Welcome! I’m glad you found my website: Connecting Spirituality, Scripture, and Everyday Life.

I’m a Philadelphia-based writer, speaker, and retreat facilitator. My Jesuit education taught me to find God in all things, so here you will find reflections and ruminations, links to published articles, information about my books, and a schedule of speaking engagements.

I hope you discover something that touches your spirit, enabling you to notice God’s presence in your own life more clearly!

My monthly (ish) newsletter is the best way to hear about my speaking engagements, new blog posts, and book launch updates. I promise not to share your info or flood your inbox! Use the unsubscribe link in any email to opt out.

Success! You're on the list.

As the Spiritual Development Associate for the Baltimore-based Ignatian Volunteer Corps, it can sometimes be a challenge to find unique, fresh ways in which to inspire our volunteers, many of whom have been with IVC for years. What a blessing we all experienced last Thursday when Christine led our mid-year day of reflection! It was just the right blending of presentation, reflection questions and thoughts, personal prayer time, and group interaction. Her portrayal of Martha from Luke’s Gospel was captivating. In the tradition of Hebrew Midrash, Christine brought Martha to life for us, enabling us to relate to this Biblical figure in a very real way. I highly recommend Christine and her gifts to you!

Christine was a skilled leader whose authenticity and kindheartedness welcomed everyone to bring their whole selves to this reflective time. Her engaging morning talks and thoughtful evening meditations opened up stories from the Bible and put them in conversation with the stories of our own lives. People who didn’t know each other at all on Sunday departed on Friday as friends, even though conversation was minimal. One after another, retreatants commented how they were looking forward to next time.
