By Suellen Brewster, Catholic Exchange - St. Therese of Lisieux, after a long struggle to discover what her life as a Carmelite was about, famously said, “My vocation is love!” If she couldn’t be a missionary or a soldier or a priest or any of the other things her wildly generous heart wished to be, she realized that she was to be love burning brightly inside the cloister.

By Dan Fitzpatrick, Catholic Stand - It is important to understand that the people we surround ourselves with have a massive impact on our lives. Our approach to life, the goals we set, and the opportunities we are given are usually correlated with the friends we choose and the relationships we forge... Parents would be smart to pass this knowledge on to their children. 

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - On May 8, the anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV, the internet was packed with commentary about how much we now know (or don’t know) about the new Pope’s pastoral plans. I refrained from joining in analysis, because frankly I still have questions about what this pontificate will bring. Next week we’ll know much more.
