Dignity USA Latest News

March 13, 2024 | by Sam Barnes | In today’s fast-paced world, we may find ourselves delaying check-ins for noncrucial issues. This week’s readings invite us to revisit the parts of us that we can let go of during the Lent if we seek to move toward our more authentic selves.
March 6, 2024 | by Catherine Buck | If one is not careful, they can read Jesus’ words to Nicodemus as if light and darkness were enemies. Today’s reflection reminds us, however, that those two realities are interdependent. We cannot fully experience one without the other. And Love is with us us—no matter light or shadows that mark our view.
March 1, 2024 | by David Friscic | Father Jan Haen has come full circle. After two previous rewarding and interesting books Heavenly Homos, Etc. and Heavenly LGBTQ+ on LQBTQIA themes, Father Haen has now written a visual autobiography that truly portrays him as a “Man for all Seasons”.
February 28, 2024 | by Ann Marie Szpakowska | Jesus offers the “woman at the well” living water but note that Jesus’ offer wells up from within her. Jesus opens us to receive what we already have! Is there a better model for how we, as disciples, are to live in the world? Through our interactions, we hope others experience just a bit more powerfully the Spirit of Love that is already at the very center of who they are.
February 26, 2024 | by David Jackson | Jesus’ transfiguration can seem like a mysterious miracle that defies explanation or relevance to our own lives. But today’s reflection reminds us that Jesus’ change is grounded in the same belovedness which is the Divine’s gift to all creation, and to each of us.
