for priests, nuns, saints, and laypeople who devoted their lives to God’s mission. A few weeks ago, I was at Sunday mass at my parish, and Fr. Andrew gave his sermon...
