  • Read more about Gratitude, abundance and enoughness

Gratitude can call us back to our values. When we gather this week, do we give thanks for material goods, privilege, or power? Generally, no. We give thanks for opportunities received, love shown, relationships grown. We may give thanks for material "enoughness," but probably not for excess. This tells us something.

  • Read more about Lay missioners motivated by chance to serve, live simply, find challenge

Maryknoll Lay Missioners celebrated its 40th anniversary in August. It began as a collaborative effort of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers and Maryknoll Sisters, but became a separate organization in 1994. Since 1975, more than 700 Catholics have served as Maryknoll lay missioners in Africa, Asia and the Americas. The current class ranges in age from 23 to 60 and reflects the organization's historical composition of single men and women, couples and families.

This story appears in the Notes from the Field feature series. View the full series.

Notes from the Field - Every little thing that these children think or do has an impact in their life. I like to think they are building a house, and I'm there to guide them. To build the house, you must start from the bottom and work your way up. My students are just beginning to install the bricks.

  • Read more about My Thanksgiving prayer

The other day, I had occasion to find my mother's holy card, the kind that funeral parlors provide to those who attend wakes and funerals to comfort the family. The card dragged up a flood of memories and regrets, but little comfort.

  • Read more about GSR: Platform for a voice previously unheard

GSR Today - Journalists like to talk to academic experts because academic experts are smart. However, journalists have a tendency to rely too much on these academic experts. The thing is, people have a right to speak for themselves.

  • Read more about A matter of choice: Leaning into the energy of the Resurrection in dark times

What kind of energy are we putting into the universal web of life in our sphere of influence even as world leaders struggle with what to do about ISIS? Does it mimic in even a small way the energy of ISIS? Or is it an energy which creates space for new possibilities?
