When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea ….” Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the Child, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship Him.” (Matthew 2:3-5a, 7-8)

Estrangement from your child… what a painful way to begin the new year.  . When Christmas fades into memory and the hush of a new year settles in, you might find yourself replaying moments from the past — details of the estrangement, what you wish could change, words spoken… or things left unsaid.  . You wonder if this year will be more of the same from the year before. Will your estranged child come back this year? Will you hear the laughter of your grandchildren?

Friends of the Rosary,Happy New Year!Today, January 1st, a holy day of obligation in the U.S., we begin the year 2026 by celebrating the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, our Lady's greatest title.The Virgin Mary was born to be the Divine Mother and give birth to the Savior. Through her, we receive adoption and enjoy a new life of grace.In adoring the Son of God made flesh in the Child of Bethlehem, we recognize that Mary is the Mother of God.The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 721, states:"Mary, the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God, is the masterwork of the mission of the Son and the Spirit in the fullness of time. For the first time in the plan of salvation and because his Spirit had prepared her, the Father found the dwelling place where his Son and his Spirit could dwell among men. In this sense, the Church's Tradition has often read the most beautiful texts on wisdom in relation to Mary. Mary is acclaimed and represented in the liturgy as the "Seat of Wisdom."Also, on the first day of the year, we gain a plenary indulgence by reciting or singing the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus. This hymn calling on the Holy Spirit is traditionally sung for the beginnings of new endeavors.Today is also the World Day of Peace.Ave MariaCome, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Grief doesn't run on a schedule, and kids feel that truth in their bones. We sit down with author and grief group facilitator Ta'Shay Mason to unpack how children experience loss, why feelings often arrive in waves, and what adults can do to create safety without forcing conversation. From a mother's steady persistence to the surprising comfort of equine-assisted activities, Ta'Shay shares practical ways to help kids express themselves when words feel too heavy.You'll hear about a powerful memorial option many families don't know exists: eco-friendly reef balls that incorporate a loved one's ashes and become a living habitat for marine life. Families decorate the form together with handprints, shells, and ribbons, then watch it lowered into the sea and receive coordinates to visit later. This ritual turns goodbye into a shared act of care for the ocean, giving children something tangible, creative, and hopeful to hold onto. We also talk about common dynamics like anger, magical thinking, and memory gaps, and how to normalize them with honest language and gentle choices.Ta'Shay walks us through her series A Child's Journey Through Grief, where a nine-year-old learns to say goodbye, finds connection in group therapy, and builds new traditions for birthdays and recitals. The core takeaway: don't push kids to “move on.” Help them move forward—one story, one photo, one small tradition at a time. If you're supporting a child or navigating your own loss, you'll leave with grounded strategies, fresh ideas for memorials, and a kinder framework for the long road of remembrance.If this conversation helped you, subscribe, share it with someone who's grieving, and leave a review so more families can find these tools.Here's Ta'Shay's website: https://tashay-mason.com/booksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

To weary hearts and watching shepherds, God announced good news of great joy—not judgment, not demand, but grace made flesh. Peace did not come through power, but through a Child laid in a manger.“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”— Luke 2:11 (ESV)This past week, we rejoiced in the saving message:Christ has come.Peace has been offered.Glory belongs to God alone.Join us Sundays at 9:00 & 11:00

Read OnlineThe shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Luke 2:16–19 At the birth of Christ, the Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart was full of love and grace, so full that it overflowed in superabundance. Her human heart could not contain all that consumed it. Seeing her Child, having Saint Joseph near, and being accompanied by God's creatures within that sacred cave near Bethlehem was all that she needed for her complete fulfillment. But God gave her even more.As that holy night unfolded, an angel of the Lord appeared to the poor shepherds tending their flocks in the fields. The angel announced “good news of great joy that will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10). The angel went on to declare, “Today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:11–12). Then, a multitude of heavenly hosts appeared, glorifying God with their song of praise.Such an experience compelled these lowly shepherds to immediately seek out this newborn Messiah. When they found Him, they revealed to our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph what the angel had said to them, and “Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart” (Luke 2:19). It is this Immaculate Heart and the motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary that we celebrate today.Because Mary's Immaculate Heart was overflowing with love and grace, these humble shepherds gave her the opportunity to share that love and grace. While they blessed her and Saint Joseph by their presence and adoration, she blessed them even more by being an instrument and mediatrix of God's love through her newborn Son.Mary was not only the mother of the flesh of her Son, but the mother of the Person Who is the Son of God. For this reason, the Church, in Her wisdom, has ascribed to her the title, “Mother of God.” Jesus was her Son, and Jesus is God. Therefore, she is rightly honored as the Mother of God.As the Mother of God, Mary's Immaculate Heart continues to overflow with love and grace. Just as she did with the shepherds on that first Christmas night, her heart continues to pour forth all that it contains upon us, her spiritual sons and daughters. The extent to which we are members of Christ's Body, the Church, is the extent to which the Blessed Mother's motherhood is active in our lives, just as it was in the life of her Son and as it touched the lives of the shepherds. Reflect today on this glorious title given to Jesus' mother—the Mother of God. As you do, ponder the role she plays in your life and in the life of the entire Church. By giving birth to the Messiah, the Son of God, she gave birth to the Church, becoming mother and mediatrix to us all. Seek her intercession, mediation, and motherhood, knowing that doing so not only honors her Son, but also cooperates with His divine plan of salvation. Most glorious Mother of God, your Immaculate Heart is overflowing with love and the fullness of grace. Your love for all of God's children compels you to share that grace with all who come to you and your divine Son. Please count me among your children and lavish upon me all that is contained in your pondering heart of pure love and grace. Mother of God, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Luke 2:22-35 – When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to Him, he took Him into his arms and blessed God, saying: “Lord, now let your servant go in peace; Your word has been fulfilled: my own eyes have seen the salvation which You prepared in the sight of every people, a light to reveal You to the nations and the glory of Your people Israel.” The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about Him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Memorial of Saint Thomas Becket, Bishop and Martyr Saint Thomas, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry discusses the true meaning of the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas

Child care centers in Minnesota are in limbo, after President Donald Trump's administration announced it is freezing federal child care funds to the state. The decision stems from a YouTube creator, Nick Shirley, who visited daycares run by Somali Minnesotans, alleging that they are acting fraudulently. State officials say they are looking into the allegations but so far haven't substantiated the fraud claims. And Governor Tim Walz, pushed back on the move saying that Trump is “politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.” Maria Snider is the director of Rainbow Child Development Center in St. Paul and also the vice president of the Minnesota Childcare Association. She joined Minnesota Now to share how the federal reimbursement process works and the impact of the freeze.

With special guest: Peter FitzSimons… in conversation with Bill Kable The title tells it all in the latest book by Peter FitzSimons whom we are excited to welcome back to Dads on the Air. In The Incredible Life of Hubert Wilkins we hear about the life of a genuine Australian hero with so many adventures that a fraction of them would seem to fill the quota to qualify for that description. This man was decorated in World War 1 while not a combatant, described by another hero, Monash, as the bravest man he had ever had under his command, and yet few Australians had heard of him prior to the release of this book by our guest.

It’s been almost a decade since Stranger Things first dropped us into the town of Hawkins - and today, the final episode of the series lands, closing out one of the most influential TV shows of the past ten years. But behind the monsters, secret labs and psychic experiments is a lesser-known origin story: a conspiracy theory tied to a place called Montauk in New York. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Christopher Garetano - researcher and filmmaker behind the 2014 documentary ‘Montauk Chronicles’ about how fact, fiction and conspiracy collided to create a global pop-culture phenomenon.

Why would kings tremble before a baby? In this Christmas-season sermon, Rev. David Buchs reflects on King Herod's fear of the Christ Child and what it reveals about power, idolatry, and the kind of King Jesus truly is. What the world sees as weakness and loss, God transforms into victory, life, and redemption.Sunday Worship – The Feast of the Holy InnocentsDecember 28, 2025 | Grace Lutheran Church | Little Rock, ArkansasPreached by Rev. David BuchsKey themes and takeaways: • Why the world fears children—and what that fear exposes about what we worship • Herod, Pharaoh, and the tragic logic of clinging to power • Christ's true throne: not political might, but the cross • The hope of the Holy Innocents and the Christian promise that death is not the end#GraceLutheranLittleRock #LittleRockChurch #ArkansasFaith #LutheranSermon #ChristianPodcast #ChristmasSermon #JesusChrist #ChristTheKing #HolyInnocents #FaithAndHope #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianReflection

Some people are born into ordinary places. She was born inside a working funeral home. This true story begins in the basement of a Cleveland funeral home—where bodies were prepared for burial and grief was part of daily life. Just hours before her birth, the body of a young man killed in a car accident was brought into the same space. Birth and death shared the room. And something noticed. As a child, she laughed at empty corners, reacted to unseen presences, and sensed shifts in rooms no one else felt. At just three years old, she saw eyes staring back at her from the darkness beneath her bed—and when she hid in fear, something stayed. When she reached out, it responded. Even after leaving the funeral home, the experiences followed. The feeling of being watched. The pressure in empty rooms. The sense that the haunting wasn't tied to a location—but to her.

One of the hardest parts of raising a child with OCD is figuring out who you're actually talking to. Is it your child… or is it their OCD pulling you into another loop?In this episode, we talk about the different ways OCD ropes parents in—whether it's endless reassurance seeking, constant confessing, permission checking, “just right” demands, or those sneaky checking questions like, “Do I look sick?” or “Is this bad?”I'll walk you through how to spot when OCD is taking over the conversation: the circular back-and-forth that goes nowhere, the distress when you don't answer the “right” way, or the need for more and more clarity tied to their specific OCD themes.Then we shift into what you can do. We'll cover how to talk to your child about these patterns ahead of time, how to team up on a plan for responding, and how to use exposures and tools (like reassurance cards) to stop feeding the OCD loop.And finally, an important reminder: not talking to OCD does not mean ignoring your child. You can still validate, support, connect, and check in, just without fueling compulsions.

When New York Times critic Amanda Hess was told her baby had a rare genetic condition, her first instinct was to “Google [her] way out of it.” But instead of comfort, she found anxiety – a feeling that would come to define her journey into parenthood. We talk to Hess about how technology, including fertility apps and high-end gadgets, are reshaping parenthood.

Entering a new year without our child bring heavy emotions for bereaved parents.

As we close out an extraordinary year of Fostering Change, Rob Scheer welcomes Becky Santoro, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Foster Village Charlotte — a nonprofit reshaping foster care by focusing on the people raising and supporting children every day: foster, kinship, and birth families.A former educator and foster parent herself, Becky witnessed firsthand how overwhelmed and isolated caregivers can feel. She also saw something powerful: children thrive when the adults caring for them are supported, equipped, and connected. That realization led her to co-found Foster Village Charlotte in 2018 — a community-driven model that has since expanded nationwide through a growing network of Foster Village affiliates.Today, Becky and her team not only serve families across the Charlotte region, but also coach and mentor emerging affiliates across the U.S., helping communities build their own “village” of wraparound care. From practical resources to emotional connection to dignified, trauma-informed visitation spaces, Foster Village is reimagining what it means to care for children by caring for the caregivers who love them.

In this episode, I answer a thoughtful question about working with tweens and teens—particularly neurodivergent clients—and whether it's ever appropriate to "check in" verbally about things like school. I explain why, even with older children and adolescents, directly asking questions introduces an agenda, pulls the child into their head, and shifts us out of true child-centeredness. While play may look more activity-based and repetitive at this developmental stage, the core principles of CCPT remain exactly the same. I also discuss why repetitive, competence-based play is both developmentally appropriate and therapeutically meaningful for tweens, teens, and children on the spectrum. Even when children don't verbalize their struggles, they are still working through confidence, emotional awareness, and relational skills in the playroom. When we trust the model, trust the child, and trust the process—without inserting topics or timelines—we preserve the outcomes we know CCPT produces. The moment we change the model, we no longer know the outcome. CCPT: The Field of Dreams | Live Training Event at Steinbrenner Field More Info. & Registration go to https://corewellceu.com/tampa.

Read OnlineThere was a prophetess, Anna… She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.  And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.  Luke 2:36–38Like Simeon, Anna was among those “awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” She belonged to the faithful remnant of Israel who believed in the prophecies, understood the Messiah's spiritual and salvific role, and awaited His coming with great hope.Because Anna “never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer,” she was deeply attuned to God's voice. Her life of prayer made her sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, especially on that glorious day when Jesus was presented and ritually redeemed in the Temple.Imagine Mary and Joseph's reaction to Simeon's prophetic words and then to Anna's. They might have expected the ritual offering and dedication to be a routine event. Yet, the joy and prophetic words of Simeon and Anna must have filled them with awe and wonder at the profound mystery of their Child's identity and mission.Like Simeon and Anna, we are called to be part of the faithful remnant today. The chaos and immorality that plague our world can easily lead to discouragement or anger. When this turmoil is close to home, within our families or communities, it becomes even more challenging. Anna's example in today's Gospel offers us a powerful model of how to live our lives. While most of us cannot remain in church night and day, fasting and praying, we are all called to carry the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us, making our souls temples of God.Saint Teresa of Ávila speaks highly of the prayer of recollection, a practice that helps us become more aware of God's presence within. This prayer takes place on two levels. First, “active” recollection is an intentional meditation in which we seek God within the temple, or “castle,” of our souls. It's an active turning inward to find God dwelling within us by grace.Over time, as we deepen in this prayer, it becomes “passive” recollection. God begins to take the lead, and we sense His presence more profoundly throughout the day, calling us to be with Him in the temple of our souls. Those who practice these forms of recollection are like Anna who spent day and night in the Temple, attuned to God's voice.Reflect, today, on God's invitation to imitate Anna's life of prayer. By following her example, you, too, will become more attuned to the voice of God and the promptings of the Holy Spirit. You will recognize the many ways the Messiah comes to you and is present all around you. This grace will empower you to overcome the evils and challenges of the world, making you a member of God's faithful remnant, awaiting His consolation and redemption.Most glorious Messiah, You see the chaos in our world, and You come to those who seek You to deliver them and set them free. Help me to become a member of Your faithful remnant, always turning to You in trust and seeking You day and night. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via picrylSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

And [Mary and Joseph] brought [Jesus] up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord …. Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon …. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. … he [Simeon] took Him [Jesus] up in his arms and blessed God …. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed ….” (Luke 2:22b, 25a, 26, 28a, 34)
