Here is the latest addition to the Connections Between Faith and Daily Life series on the Say Yes to Holiness YouTube channel. I recorded and released this video a couple of days ago on YouTube, but then neglected to let the Say Yes to Holiness community know! You might understand why once you watch Finding Peace Amidst the Chaos.

Here is the latest addition to the Connections Between Faith and Daily Life series on the Say Yes to Holiness YouTube channel! This week, Christina shares about How To Transform Your Pain and Suffering According to the Mandalorian (and Jesus!) . This is a subject that consistently is being raised in our world, but especially now in the midst of the COVID pandemic. This also shares a little bit of one of my favorite pastimes–to see and hear the “seeds of the Word” (thanks, Bishop Barron for the phrase!) in popular culture, and then to allow those seeds to inspire, […]

Here is the latest addition to the Connections Between Faith and Daily Life series on the Say Yes to Holiness YouTube channel! This week, Christina shares about the 4 Secrets to Change Your Life Forever, as a response to many people who were inquiring as to what steps could be taken in order to bring about transformation in their lives. This video is a bit longer than the usual 10 minutes, but it’s well worth it, especially as Christina shares a special invitation about the Camino at the end of the video. This conversation came about as a way to […]

This topic is an outgrowth of the discussion happening right now in the Say Yes to Holiness Today 40 Day Challenge (see flyer below) that is occuring now until September 8th. You can join the Say Yes to Holiness Today […]
I have noticed a disturbing trend that has been emerging in the last few weeks, and that’s the trend of putting things off. I am hearing. A lot of statements that begin with “Once I get this done” or “After I…” or “When I do this, then…” That sound familiar to you, too?
