This Sunday is the Solemnity of Christ the King, and Denise helps prepare us by meditating on what good kinship is and how it can be a powerful force to keep fighting the numerous daily battles, large or small.

As we open our homes to guests this holiday season, the Holy Spirit can bring peace to what might otherwise be stressful or fraught. Here are several ways to invoke his presence as we host people in our homes.

A remarkable look at the power of marriage through the lives of the remarkable women who preceded Denise, and their connection to St. Elizabeth of Hungary, a Queen with true poverty of spirit.

Read of the life of this saint and martyr who inspired St. Therese greatly in her own path to sanctity. She includes a poignant quote from a letter he wrote tenderly to his little sister.

A beautiful and personal reflection from Denise on the power of true charity to unite people. St. Martin de Porres, pray for us!

Emily considers the community of the saints in light of the influence of the company we keep.

Denise shares her experience cultivating an atmosphere of creativity and beauty in the home. Small things like having books on hand and modeling the enjoyment of them can go a long way!
