It reflects the universal human journey of searching, surrendering, and healing—where each ache of the body and silence of the road becomes a teacher. The refrain of walking “without knowing” speaks to the courage of faith, while moments of singing and crying mirror the soul’s honesty in transformation. Through breaking patterns and listening deeply, the journey becomes not just one of distance, but of returning—carrying the heart home, step by step, toward something deeper, fuller, and more true. | 2 | 3 | Rebel Pope - Ten Years of Hope - Pope Francis Pope Francis, elected in 2013, emerged as a leader committed to reform, inclusion, and care for the marginalized. Taking the name Francis, a first in papal history, signified his commitment to the poor and the environment, inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi. His papacy followed a turbulent period in the Vatican, marked by scandals and Pope Benedict XVI’s unprecedented resignation. From the outset, Pope Francis sought to reshape the Church’s mission, focusing on the suffering and the excluded. His leadership has encountered resistance, but he continues to emphasize that change is necessary and aligns with the Church’s true calling. | 2 | 4 | Father Jim - I am not worthy Fr. Jim begins by recalling a humorous scene from the movie Wayne’s World, where the main characters bow before their idol, saying, 'We're not worthy!' He connects this idea to the biblical experiences of Peter and Isaiah, both of whom felt unworthy in the presence of God. Peter, after witnessing Jesus perform the miracle of the great catch of fish, reacts by saying, 'Leave me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.' Similarly, Isaiah, upon seeing a vision of God, declares that he is unclean. Fr. Jim explains that this deep sense of unworthiness is actually a sign of a genuine encounter with God, as it reveals our human limitations in the face of divine greatness. | 2 | 5 | Blog - Feast of the Holy Family - How Are Parents - Called to Love - Their Children as They Grow - Into Adults? The blog reflects on the Feast of the Holy Family, focusing on the story of Jesus being lost in the temple as a profound lesson on parenting, growth, and faith. It explores the evolving nature of love as children grow into adulthood, requiring parents to adapt and let go of control, trusting their children’s journey and God’s plan. Drawing on Jungian psychology, it highlights the shift from building structures in the first half of life to seeking deeper meaning in the second, while Parker Palmer’s insight into the broken heart emphasizes how pain can open us to growth and renewal. The blog also draws parallels with ancient Indigenous rites of passage, illustrating the universal need to confront hardship for spiritual and emotional maturity. Ultimately, it calls parents to trust the process of transformation, surrendering to a greater power as their children step beyond the comfort of home into their unique callings. | 2 |
