It's a side of Joe Biden the public rarely sees. Friends who've endured lengthy car rides with him or joined in his impromptu huddles after mass know that chewing over the ins and outs of religious thought is a time-honored pastime for the country's second Catholic President. That interest spilled into public view the morning after news broke about a draft Supreme Court ruling that would eliminate nationwide abortion protections under Roe v. Wade.

Fr. Mike talks about the horrible things that can happen when we turn away from God and stop asking him "what's the next step?" In today's readings we see David humbled and humiliated, Absalom revealing how devastating sin is, and the evil that comes from war. Today's readings are 2 Samuel 16, 1 Chronicles 21, and Psalm 15.

The first and best practical tip I can give you for creating a happy home and a joyful motherhood is to commit to daily prayer.

Does it ever seem like life just kind of happens to you? You log onto Instagram or look around at the women in your small group or in the pew beside you at church and it just seems like everyone else figured it out. Meanwhile, you're in the dark, wondering how people do it all, how some people have this adulting thing down. What's their secret?
