The Rosary Is Not a Background Prayer
The Rosary is not a background prayer. It is not a string of beads you keep in a drawer for emergencies. It is not a Catholic version of a short verse you can scroll past and still claim you prayed. The Rosary is a full way of walking through the life of Jesus with Mary. Each decade asks you to stay with one scene long enough for the story to do its work. That is why it still teaches the Gospel better than a line on a screen.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT:
If we're going to demand respect, accountability, and equality, shouldn't those rules apply to everyone? Or does equality only count when it benefits us?

What Nine People Taught Me About Money in One Night
At two in the morning, in front of a convenience store counter, a man puts a pack of cigarettes back and takes two steamed buns instead. The cashier scans the barcode. Beep. He checks his pocket. Not enough coins. He puts one bun back. The cashier says nothing, pushes the other bun toward him. The man says, “I’ll pay you back tomorrow.” The cashier says, “No need.” He stands by the door and eats. The wind blows the plastic bag up into the tree.

The Day Humanity Broke the Malthusian Trap
In 1700, a farmer in the English Midlands had traveled no farther than 20 miles to a market in his entire life. He had seen no more than a few hundred people. He ate almost everything from his own village. He lit his evenings with tallow candles. He got his news from church sermons and tavern talk. In 2024, a middle school student in Shanghai uses a phone to check copper prices in New York, opens a University of London lecture, and eats Chilean cherries and Norwegian salmon for dinner. The difference is not in the brain. People of the two eras are almost genetically identical. The difference is in the system.

When “Nothing Matters”
Nothing matters. I can almost guarantee we’ve all felt this way at a time, from an existential thought that spirals into deep-seated dread of life and all the pain, loss, anger, and unknowing it holds.

No Place For Hate
When I came to work on Monday earlier this week a coworker of mine came up to me and a group of other cohorts and said “so apparently some neo nazis held a rally this weekend.” Most of our responses varied around the realm of “oh really?” Then he preceded to show us a video that a friend of his who was an anti protester against this white supremacist group has sent him when he counter protested against them that day.

Unpacking More Than Boxes
The blank page has been staring back at me for days , heavy with everything I haven't known how to say. Every time I sit down in front of a fresh document or open a notebook, the cursor just blinks—a steady, rhythmic pulse that feels less like an invitation and more like an accusation. The words are there, somewhere beneath the surface, but they feel jammed behind a fortress of moving boxes, logistical chaos, and the lingering residue of a life transition that took far more out of me than I ever anticipated. It is a frustrating, heavy kind of silence. It’s the kind of silence where your mind is screaming with a thousand different thoughts, memories, and unspoken grievances, yet your hands freeze the moment your fingers hover over the keys.
