We Are All Called to Lives of Holiness

Sometimes honesty in Catholic circles can be difficult. It is hard to admit to others that our vocation is just plain hard, that marriage can be messy and rough. I have been married for 3.5 years. We did not have a "honeymoon phase" as I was pregnant 3 months into our marriage and was sick …
