Brown Skin Girl
Instead of recognizing my own beauty through the similarities I shared with my mother and sisters, I focused on the differences I had with other girls my age. I considered my differences from them as an absence of beauty. I was too focused on those differences to see the similarities I shared with my family; to see my own God-given radiant glow.
Don’t Waste Your Quarantine
It’s no coincidence for us as Catholics that this trying time comes during our season of Lent. We gave God our hearts on Ash Wednesday, asking Him to purify us of our worldly desires.

Practical Freedom from Porn
We are not our worst struggles; you are not your porn habit. You are beloved. God delights in you.
