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.
February 26, 2024 | by Jon Schum | Too often Christians approach Lent as just another in a long list of things we are supposed to do. Today’s reflection, however, encourages us to see Lent as an invitation to deeper participation in the Reign of God: a reality not defined by long lists of life-choking demands, but rather by transcendent moments of life-changing beauty.

Sr. Jeannine also recounts her run-in with Cardinal Ratzinger and discusses her hopes for LGBTQIA+ people and the Catholic Church.
We will also be joined by Sr. Jeannine herself, who will share a few words about all that has taken place since the recording in May 2023, including her meeting with Pope Francis and the Vatican’s announcement in late 2023 about blessing same-sex unions. Registration is required.
