  • Sterilizing the Poor with Despair

    Sterilizing the Poor with Despair
    2026/04/21
    There is an expanding worldview, even amongst Catholics, which sees children not as an end unto themselves but as a mere choice among many, a status symbol, an indicator of financial stability, or simply the means of happiness for unfulfilled couples. In this understanding, children become merely useful or not, timely or not, wanted…or not. It distorts the understanding of marriage and rips at the fabric of the family.

    Have a Blessed Triduum
    2026/04/02
    The Triduum is upon us. These are the three days in which we walk with Christ through his darkest moments—those times that were so monstrous because of us. It’s also a time in which we see so clearly that He knows what it is to suffer in every way, not only in the more direct manner as upon the Cross, but in the preparation for that end: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/have-a-blessed-triduum

    Losing Oneself to Performance
    2026/03/28
    Performance culture doesn’t just encourage people to lie. It teaches them to disappear into a mere echo of the crowd: https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/losing-oneself-to-performance

    Why a Premature Baby Feels Like an Accusation
    2026/03/19
    When a premature baby fights for life, the natural response should be compassion. Increasingly, it is something else. What does it mean when even the sight of a child feels like an accusation https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/why-a-premature-baby-feels-like-an

    Turn Off the Noise. Light a Candle.
    2026/03/09
    We don’t have to pretend that we dislike modern conveniences, but we must acknowledge that we have souls, and live accordingly. https://writings.crusadergal.com/p/turn-off-the-noise-light-a-candle
