Meet Daniel Schackle, husband to Michelle and father to little Michael. Daniel tells the story of Michael, who, it turns out, is THE miracle recognized by the Vatican that allowed Fr. Michael McGivney to be named Blessed.

When someone leaves the Church, our first response might be that they needed to know more about what the Church teaches. This may be true, but perhaps we should ask whether or not they knew Jesus.

If Jesus were to walk up to us today, right now, we should ask ourselves if we would have the courage and the wisdom to drop everything as the Apostles did and follow him wherever he would lead us.

These are certainly very tough times for many, but perhaps we can see some possibilities for a renewal of grace in our lives as we seek to navigate through the difficulties.
