“Anyone who fails to go forward begins to go back, and love, I believe, can never be content to stay for long where it is.” —St. Teresa of Avila

Author: Erin

Erin is a writer, editor, cradle Catholic, and incurable daydreamer. By day she works in book publishing; by night she teaches catechism to middle schoolers, volunteers with the Sisters of Life, watches every video of the Notre Dame marching band in existence, and becomes way too invested in March Madness. She has been involved with the Frassati Fellowship since moving to NYC in 2014.

Frassati Reflection: Our Daily Bread

Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal. —John 6:27 Today we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, which is a reminder that our daily work is… Read More Frassati Reflection: Our Daily Bread

7 Quick Takes: Books, Basketball, and Bacon Friday

Linking up with Kelly. —1— I went to see Meg Hunter-Kilmer speak at a Theology on Tap event in March. She gave an excellent talk about having radical trust in God. It was great to meet her in person—I found out we lived in the same dorm at Notre Dame, just a few years apart! —2— I… Read More 7 Quick Takes: Books, Basketball, and Bacon Friday

Frassati Reflection: The Communal Life

They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions… Read More Frassati Reflection: The Communal Life

Frassati Reflection: The Empty Tomb

In today’s Gospel, we see two responses to Jesus’s resurrection. The two Marys, following Jesus’s instruction, go forth to spread the message of His rising from the dead to the disciples. The soldiers, on the other hand, following the instruction and bribes of the chief priests and elders, go forth and spread the story that… Read More Frassati Reflection: The Empty Tomb

Frassati Reflection: Drawing Closer

Expanding on last year’s reflection: Mary, on the other hand, understood that loving Jesus and loving the poor were not mutually exclusive, that only by drawing close to Him, serving Him, pouring herself out to Him, and allowing herself to be loved by Him could she learn how to love and serve others. She understood… Read More Frassati Reflection: Drawing Closer

Frassati Reflection: The Pain of Susanna

The assembly condemned Susanna to death. But Susanna cried aloud: “O eternal God, you know what is hidden and are aware of all things before they come to be: you know that they have testified falsely against me. Here I am about to die, though I have done none of the things with which these… Read More Frassati Reflection: The Pain of Susanna

Frassati Reflection: Everyday Miracles

At that time Jesus left [Samaria] for Galilee. For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place. When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast. Then he returned… Read More Frassati Reflection: Everyday Miracles

Frassati Reflection: Good St. Joseph

If people know what they must do today and commit themselves to doing it and leave tomorrow to God’s providence, all is well. What more can anyone do? Take the step that needs taking today. Take another step tomorrow. Every day will have its own steps to take. —Fr. Jacques Philippe St. Joseph’s life was… Read More Frassati Reflection: Good St. Joseph

Frassati Reflection: The Balm of Mercy

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured… Read More Frassati Reflection: The Balm of Mercy
