Recently, my students and I have been reading Venerable Fulton Sheen’s Victory Over Vice, which focuses on the seven deadly sins, the last words of Christ, and the virtues that overcome these vices. We landed on Pride this past week. Whew! How prideful we can all be! What struck me in the chapter was the danger of intellectual pride - a pride that assumes we know all we need to know…

Recently, we celebrated the Baptism of our fifth child. As Catholic parents, through infant Baptism, we take on the promise to prepare the hearts and souls of our children for the Kingdom of Heaven. Not an easy task! We often desire to make their paths straight, mountains low, and rough ways smooth on our own accord; however, in our Baptisms we are called to deeper conversion and surrender to allow the Holy Spirit guide us in our parenting and lives. Suffering will happen for us and our children and the surrender is oh so difficult.
