Trusting in God’s Faithfulness
My latest post for Into The Deep is up today! In our first series for 2024, we are reflecting on the grace we seek for the new year, and a Psalm that gives us assurance and hope to live that grace. This post was inspired by the psalms of lament and a prayer that I wrote in…
Transformed to Live the Word
My latest post for Into The Deep is up today! In case you missed it earlier, Into The Deep has a new home! We are now part of Ignatian Ministries, the newly launched ministry from Becky Eldredge and friends. This incredibly talented team is offering a place for community and accompaniment, especially for those who…
Using Our Gifts: The Need is the Call
Our team of writers at Into the Deep are currently sharing about a need they have seen (or are seeing in their lives) and how they knew God was calling them (or is calling them) to respond to that need. God’s call is specific and sometimes immediate. In other words, the need itself is the…
Joy in the Single Life: Podcast
I was so grateful to be invited into a conversation with Sister Colleen Gibson and Sister Erin McDonald who host the “Beyond the Habit” podcast.

Holy Saturday: Morning Prayer
I’m always grateful for the opportunity to preach, and I was especially honored to be invited to offer a reflection during Holy Saturday Morning Prayer at St. Mary of the Lake today.

Singles: Your love is a reflection of God’s love, too!
I am blessed to belong to a cadre of godmothers, aunties, scout leaders, neighbors, teachers, and friends who have been entrusted to shape and form the lives of young people. They say it takes a village after all! Last summer, I found myself at the local park district sports celebration. Imagine a sea of children…

Darkness Is Not Dark For You
This month our team at “Into the Deep” has been reflecting on nature as a holy teacher. Is there a moment that comes to mind for you – a God moment – when you felt particularly close to God while out in nature? There are so many images of nature in scripture, and Jesus uses…
The Call to Imitate Christ
Our team at “Into the Deep” has been reflecting on an Ignatian approach to discernment and how we invite God into our “deeper yeses” as we discern where God is calling us. Whether you are making a major career shift or simply trying to be more intentional about praying through your everyday decisions, check out…
God is there before our arrival (National Catholic Reporter)
Our first task in approaching another people, another culture, another religion is to take off our shoes, for the place we are approaching is holy. Else we may find ourselves treading on someone else’s dreams; more serious still, we may forget that God was there before our arrival. (Max Warren, in his introduction to the…
Finding Hope in Forgiveness
It strikes me that anyone searching for hope is likely doing so under less than ideal circumstances. We generally don’t go looking for hope when all is smooth and going well. If you’re sitting with the sting of tragedy, grief, anxiety, or disappointment – chances are you will find something in these reflections that will…
Belonging in Relationship
