Today is the feast of the Annunciation– celebrating one of the most astonishing moments of communication between God and humanity: the eternal, all-powerful God asks a young Jewish maiden if she will be his mother. Can he “break into” her life as her Son?

The call to communicate the Gospel
Posted in Catholic Media Artist, Creativity, Faith and Culture, Spirituality of Communication, tagged call to write, the Church and communication on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I am thrilled to hear that the Vatican is considering publishing a new document on communications. Aetatis Novae (At the Dawn of the New Era) has some wonderful points, but is already outdated. CNS (Catholic News Service) published some highlights from a current seminar that bishops from around the world are attending in Rome. Here is [...]

I did it again. Sigh. After being “on a roll” and really connecting to my writing steadily (and productively) for almost two solid weeks, I let three days go by where I didn’t really write. And this morning, I got up early to spend a couple of hours on my script and instead, find myself [...]

These are my top 5 books on creativity and writing craft that I go back to when I need insight or change in perspective, a way to “loosen up” creative muscles stiffened by tension or deadlines, or when I’m just starting out on a new project. The first three and the last one are by [...]

Welcome!
Every artistic effort, every media production, is a window to the soul of its creator. Our media culture is also a window--to the soul of humanity. As Christian communicators, we strive to let Christ's light within us glow through the windows of our souls--our media productions. Welcome to my personal musings into the spirituality of being a Catholic media artist and a Pauline woman religious immersed in the world of communication.
