One week of school, and then it was homecoming. Rebecca and Seth's daughters had barely settled into the new school year before the family was juggling dates, friends, photos, rides, and plans that seemed to change every few minutes.In this Whinypaluza Wednesday conversation, Seth joins Rebecca from Las Vegas to look back on the excitement and chaos. Ella was celebrating her last homecoming, while Lillie was attending her first. Rebecca wanted to show up for both girls, but their different plans made that harder than it sounds.Rebecca and Seth also talk about a lesson they've learned as parents: kids don't all want the same homecoming experience. One may want a big group, another may prefer a few friends, and another may not want to go to the dance at all. Supporting your child sometimes means letting go of the picture you had in your head.In this episode:The challenge of balancing one daughter's first homecoming with another daughter's lastWhy kids should be free to enjoy school dances in their own way, including choosing not to goThe changing plans before the dance and the parents who helped make it all workRebecca's decision to let Lillie go with her friends, even though it meant missing the photo of her daughters together that she wantedWhy clear updates about rides and after-dance plans matter to parentsHow Rebecca and Seth found a quiet moment for dinner together in the middle of a chaotic dayThe girls had a good time, and the evening worked out. Rebecca and Seth are honest about the stress it took to get there, too. Their advice for parents in the thick of it: talk to other parents, stay flexible, and choose which moments matter most.What has homecoming been like in your family? Rebecca and Seth would love to hear your stories and advice.Listen to The Whinypaluza Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whinypaluza-podcast/id1534167756This Episode Is Sponsored by Lovebug ProbioticsMoms spend so much time caring for everyone else that supporting their own health can fall off the list.

Delivered by May Ann Rodrigo from Saint Peter's School Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara, in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Isaiah 66: 10-14b; Rs psalm 131: 1.2.3; Matthew 18: 1-5.GOD IS PLEASED WITH THE LITTLE ONES The theme for our meditation today is: God is Pleasedwith the Little Ones. At the moment when she was about to pass away as a24-year-old contemplative Carmelite nun, Saint Therese uttered her last wordsthat went like this: "My Lord, I love You!" This expression of prayeronce was repeated so fervently by the children and young people in one ofremotest parishes, who were having a full year faith formation program. Inone of those occasions when the Bishop of that diocese was also present, achild approached the Bishop and asked in this way: "What is the bestprayer for children when they like to pray?" The Bishop replied: "Follow the example of SaintTherese of the Child Jesus who always prayed in these words, 'O my Lord, I loveYou'. The Bishop asked the children to repeat this prayer every day, apart fromsaying common prayers such as "Our Father" and "Hail Mary".The children were delighted and satisfied by this brief and very touchingprayer. When children want to repay kindness and care they have received fromtheir parents, teachers and anyone else, they usually say the word "thankyou" and there might be no more additional explanation to it. If anexplanation is needed, it would be appropriate for them to simply say: "Ilove You". Today Saint Theresa teaches us to love God in the sameway the children do, namely with simplicity and with the reality of our dailylives. Christian spirituality shown in the life of children, emphasizes thespirit of dependence on God and living in gratitude. The scriptures show howthe Lord provides a very important place for those whom He chooses, namelychildren and young people. Our today's readings indicate that people who areinsignificant and smallest according to human view, will be the greatest in theKingdom of Heaven because it is according to the will of God. God's will is fulfilled when we heed His invitationthat we need to fight our human pride. This is the capital sin that move peopleto always look for position, power, wealth, and fame. God is so pleased with thelittle ones and are abandoned in order to humiliate those who always think ofthemselves better and holier than others. One of the ways to overcome our prideis to follow the way that the Prophet Job had, especially when he faced all theadversities in his life. In that situation, he still believed and depended onGod. This is really the attitude of a child, because he only knows that God isthe ruler of life. Job's strong faith was expressed in this way: "It isGod who gives, it is God who takes away, praise the name of God." Thewords of this prayer are the same as the prayer we have just mentioned earlier:"O my Lord, I love You." Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving God, may our lives todaydepend solely on Your providence and increase in us the sense of gratitude.Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name ofthe Father ...

What happens when a woman who has spent years managing everyone else's life finally reaches her breaking point?Rebecca Greene welcomes novelist Kristin Bair for a funny, honest and deeply relatable conversation inspired by Kristin's novel, Clementine Crane Prefers Not To. Rebecca loved the book so much that she read it twice, recommended it to every mother she knew and knew she had to bring Kristin to the Whinypaluza audience.The novel begins with a hot flash, but the real story is much bigger: the invisible mental load women carry, the resentment that grows when one person becomes responsible for everything and the moment a woman realizes she is allowed to stop.Kristin shares how perimenopause collided with a line she had carried since graduate school: “I would prefer not to,” from Herman Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener. Together, those ideas became Clementine Crane, an overwhelmed wife and mother whose first hot flash sparks a personal rebellion.Rebecca and Kristin explore why women are so often expected to remember appointments, manage relationships, plan celebrations, anticipate everyone's needs and keep the household moving. Kristin makes an important distinction: women did not necessarily create these roles. They inherited them, were not taught how to reject them and often continued carrying everything because they could not see another way.Kristin encourages women to begin with one small act of resistance. Leave the laundry alone. Do not automatically plan the family outing. Stop solving a problem before anyone else notices it exists. Saying “I prefer not to” can begin quietly, with one decision that gives a woman room to breathe.They also discuss using humor to confront difficult truths, what men can do to create healthier relationships, Kristin's writing process and why she protects each student's unique voice.What You'll LearnHow perimenopause inspired Clementine CraneWhat the invisible mental load includesWhy guilt appears when women stop managing everythingHow to begin saying “I prefer not to”Why humor makes difficult truths easier to faceHow families can create healthier expectationsWhy writers must protect their original voicesAbout Kristin BairKristin Bair is a novelist, essayist and writing instructor who writes fiercely and humorously about women navigating motherhood, marriage, ambition, identity, perimenopause and the mental load.Her fourth novel, Clementine Crane Prefers Not To, follows a woman whose first hot flash awakens her to the invisible responsibilities she has accepted for years. Kristin also wrote Agatha Arch Is Afraid of Everything, The Art of Floating and Thirsty.Website: https://www.kristinbairokeeffe.com/Instagram and TikTok: @kbairokeeffeBook: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709879/clementine-crane-prefers-not-to-by-kristin-bair/This Episode Is Sponsored by Lovebug ProbioticsMoms spend so much time caring for everyone else that supporting their own health can fall off the list.

High standards can inspire children to work hard and reach meaningful goals. But when those standards become unrelenting, achievement can stop feeling rewarding and start feeling like a requirement for being worthy.In this Whinypaluza Wednesday episode, Rebecca and Seth Greene explore how perfectionism, anxiety, external validation, family expectations, and the need for control can quietly create enormous pressure for children and parents alike.Rebecca also asks parents to consider a difficult but important question: Are our children learning to be hard on themselves by watching how hard we are on ourselves?This conversation is not about lowering expectations or discouraging ambition. It is about helping children pursue their goals without believing they must always be perfect.In this episode, Rebecca discusses:Why parents should examine the behavior they are modelingHow praising effort, attitude, and process builds lifelong confidenceWhy achievement cannot provide lasting internal validationHow criticism and labels can intensify pressureThe effect of sibling comparison and competitive environmentsHow black-and-white thinking fuels perfectionismWhy “good enough” can be a healthy and powerful standardHow boundaries can reduce overworking and over-practicingHelping children tolerate uncertainty about college, careers, and the futureWhy self-compassion must begin with the parentThe goal is not to raise children who stop caring. It is to raise children who understand that their worth is not determined by a grade, award, performance, or perfectly planned future.Listen to The Whinypaluza Podcast on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whinypaluza-podcast/id1534167756This Episode Is Sponsored by Lovebug ProbioticsMoms spend so much time caring for everyone else that supporting their own health can fall off the list.

Little Ones in Our Midst - Matthew 18:1-6, 19:13-15 - Father Trevor McMaken by

Sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (A) Sunday, 6 September A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch   Matthew 18:1–20 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7“Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! 8And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. 9And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire. 10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. 11For the Son of Man came to save the lost. 12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

"Let the Little Ones Come to Me" presented by Matthew Steel

Some treat Nursery leader as a calling that doesn't matter or one to be avoided but Angie Robertshaw is not one of those people. Instead, she calls serving in nursery "her thing" and takes the responsibility to teach the Lord's little ones very seriously. On this week's episode, Angie shares why she believes our service in the Church regardless of calling matters. 1:45- Finding the Gospel in New Zealand 6:20- Māori Culture and Upbringing 13:15- A Sacred Space 17:11- Special Days 27:12- Worth the Effort to Serve 35:09- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? "Wherever the children are, it's a sacred space."

In this episode, we share the heart behind one of Flint Energies' most meaningful traditions—Linemen for Little Ones. For more than 20 years, this program has been a shining example of what it means to serve beyond the line.Lineman for Little Ones was created over two decades ago by Pamela Knight and Al Williams at Flint Energies with one simple but powerful purpose: to make sure children living on Flint Energies' lines experience the joy of Christmas morning.For families facing financial hardship, the holiday season can be difficult. This program steps in to ensure that “little ones” who might otherwise go without can wake up to a traditional Christmas—filled with gifts, joy, and hope.What makes Linemen for Little Ones so special is the people behind it.

This week, we'll be studying Mark 9:35-50 under the theme “The Spiritual Truths We Learn From Little Ones.” We find that Kingdom greatness doesn't look like climbing over others—it looks like kneeling to serve them. In this passage, Jesus shows that true greatness is found in welcoming the “little ones,” embracing believers who aren't just like us, and taking sin seriously.Series Summary: Fast-paced, urgent, and relentlessly focused on Jesus, the Gospel of Mark shows us not just what Jesus said, but what he did. Written for a Roman world hungry for power, Mark introduces a surprising King - one who comes to serve, to suffer, and to give his life for many. Over the coming weeks, we'll walk this road with Jesus, from the wilderness to the cross, discovering how the Servant-King's actions reveal the true good news - and what it means to follow him as disciples who take up our own cross and trust him with our lives.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Send a textWhat if your next fast didn't just change your week but shaped your family line? Tyler opens up about moving from a check‑the‑box approach to faith into a fasted life that reorders love, clarifies calling, and points everything toward legacy. From the first awkward seven‑day attempt to eleven years of 21‑day January fasts, he shares the surprising ways God used hunger to open doors, surface a life word, and move him from crisis management to multi‑generational vision.We talk about why fasting belongs alongside prayer and generosity as a core Christian practice—and why it's not about legalism or spiritual theatrics. You'll hear how a timely book cracked open a deeper love for Jesus, how the word arise reframed a hard season of handling family estates, and why this year's theme, recover all, lands with courage. The turning point arrives at the gym, headphones on, hearing a chapter called For the Little Ones. That phrase redirects the entire fast: pray not only for personal breakthrough or current kids, but for grandchildren, future spouses, and great‑grandchildren we may never meet.Scripture stitches this vision together. Deuteronomy calls us to teach and remember. Daniel's fasted life shows how consecration can ripple across centuries, shaping cultures even without direct descendants. We translate that into practice: pick a sustainable fast, anchor it in Scripture, set a clear timeframe, pray specific generational petitions, and reflect on what God highlights. The goal is a family culture that seeks God first, handles money and calling wisely, and stands unshaken in storms.If you've never fasted, start small and aim honest. If you're seasoned, widen your target. Ask God for a word for the year, and let that guide your prayers for those yet to come. Subscribe for more faith‑forward conversations, share this with someone who needs a nudge toward legacy, and leave a review to tell us: who will you fast for next?Support the show

Ralph comments on the amazingly tender words of holy Mary as she appeared to St. Juan Diego at Guadalupe in Mexico almost 500 years ago. He believes that she intends them to be personalized and received as a word from her to each one of us. Some of what she says seems like it could be described as a “hug from Mary,” our heavenly mother.
