We’re halfway through the Easter Season, as we move toward Pentecost. The 40 days of Lent was a journey of anticipation toward the cross, then we walked along Christ in the suffering of the Triduum, beheld the rising of Easter Sunday, were stunned on the walk to Emmaus, comforted on Divine Mercy Sunday, and consoled on Good Shepherd Sunday. The Liturgy walks us through a process of renewal.

On the Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 3rd, we flash back to before the crucifixion, where Jesus tells the apostles he will go to his Father’s house and prepare for them a place to be with God. As usual, the apostles don’t quite understand the ramifications of the reality — Jesus descending into Hell, to defeat death, and open the way to heaven, ultimately making a place for us to join Him in eternity.

This Lent, I’m providing a Parish Mission at St. Michael the Archangel’s in Grand Prairie, TX, entitled:

Rising from the Ashes How God Restores Our Broken Pieces with Hope, Healing, and Grace.

On this holy observance of All Saints' and All Souls' Days, we turn our gaze toward the experience of the encounter with the mysterious veil between this life and the next: where memory, hope, and love intertwine in sacred tension.

To the Souls who have tilled Earth’s last embrace and the Saints who have ascended the Holy Parapet: We gather to lift up your memories, honor the heritage of love’s last kiss, and join the unbreakable bond of the love that remains.

Having worked in various healthcare settings, I’ve seen and experienced how the loving, caring hearts of caregivers can become overtaxed, causing them to lose focus. This reality became especially clear when I was the director of mental health services at a university. Witnessing the diligent and inspired work of my staff, I felt called to support them in a new way. From that need, Telos Cura was born.

With the Fall of Man and Original Sin, living in the human condition can often feel like a ship tossed by the storm at night, or marooned in a vast sea of nothingness. We can feel at war within ourselves: the tempest in the whisper.

When alive, did the saints of old have some superhuman power to rise above the human condition, swat away struggles, and unflinchingly stand face-to-face with the Devil?

For too long, many Catholics have felt caught between a secular psychology that can feel empty of God and a rich spiritual tradition that can sometimes feel inaccessible. The Quomnia Way is designed to be the bridge.

Through the Quomnia way and its first movement, Examine the Source, we learn to gain insight into our own nature, grasp the realities of the world, recognize the divine origin of all truth and life, and make our way out of darkness to the light.

You may be asking yourself, “where is that cool quomnia logo from, and what does it mean?” Well, we’ve plastered it all over the site, so we figured it was time to give you some insight into what it’s all about. Rather than just a boring old blog post, we thought we’d give you a sneak peek into the portion of the Quomnia book, revealing the story and symbolism of the Quomnia Torch.

At Quomnia, we believe the sacred is found in the slow, faithful work of becoming. We’ve launched music. Opened our store. Telos Cura is almost here. The book is underway. And a church conference is on the horizon. Each step is a holy effort—a way of honoring the divine image in every person. Join us as we build something beautiful. #HolyEffort #Quomnia #Telos #TheologyOfThePerson #SpiritualFormation #CatholicCreatives #Dignity #Vocation

A light in the darkness, a way forward towards hope and healing.
