Mother Hilda recalls a story on Cardinal Basil Hume reflecting on his approaching death by recognising that his achievements as a monk and bishop were ultimately less important than God’s mercy

Mark Raue says Dorothy Day taught that our love for God is measured by how we love the people we love least, especially the poor, marginalised, oppressed and outcast. Day's activism, rooted in her Catholic faith, was influential enough that she is now on the path to sainthood.

Byron & Francine Pirola say miscarriage is a common but often silent loss and is a profound but often hidden form of grief. Each parent grieves differently, and we are encouraged to respond with tenderness and presence—acknowledging the child, offering practical and spiritual support, and ensuring that no couple must grieve alone

Trish McCarthy reflects on what we focus on to stimulate our heart, mind and body. On one side, the often unobtainable and getting depressed because we can never achieve it, or on the contrary, the other side, God’s majesty around us. What do we focus on, negative and downward or positive and uplifting?
