World Youth Days in Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.lisboa2023.org/en), are about to begin. Young Catholics from all over the world are gathering there to meet Pope Francis and one another.

In this episode I had a great pleasure to chat with Lana Turvey-Collins. Her experience as a facilitator for the Plenary Council in Australia (https://plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au/), did not stop her from starting the family and becoming the person she wants to be. In this grounded in ordinary life conversation we talk about challenges of being a mum, a Catholic and a person whose life and professional mission go hand in hand.

The time of travel for the last couple of weeks made me ponder about the topic of LONELINESS. In this sharing I am reflecting with all you on some possible ways of addressing the problem for ourselves and others.

This is one of the shorter episodes - reflection from the heart in which I share with you my reflection about: What and where is HOME? I invite you to share your own thoughts and hope that some of the questions would provide some food for thought for you.

Being still overseas and travelling to different places made me ponder about our life as a pilgrimage. Who is a pilgrim and what is a pilgrimage. These are questions I am pausing for myself and others.
