Because most issues are life issues, if you think about it.

We Have a Published Author in the House . . .

My daughter Emily, who graduated from Spring Hill College in 2013 with a major in Creative Writing, is an amazing writer of fiction and poetry. I’ve shared her prize-winning poetry with you here before, and she had her first short story published last year.
Yesterday, her short story Sincerely, Persephone was published in the online journal Rose Red Review. Writing is her career choice, and she has been working hard.
I would love for my readers to head over there to read and come back to tell me what you think, if you are so inclined. I think you will see this isn’t just parental pride talking.

How incredibly proud you must be, and rightfully so. I am looking forward to sitting down to read your daughter’s short story after the kids go to bed tonight. Thank you for sharing!

I really need to work on this.I'm not gonna lie - the path to holiness would be a whole lot easier if it weren't so darn prickly. But even a cactus has flowers, and so do the people and situations that get under our skin ❤️

"Secular feminism often asserts (or gives the impression) that men and women are the same, that there is no substantial difference between them. We know this to be untrue. Man and woman have “an equal personal dignity,” given to them by God (CCC 2334), and are also different. This is a good thing and must be better understood and embraced if we are to reclaim feminism in a way that truly benefits women. In fact, our Church goes so far as to say that “[t]he harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out” (CCC 2333, emphasis added)." ...

“The sexual revolution, with its fervent insistence upon contraception and abortion as the paths to women’s freedom, was not part of the original women’s movement. We must retrace our steps to see where we left the path of freedom and became enslaved to illusions.

Because what’s become popularly known as ‘feminism’ has led to so much upheaval in our society, some people want to reject the women’s movement entirely. They long to return to the ‘good old days’ when women stayed home, took sole responsibility for bringing up the children, earned no money of their own, and had little say in politics, business, arts, or the rest of the world. From a distance, the 1950s may sound idyllic and simple. But women and the world have changed far too much for us to go back again, and in any case, we must not romanticize the past. As any reasoning woman who was there will tell you, the ‘good old days’ weren’t so hot.

No, we can’t go back again. But there’s no moving forward, either, until we do the hard work of addressing the difficult questions my generation asked in the 1960s and ‘70s but failed to answer. How can a woman find her true identity? What is the connection between a woman’s work and her life? What will promote her genuine freedom and happiness? What does a woman’s personhood mean?”
