Here I am! (Hineni)

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here.

I’m Hope – a wife and mom, a perpetual student of theology and a teacher- turned – campus minister and writer. This (dated) picture clearly cropped out my friend Emily. (Sorry, Emily! Photo credit to Emily’s mom, Cathy!)

I began “Our Sacrifice of Praise” to share Catholic thought on living lives of faith in the midst of this beautiful and bonkers world. You’ll find my musings here spanning vocation, music, liturgy, literature, sacramental life and historical theology — all mixed in with stories and anecdotes about how I hope God is at work in the world and in my family.

I hope that you will share yourself with me, so that together we can offer our life’s “sacrifice of praise” to God in all the seasons of life.
