-from the desire to cook dinner with both hands

Jesus, give me the grace to desire it:
-that I may be more patient during the next tantrum
-that I may have a servant's heart as I clean up spilled milk for the 100th time
-that I may respond lovingly when I am interrupted
-that I may not groan as I roll out of bed at 3am
-that my little sufferings will be united to yours for the redemption of souls in my family and all over the world
-that my family will become holier than me as long as I become as holy as I should.

Throwback Thursday to one of my most popular episodes, The Honest Answer: My Interview with Napro Physician and Fertility Specialist, Dr Stroud. In this episode I interview Napro physician and fellow Catholic convert, Dr Stroud. Dr Stroud is an OB/GYN who dramatically changed his medical practice in order to hold true to his Catholic faith. During the interview, Dr Stroud speaks on how traditional OB/GYN differs from Napro care. We discuss a wide range of topics from the causes of miscarriages, contraception, infertility treatments, and ectopic pregnancies. Dr. Stroud's answers provide hope to families who have felt the pain of infertility or pregnancy loss, and he empowers women to receive better care.

Thomas MertonMy Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though
I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.“The Merton Prayer” from Thoughts in Solitude
