February 17, 2008 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Lord, let me be the change I want to see To do with strength and wisdom All that needs to be done And become the hope that I can be. Set me free from my fears and hesitations. Grant me courage and humility. Fill me with spirit to face the challenge And start the change […]

Brave Hearts.

February 16, 2008 By Tammy 1 Comment

So Pedro Arrupe tells us to fall in love. And we all do. We fall in love – and as he says – it influences everything that we do. And because it’s such a wonderful, beautiful thing – we celebrate it on the 14th of February. 🙂 The love he speaks of need not be […]

Fall in Love. Stay in Love.

February 15, 2008 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will […]

WYA Diaries: Collective Memory

September 22, 2007 By Tammy Leave a Comment

I wanted to show Ren the old neighborhood of the World Youth Alliance while we were in New York. WYA was not always conveniently located at 228 East 71st Street. We were not always UpTown kids…we were, in fact, up up up town kids. Sometimes, I still can’t believe we’ve moved to where we are […]

Pogue Diaries: 23rd Birthday!

November 12, 2005 By Tammy Leave a Comment

My 23rd birthday was my first birthday away from home… I really had no idea how I was going to spend it. It was to fall on a Friday – Veteran’s Day…an American holiday (unfortunately, or fortunately – depending on how you look at it – I had work). I was planning on going to […]

Pogue Diaries: The Cast

November 2, 2005 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Pogue Diaries: The Real World – NYC

October 6, 2005 By Tammy Leave a Comment

It has been quite a while since I last posted. And just about a million things happened to me since. Manhattan has been amazing. The people I live with are amazing. The things I have been learning – amazing. This whole internship program is everything I thought it would be and more. The issues we […]

HOMILY FOR THE FEAST OF ST. IGNATIUS

August 5, 2005 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Three parts to this feast day homily: first, a word about our present reality; secondly, some light from our Gospel reading; finally, some words about our founder and father, Ignatius of Loyola. First, our reality. Let me begin by sharing with you two sets of somewhat depressing statistics. First, this past year, the four provincial […]
