Living liturgically isn’t about adding one more thing to an already busy life. It’s about allowing the rhythm of the Church to slowly reshape the life you’re already living.

Season after season. Mass after Mass. Small practices that take root and bear fruit in our homes, our families, and our hearts.

Start simple. Notice the season. Learn its color. Bring one small piece of it into your home. Let the Church’s calendar begin to shape your own.

That’s what Living Liturgically is all about: receiving time through the life of the Church.

I can make time for almost anyone who needs me. Making time for a friend I miss is harder to explain. Somewhere on the trail, listening to his familiar laugh, I realized how long I had been willing to go without it.

I saw the question while scrolling past the usual digital parade of cats in sinks, recipes I will never make, weather emergencies in states I do not live in, and people who apparently own sixteen matching beige storage baskets. Social media, what a treasure. Which way does a tree grow? Up, I tho

I really like Dostoevsky. I am a bit of a geek that way. And there is a question Dostoevsky slips beneath the door of the human heart, and it is still there when we wake up: Do we really want to be free? I mean really free, not free to choose among fifteen shampoos or ninety-seven streaming shows
