There is a huge undeveloped piece of land that sits near the lakefront on the far Southeast Side of the city. Its high that this area which is sorely in need of redevelopment to get their fair shot and in turn help redevelop the immediate neighborhoods around there.

to some these may be the best in the Chicago area, however, I still like the frozen ones I get from nearby NW Indiana....Lynethe's in Whiting, Indiana (sells them for $6 a dozen) and MJ's in Hammond are two such places

This is a great reflection and something I try and do every morning on my way to work...unlike most folks, I only have a 10 minute commute so when I get to a certain point, I'll say a few prayers asking God to help me in the day ahead....intentions for friends who are sick, and then an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be....by the time I get to work I am generally a bit more relaxed and ready to face the day....

"Leap of Faith"...I know that phrase well....I did a talk to a teen group I help with on that very same topic of how I changed majors in college not knowing what the future would hold....but with faith and with a lot of prayer, I made it through and although I am not quite in the "career" i had studied for, I still apply what I learned in college in a lot of different ways. Thanks for bringing that to light.

couple of Mary's titles came to mind while reading this....Mother of Sorrows and of course Our Lady of Lourdes....

Good job!

I read this homily with interest as I am a graduate from St. Ignatius here in Chicago and have always been interested in Ignatian Spirituality...as a matter of fact, the first Theology on Tap speaker we had was Fr. Pat McGrath who spoke about Ignatian Spirituality....so good job!
