Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is held on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 in a child-sized Atrium built for a hands-on learning experience of Jesus and a deeper understanding of the Mass. It is a space where the children are given time to listen, wonder, work, pray, sing, and talk about God. Our adult catechists and helpers don’t teach in the traditional sense. Instead, they journey with the children in discovering the awe and wonder of a loving relationship with the Good Shepherd Jesus.

Heidie, a Catholic convert, did not kneel or see others kneel in the Protestant community she came from. The first time she saw a kneeler, she thought it was a footrest. But seeing another woman flip it down to kneel and pray opened Heidie’s eyes to a practice she thought extinct and found mysterious. For those of us who are lifelong Catholics, Heidie’s reflection on kneeling can help us see its sacredness anew. ... See MoreSee Less

There is so much that we can learn from the saints, not only through their words, but also through the way they lived their lives. The saints help us recognize saintly virtues that we might already possess at least in part, and knowing their lives can help us transform ours.

I will be honest—while these words can sound comforting, there were times when I thought them also a bit of a joke—the not-so-funny kind. What part of “take up your cross daily” is restful? Or “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect?” Or “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature?” Saint resumes are rarely short.
Yet over the years, I’ve come to see what I could not earlier: the yoke is the rest. To allow ourselves to be yoked to Jesus—to labor only with Him and for Him—is the ultimate rest. What does this mean? ... See MoreSee Less
