‘Atomic Habits’ and the Little Way of St. Joseph (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading this book by James Clear at the beginning of Joseph's Year gave me insights into how Joseph was able to fulfill his vocation. Reading this book by James Clear at the beginning of Joseph’s Year gave me insights into how Joseph was able to fulfill his vocation.My favorite book of the moment is Atomic Habits, the huge-selling book by James Clear. I have bought it for several of my children because it is a great method of taking small, satisfying steps toward self-discipline. Its tagline: “T
From Mary's party to her sorrows: A life just like ours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We go from September 8 to September 15: two poles of life that coincide also in the life of every Christian. The days between September 8, the Nativity of Our Lady, and September 15, the feast of Our Lady, Mother of Sorrows, have always been a powerful time of the year for me.

But it is the 75th anniversary of the publication of this novel which is both enormously influential and shrouded in mystery because of the reclusive habits of its author, J.D. Salinger. What
Choosing humanity over technology is easier said than done (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We need to risk human unpleasantness rather than retreat to mechanized simplicity. Perhaps the first step is acknowledging that it often isn't very easy.
