Hi friends, surprise, it's me! If you were with me on the four-year Raised Catholic journey, you might know that I now write weekly on Substack at kerrycampbellwrites.substack.com (https://kerrycampbellwrites.substack.com). While writing today, I felt a strong call to record this piece for you, so here goes! I hope it's a blessing to you, and if you'd like to share your word of the year for next year, please find me over on Substack and tell me about it in the comments (https://kerrycampbellwrites.substack.com). All of the previous episodes of Raised Catholic are always available for re-listening, so check those out if you'd like wherever you get your podcasts, friend! For you and yours in 2026, may
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
numbers 6:24-26

Reading: Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton, Chapter 5
Hi friends, surprise! I'm sneaking back into your podcast feed because I feel strongly led on this day to record this impactful chapter of Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton, for you! I pray it's a blessing and as clarifying for you as it is for me heading into a new year. Read the whole beautiful book, would you? Blessings on you and yours, friend. I'll see you next time (?).
