Homilies by Cardinal Blase Cupich. Caregiving for a loved one. Nuns 4 Fun Entertainment with Vicki Quade.

Nazareth and the Hidden Life Retreat Reflection I Nazareth and the Sanctification of the Ordinary Epigraph “And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.” — St. Luke 2:51 “The Lord loves the humble soul that has surrendered herself to the will of God.” — Saint Silouan the Athonite ⸻ There is something deeply unsettling about Nazareth. Not because it is dramatic, but because it is not. The Gospels pass over nearly thirty years of Christ's earthly life in almost complete silence. We are told of His birth, the flight into Egypt, the finding in the Temple, and then suddenly He is standing in the Jordan before John. Between those moments lies an immense hiddenness. Decades vanish into silence. And yet the Church has always understood that nothing in the life of Christ is accidental. The hidden years are revelation. This is difficult for us because we are formed by a world that equates meaning with visibility. We instinctively imagine that what matters must be seen, accomplished, recognized, effective, influential, or extraordinary. Even our spiritual life often becomes infected with this mentality. We want transformation to be dramatic. We want clarity quickly. We want our lives to feel significant. But Christ spends the overwhelming majority of His earthly existence in obscurity. Not preaching. Not healing publicly. 1 Not raising the dead. Not confronting empires. Working. Praying. Eating meals. Walking dusty roads. Living within the repetition and hiddenness of ordinary life. The Son of God sanctified not only suffering and death. He sanctified ordinary existence itself. This is one of the great forgotten truths of Christianity. Many people secretly endure their lives as though the “real” spiritual life were elsewhere. They imagine holiness occurring in monasteries, missions, dramatic sacrifices, or extraordinary mystical experiences, while their own existence feels painfully repetitive: the dishes, the caregiving, the exhaustion, the office, the commute, the sleepless nights, the aging body, the hidden grief, the years that seem to pass without visible transformation. But Nazareth stands before the world as a contradiction to all such thinking. God chose hiddenness. Not as punishment. Not as delay. But as revelation. The hidden years reveal something about the very manner in which God acts. Divine life does not move according to the logic of spectacle. God works silently, patiently, gradually, often beneath visibility itself. Seeds germinate underground. The child grows in the womb unseen. Bread rises quietly. Prayer deepens imperceptibly. The kingdom of God arrives almost secretly. 2 And so much of the spiritual life unfolds precisely where the ego feels most deprived: in repetition, in obscurity, in waiting, in relinquishment, in the slow erosion of self-importance. This is why Nazareth becomes painful for us. Not because it lacks God. But because it threatens the fantasies through which we preserve ourselves psychologically. Most human beings carry within themselves an imagined life. We construct inward narratives about who we will become, what our lives will look like, how others will perceive us, what spiritual maturity will feel like, how our vocation will unfold. Often we do this unconsciously. The ego survives partly through anticipation and self-construction. But ordinary life slowly dismantles these fantasies. The years pass. Weaknesses remain. Relationships become difficult. Bodies age. Opportunities disappear. Recognition fades. The extraordinary fails to arrive. And many people quietly become resentful at precisely this point. Not necessarily resentful toward God explicitly. More often there emerges a subtle disappointment with reality itself. The ordinary begins to feel like failure. Hiddenness feels like abandonment. Repetition feels meaningless. The soul becomes restless, searching continually for intensity, novelty, affirmation, or escape. But the hidden years of Christ reveal something radically different: salvation unfolds within ordinary time. This is profoundly important because modern culture has become nearly incapable of remaining within ordinary life. We seek constant stimulation 3 because silence exposes our inner poverty. We seek visibility because hiddenness feels like nonexistence. We seek intensity because ordinary faithfulness feels insufficient to the ego. And yet the saints repeatedly tell us that God is found precisely in this hidden endurance. Saint Isaac the Syrian says that the man who has learned to endure himself has already approached the borders of humility. That phrase is extraordinarily deep because one of the great difficulties of ordinary life is that we cannot escape ourselves within it. The repetitions of daily existence expose our impatience, vanity, fantasies, irritability, loneliness, and hidden hunger for recognition. The monastery reveals this. Marriage reveals this. Caregiving reveals this. Aging reveals this. Silence reveals this. And modern people often flee immediately from such revelation. This is one reason our culture is saturated with distraction. Endless stimulation protects us temporarily from encountering the deeper movements of the heart. Noise allows us to avoid self-knowledge. Busyness protects us from stillness. Constant comparison protects us from accepting our actual lives. Nazareth dismantles all of this. The Son of God accepts limitation. He accepts hiddenness. He accepts gradualness. He accepts ordinary labor. He accepts being unknown. And perhaps most astonishingly, He remains. This may be one of the hardest spiritual acts for modern people. To remain. To remain in prayer when prayer feels dry. To remain in marriage when emotional intensity fades. To remain in caregiving when exhaustion deepens. 4 To remain faithful within obscurity. To remain present within ordinary life without fleeing continually toward fantasy or self-construction. The hidden years reveal that salvation often unfolds precisely through such remaining. Not glamorous remaining. Not emotionally triumphant remaining. Simply the quiet fidelity of continuing to offer oneself to God within the actual conditions of one's life. This does not mean passivity or fatalism. Nazareth is not an excuse for fear or avoidance. Christ eventually leaves Nazareth and enters public ministry. But He does so only after decades hidden within ordinary existence. The hidden life was not wasted time before the “real mission.” It was itself part of the revelation. And perhaps this is what many souls most need to hear today: your hidden life is not invisible to God. The years that seem uneventful. The labor no one notices. The prayers said distractedly but faithfully. The meals prepared. The tears shed privately. The humiliations endured quietly. The long stretches where nothing seems to happen spiritually. None of this is outside salvation. Christ has entered all of it. Indeed, He chose to spend most of His earthly life there. The fathers understood this more deeply than we often realize. The desert was never merely geographical. It was existential. The monk enters hiddenness not to become extraordinary, but to become truthful. Gradually the false self built upon recognition, performance, fantasy, and comparison begins to weaken. A different kind of life slowly emerges: simpler, poorer, more real, 5 less dependent upon being seen. This is why hiddenness feels simultaneously painful and liberating. Painful because the ego experiences obscurity as diminishment. Liberating because the soul gradually discovers it no longer needs to construct itself continually before others. Nazareth teaches us this freedom. The hidden Christ reveals the holiness of ordinary existence lived in communion with the Father. And perhaps holiness itself is far quieter than we imagine. Perhaps sanctity often looks less like dramatic accomplishment and more like: patience, presence, forgiveness, hidden prayer, remaining, and consenting slowly to the life actually given to us. Nazareth teaches us that salvation enters the world silently. And it teaches us that the ordinary moments we are most tempted to overlook may become precisely the places where Christ is forming His life within us. 6

Send us Fan MailCaregiving can dismantle the easy answers you used to lean on and leave you with a faith that feels raw, quiet, and intensely personal. I'm talking about the kind of faith that shows up in sleepless nights, in hospital rooms, and at the kitchen table with paperwork spread out, when you realize you do not have the strength to carry everything you're carrying.We walk through five ways caregiving reshapes faith for family caregivers, especially those navigating Alzheimer's and dementia care: trust moving from theory to reality, prayer becoming shorter and more honest, hard questions revealing what we really believe, dependence on God replacing the pressure to be endlessly strong, and love expanding into patient, costly compassion. We also ground these insights in Scripture, including Proverbs 3:5–6, Romans 8:26, Psalm 13, and the promise that grace is sufficient in weakness.If your spiritual life feels different right now, I want you to hear this clearly: different does not mean failed. Sometimes faith looks like whispering “Lord, help me,” taking the next right step, receiving support from others, and living on daily grace instead of trying to solve the next five years. I'll leave you with reflection questions to help you name what this season is teaching you and where God may be inviting you to trust Him today.If you know a caregiver who feels alone or worn down, share this with them.

Some seasons of love require us to show up even when we are tired, overwhelmed, and grieving before the goodbye ever comes.In this heartfelt episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, host Wayna Berry sits down with her mother, Laverne Hill, for a deeply personal conversation about caregiving, dementia, family responsibility, faith, and the emotional weight of caring for someone through their final chapter.Laverne shares her experience working in caregiving for over 10 years, helping families assess needs, navigate support services, and understand what it takes to care for elderly parents, dependent adults, and loved ones who can no longer fully care for themselves. She also opens up about her own family journey — caring for her father, supporting her mother through dementia, making the difficult decision to place her mother in a nursing facility, and learning how to keep going when caregiving felt physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting.This episode speaks directly to caregivers who are tired, adult children facing hard decisions, families navigating dementia, and anyone carrying the complicated grief that can come before loss.If you are caring for someone you love, this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone, support is available, and doing your best with love still matters.Memorable QuotesLaverne Hill: “You don't want to just talk around them. You don't want to forget them. This is their journey.”Laverne Hill: “Caregiving can be overwhelming. Sometimes families can do so much, and they do need extra help.”Laverne Hill: “You need a worker who has this heart for people, who really wants to make sure that people are okay.”Laverne Hill: “She wasn't just a client. I want the family to know that she wasn't just a number for us.”Laverne Hill: “You just have to stop, breathe, and remember why you're here.”Laverne Hill: “These are her golden years. I'm going to make sure they're golden.”Laverne Hill: “You can't help anybody when you're broken.”Laverne Hill: “Long as you're doing the best that you could do for your person that you love, you are blessed.”Wayna Berry: “Share this with somebody who's in this season.”Wayna Berry: “We're still growing until the Lord calls us home.”Topics Discussed● Assessing care needs, diagnoses, home safety, and family support● Caring for aging parents and dependent loved ones● Dementia, memory loss, and moments of clarity● The emotional and physical strain of caregiving● Making the difficult decision to choose nursing home care● Finding strength through faith, prayer, and community● Caregiving requires love, patience, support, and practical resources.● Asking for help is not a sign of failure.● Every person receiving care deserves dignity and a voice.● Nursing home care can sometimes be the safest, most loving choice.● Caregivers must also protect their own well-being.Key Takeaways● Caregiving requires love, patience, support, and practical resources.● Asking for help is not a sign of failure.● Every person receiving care deserves dignity and a voice.● Nursing home care can sometimes be the safest, most loving choice.● Caregivers must also protect their own well-being.

What happens when your child has violent outbursts, or acts out violently? What if that child seems unable to control their emotions or their behavior? The truth is, there are very few resources to help parents in this situation. Journalist Julie Brenner Davich spoke to some parents struggling with this issue for her New York Magazine piece "The Quiet Shame of Fearing Your Own Child." She explains her reporting, and listeners share their own experiences.  Stock image from SolStock/iStock via Getty Creative Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Resentment is not unresolved anger toward another person. It is the rage of the abandoned self toward the survival persona that did the abandoning. Every line item on the receipt is a moment you said yes when your body said no.This video walks through the real psychology behind resentment and why you have been handing the bill to the wrong person. If you are the over-functioning partner who has done everything and still feels invisible, this names the self-abandonment wound running underneath every silent yes.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps resentment to the survival persona, the disempowered codependent, projection, and the caretaking versus caregiving distinction.Resentment is rarely about the other person. It is the body's accounting system, a precise record of every moment a person abandoned themselves to keep the peace. Childhood taught the brilliant child that anger was a weapon used against them or something to be swallowed.The disempowered survival persona will not let a person direct anger inward. So it moves the rage one seat over and projects it onto the partner. Being angry at the partner feels survivable. Being angry at the self who keeps saying yes does not.Caretaking and caregiving are not the same. Caretaking carries an invisible invoice the partner never agreed to pay. The caretaker gives from emptiness and keeps a quiet score. Caregiving gives from wholeness and does not need a receipt.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses resentment at the blueprint level. Its six steps trace the feeling from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the silent martyr role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He is the author of Your Journey To Success and Your Journey To Being Yourself.TOPICS COVERED: resentment, resentment in marriage, how to let go of resentment, resentment in relationships, self-abandonment, codependence, over-functioning partner, caretaking versus caregiving, invisible invoice, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny Weiss, survival persona, projection0:00 — Why You Are Sending the Bill to the Wrong Person1:45 — The Clients Who Said I Have Done Everything3:30 — Resentment Is Anger That Was Never Allowed6:00 — Why Five Out of Ten Irritation Becomes a Hundred8:30 — The Worst Day Cycle Playing Out as Resentment11:00 — Projection Is Always a Confession13:00 — Why Couples Therapy Cannot Reach This14:30 — The Authentic Self Cycle Inside Resentment17:00 — The Emotional Authenticity Method as the Receipt Burn20:00 — Identity Close

All Home Care Maters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Roy Remer as guest to the show.   About Roy Remer:   Roy Remer is the author of Zen Caregiving: How to Care for Yourself While Caring for Others. An educator and end-of-life caregiver since 1997, he is executive director of Zen Caregiving Project in San Francisco and lead creator of the Mindful Caregiving Education curriculum.   A dedicated practitioner in the Soto Zen tradition, Remer is a student at San Francisco Zen Center.     About the Zen Caregiving Project:   Formerly Known as Zen Hospice Project was founded in 1986 to address suffering in San Francisco. Rooted in Zen Buddhist tradition, we began training volunteer caregivers to serve dying residents at two sites of service.   Their world renowned volunteer caregiver training has evolved to become the foundation of our Mindful Caregiver Education, which we teach nationally. In 2015, we began taking our unique approach to care out into the world in order to allow caregivers anywhere to benefit from our course offerings.

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming, emotional and often confusing.  In this episode, Jenny D interviews Gina Iuliucci about Alzheimer's and other dementias—what they are, how they differ from normal aging, common early signs, risk factors, testing and emerging treatments, and why early diagnosis matters. Gina felt called with her experience to make a greater impact by creating a company dedicated to meeting caregivers where they are — offering clarity, support, and practical strategies during one of the most difficult journeys a family can face. At Dementia Care Solutions, her mission is simple: to empower caregivers with knowledge, reduce the sense of isolation, and provide hope and confidence in caring for someone living with dementia. The episode focuses on practical support for caregivers: communication strategies, resources, support groups, music therapy benefits, and Gina's Dementia Care Solutions consulting and training services to help families navigate diagnosis and daily care. https://dementia-care-solutions.com/ June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month and I would like to thank my Spotlight Supporters.

Tom Sleigh is the author of "Rosie: A Memoir of Farewell." He joins WBUR's All Things Considered to share how his role as a "death caregiver" still haunts him.

What if the most loving thing you could do for someone is start a conversation you've been avoiding?In this episode, Michael Reddington sits down with Cory Fosco, a 34-year veteran of the eldercare and healthcare technology industries, author of The Question of When, creative writing teacher, and VP of Enterprise Sales. Cory brings a rare combination of frontline caregiving experience, social work roots, and sales leadership perspective to one of the most universally avoided topics in family life: planning for the care of aging loved ones before a crisis forces your hand.This conversation goes far beyond eldercare. Cory unpacks why denial and guilt keep families frozen, how the fear of messing up drives worse decisions than the fear of missing out, and why having a conversation is fundamentally different from making a decision. The parallels to sales, leadership, and any high-stakes relationship are impossible to miss.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy waiting for the "right time" to have a care conversation is itself the mistakeHow families that do the homework in advance make better decisions under crisis pressureThe difference between "fear of missing out" and "fear of messing up" and how it shows up in caregiving and salesWhy expressing love through preparation changes how families approach difficult conversationsHow having a conversation and making a decision are not the same thing -- and why that distinction mattersWhat the "When Readiness Checklist" is and how to use it to assess where your family standsWhy "it's better to do right than to be right" applies equally to caregiving, leadership, and salesHow to give people around you permission to make mistakes by modeling it yourselfChapters(00:00) Introduction to Cory Fosco and A Question of When(05:05) Why Families Wait Too Long to Have the Conversation(07:28) How We Compensate and Make Excuses for Loved Ones(10:57) How to Optimize Preparation Time and Remove Stress From Big Decisions(14:18) The Fear of Messing Up and How to Take the Risk Off the Table(24:00) Listening as the Foundation of Caregiving, Sales, and Leadership(27:39) Why It's Better to Do Right Than to Be Right(33:13) How the Book Is Structured to Meet Families Where They Are(50:21) Core Principles for Navigating Difficult Family Conversations(52:31) How to Find Cory and Access His ResourcesAbout the GuestCory Fosco has spent over 34 years working at the intersection of long-term care, healthcare technology, and family decision-making.

In this moving episode of In the Telling (Season 5, Episode 41), Constance “Connie” Gross—born in Harlem in 1937 and now approaching 89—reflects on a life shaped by intuition, reinvention, caregiving, and community. With warmth, candor, and humor, she recalls growing up in Harlem during the 1940s, where Black families built rich and meaningful lives despite the realities of segregation. Her memories of strong parenting, neighborhood care, and community accountability reveal the foundations of her independent spirit.Connie also shares the deeply personal story of her move to Rochester, New York, in 1982. Following what she describes as an undeniable inner knowing that her life was about to change, she left New York City and began a new chapter as an entrepreneur, creating businesses that served local residents and small businesses during Rochester's industrial era.At the heart of the conversation is Connie's experience caring for her mother through Alzheimer's disease and, years later, confronting memory changes of her own. She reflects on the challenges of caregiving, the grief of losing her mother long before her death, and the realities of adapting to changes in her own memory. With remarkable honesty and grace, Connie speaks about acceptance, resilience, and the everyday practices that help her continue living fully and with purpose.

In this Q&A episode, Allie, Emily, and Ellen tackle the questions they hear most often from clients, mentees, and the internet: Should I get another pet? How do I treat my pets fairly when they all need different things? And how do I actually bring a new animal home in a way that sets everyone up for success?Of course, in true Q&A fashion, we may meander a bit (look, we are who we are

Today's guest is an extraordinary artist whose work feels deeply lived rather than simply made. Alexis Soul-Gray is a British painter exploring memory, loss, and maternal lineage through richly layered works that move between abstraction and figuration. Based in Devon, her paintings feel both intimate and expansive. A graduate of the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, Alexis has exhibited internationally, received two Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grants, and won The Delphian Open in 2021. Alongside her studio practice, she also curates' exhibitions, including Declarative Language, a group show bringing together women artists whose practices have been shaped by caregiving within neurodivergent families. We talk about art school, grief, motherhood, caregiving, advocacy, and the challenge of continuing to make work that stays true to lived experience rather than outside expectation. Exploring the realities of artistic identity alongside financial pressure, loss, and resilience. What unfolds is an honest and deeply human conversation about endurance, creativity, and what it takes to keep going when life refuses to move in a straight line. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you've carried grief and caring responsibilities for years, the work you make in the margins is not “less than” - it's work that has learned to hold chaos, fatigue, school refusal, and hospital letters in the same frame as colour, gesture, and form. You don't need a clean, linear career to be an artist; you need a stubborn thread. The years of bad jobs, failed applications, family rupture, and self-doubt don't sit outside the practice - they deepen it. The culture will always reward tidy, repeatable pictures, but painting is something else: a willingness not to know the outcome in advance, to refuse being a production line for your own style, to risk disappointing people who only came for the last hit.  BEST MOMENTS “I just couldn't really see that my practice would ever become a full-time pursuit for me. It was very much the kitchen table … snatched moments.” “A creative life is not built in perfect conditions, it's built in real ones… sometimes the most important thing is not how quickly you move forward, but that you keep returning to the work.” “There is no neat formula here. No single turning point where everything suddenly resolves. Instead, what we hear is a gradual return.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/Alexis_soul_gray HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

In this episode, I sat down with Camille Joy, founder of the Moments of Joy Podcast and author of Moments of Joy: 90 Days of Encouragement, published by Penguin Random House. Camille is a trafficking survivor who escaped an abusive situation at 21, became a high school dropout turned executive chef, and fought her way into a six-figure salary by going directly to the CEO. When her youngest son Mason was diagnosed with autism, everything shifted again, and a raw, tear-filled video she recorded in her car after a difficult doctor visit went viral with over six million views in 2022.Today Camille runs two businesses: Moments of Joy, her for-profit media brand built on brand deals, speaking, and her book, and Awesomely Different, her nonprofit that provides swimming lesson grants for children with autism. She also shares how she and her filmmaker husband manage it all without a village, and what it really took to land Holly Robinson Peete as a podcast guest after five attempts over several years.Main TakeawaysYour test is your testimony: Camille's openness about trafficking, autism, and grief is what built her audience and her business.Tackle the shame first: Before you can turn your story into impact, you have to get comfortable sharing what you have been through.Serve before you ask: Camille landed Holly Robinson Peete as a guest by consistently showing up in her community, buying her book, attending her events, and reaching out five times before getting a yes.Caregiving and entrepreneurship can coexist: Camille and her husband run two businesses while raising Mason by communicating constantly, sharing schedules, and giving each other permission to pursue their goals.Highlights Include00:46 - Camille shares what life looked like before the Moments of Joy Podcast existed01:45 - Mason's birth story and three heart surgeries in 18 months02:42 - Receiving Mason's autism diagnosis and how it changed everything04:40 - Camille reveals she is a trafficking survivor and how she escaped at 2106:06 - How a stranger saying her name out loud was the sign she needed to go to culinary school09:14 - Fighting for the executive chef title at ConAir Corporation by CC'ing the CEO11:13 - Going to the CEO directly to demand her six-figure salary and getting it on the spot23:22 - The viral reel that changed everything: 6 to 7 million views after a tearful moment in the car27:06 - Launching Awesomely Different, her nonprofit that teaches children with autism to swim31:52 - Signing with Penguin Random House and the reality of first-round edits38:45 - How Camille and her husband manage two businesses and Mason's care without a traditional village46:01 - Why tackling shame is the first step to turning your test into a testimony52:03 - The strategy behind landing Holly Robinson Peete and why she reached out five times56:17 - Lightning round: resources, role models, daily non-negotiables, and parting adviceLinks Mentioned in This EpisodePodcorn (early podcast sponsorship platform): https://podcorn.comMoments of Joy Podcast: https://www.mojpodcast.com/ Watch & ListenSide Hustle Pro Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tSide Hustle Pro Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaInstagram: @momentsofjoypodcastTikTok: @momentsofjoypodcast Hosted on Acast.
