This is a F&PB series we started to speak truth and love to all those single, in relationships, and discerning to help live in light of eternity.

I’ve spent a lot of time this fall holding babies. Now I had never really been a baby person; new babies used to frighten me because of their fragility and vulnerability. One of the moments when this first began to change was two years ago when I was holding another baby on Christmas eve and … Continue reading

I wore a scapular, I carried a rosary, and I knew that in my own spiritual life Our Lady’s prayers and intercession had gotten me through some tough times, but their was still a disconnect. I had devotion to her, … Continue reading

When I think of motherhood, I go back to when I was seven years old when my grandmother passed away from lung cancer. It was first time I had ever lost someone that I loved. I spent lots of time with my grandmother, who I called “Nanay” (‘mother’ in Tagalog), especially as my parents often … Continue reading
