Read MoreThe Silent Gift by Michael Landon, Jr.

Read More12 Pearls of Christmas: Slow Down, Pray & Give Thanks
All Decked Out For Christmas by Maureen Lang One of the reasons so many of us love the holiday season is that it’s just so…pretty!

Read More12 Pearls of Christmas: Wondrous Mystery
Magnificat by Anna Joujan Holy. Holy. Holy is the Lord. The familiar catch of breath. The sting in the eyes. And the tears begin to flow with the falling rain. Or do the tears fall with the flowing rain. What is it in these words that I whisper that wrenches at my heart so? Why…
