Comparison Killed the Cat

This post was originally posted over at Canadian Catholic.  /// They say ‘curiosity killed the cat,’ but in my experience, comparison has always killed this cat. I’m not sure if the men struggle with this as much as the women, but comparison has always weighed heavily on my heart hijacking my self-esteem and worth and … Continue reading →

Come away with me

For the past two months, I have had Matthew 11:28-30 constantly on my heart. “Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest…For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” For the past two months, I kept coming to Him so heavily burdened. And I would … Continue reading →

The Depths of His Mercy

The other day, I finally found the grace I needed to go to confession. I had needed to go for a while. Several days ago, I woke up 40 minutes before my alarm giving me just enough time to get ready and get my butt to Mass. It was God’s way of saying, “Hey Eunice, go … Continue reading →

A Braveheart kind of Good Friday

At the persistence of some gentlemen, I finally caved and watched Braveheart one afternoon. (Warning: For those of you who haven’t seen Scottish Mel Gibson, this post does contain spoilers…) This isn’t a movie review, so I’ll refrain from commentary about the movie, but one scene in particular inspired me in anticipation of Good Friday. … Continue reading →

Head Over Heels

Becs and I have fallen in love as of late…with these posters. We stumbled upon them on Facebook as friends of ours began to use them as cover photos and now, we just can’t get enough. These were just some of our favourites…although it’s terribly hard to choose… Can you tell that we’re just a … Continue reading →

Celebrating Sainthood | St. Francis of Assisi

{source for St. Francis image} At the end of every year I fly home to rural Ontario for the holidays. The contrast between the excitement, noise and action of each semester at school with the quiet, simple, disconnectedness of my family home in the country always forces me to reflect on the dualism in my … Continue reading →

Celebrating Sainthood | St. Therese

To kick off our Celebrating Sainthood Series, I’ve chosen the first saint who made me realize what sainthood is really about… As I reflect on St.Therese, I am reminded of the passage about Martha and Mary in Luke. “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary … Continue reading →

The Ugly

I got back late Monday night from a weekend trip to Calgary. I spent more time on the greyhound than I did visiting friends, but it was worth it for the gross amount of chocolate I consumed (it doesn’t count when you’re traveling), the friends I laughed with for probably 13 of the 15 hour … Continue reading →

Deep joy

Today is the first day of spring! It is finally official, but the weather has been so nice for the past couple of days here in the Nish and it’s been maaaarvelous! Campus  seems to have come alive again; students are tossing a football around on the lawn between Cameron and MacKinnon Hall, and others … Continue reading →

Inspiration for the week ahead..

  “Great are you, O Lord, and exceedingly worthy of praise; your power is immense, and your wisdom beyond reckoning. And so we men, who are a due part of your creation, long to praise you – we also carry our mortality about with us, carry the evidence of our sin and with it the … Continue reading →
