Where Heaven Meets the Hills: Walburga’s Mother Maria-Michael on the Beauty of Consecrated Life
In the quiet plains near the Wyoming border, the Benedictine nuns of the Abbey of St. Walburga live a life of prayer and praise — a hidden wellspring of grace for the Church and the world. (Photo courtesy of the Abbey of St. Walburga) If you’ve never been to Virginia Dale, Colorado, it’s quiet.

(Photo: Lightstock) The American holiday calendar is surprisingly rich with Catholic traditions — St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, All Hallows Eve, Christmas and Easter.

After expressing to him that I felt hopeless and like God had abandoned me, he delicately asked me, “What’s your hope in?” I slumped into our old, sunken couch and thought to myself: “ What was my hope in?
