DeSales Pick: Appletopia - DeSales Media Group

Introducing DeSales Picks: books that we recommend to deepen your knowledge of Catholic conversations around technology.

We begin with Brett T. Robinson’s Appletopia, published by Baylor University Press.

Brett Robinson’s Appletopia offers a compelling glimpse into the mind of Steve Jobs and his brainchild, Apple. Robinson examines how "Appletopia" appeals to our human religious imagination to market Apple's products.

It's time for another #SaintofMyDay! For #AllSaintsDay, we're talking with people about the saint-like people in their lives.

We chatted with Katie Tamola, Social Media Community Manager, about a saint in her life.

"Oh! #MySaintIs one of my best friends, Flo (I call her BFF Flo..haha). Honestly, I wouldn't have made it through the past two years without her. She's always inspired me--not only is she so strong and resilient, but she's just one of those people that everyone wants to be around. Flo is always kind to me, builds me up, and is there for me, unconditionally. She has brought a lot of light into my life (and the lives of others). It's an honor to know her and to call her a close friend."

That concludes our DeSales employees sharing their saints. Now we want to hear from YOU! Please share below in the comments--tell us about your saints! Tag them! May God bless you and your loved ones today and always.

We are continuing to talk about saints in our lives for #AllSaintsDay. Today, we talked to Brendan Dermody, Data Analyst, about a a saint in his life.

"I love this idea, and it took me no time to come up with my saint.

I lost my mother at 12. My two younger sisters were 8 and 4 at the time, so I'm sure it's not surprising that those were the hardest years. If not for Donna, my saint, I don't know where we would have ended up. She was our neighbor at the time, and while Dad buried himself in his work to keep himself going and keep us together, we were left to fend for ourselves, in a manner of speaking. Donna saw this, and without hesitation became a de-facto surrogate - picking us up from school and having us over afterwards, cooking, cleaning...the list goes on.

She stuck around for years while raising her own kids alone. What makes it so special is that she didn't ask for anything in return. Ever. All she cared about was that the neighbor's kids were taken care of. I can't think of a better example of a saint than that, no?"

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Brendan. We are grateful.

We pray for and remember all the people we have lost, and we thank God for the saints in our lives who stand with us in our loss.

Kristina Mazzeo, Sales Coordinator at DeSales Media Group, talked to us about a saint in her life on #AllSaintsDay

"My Grandma Florrie is my saint. She is with me every day as I try to emulate her strength, kind heart, and love for family. My grandma made everyone she met feel like they were the most special person. You were overcome with warmth and love every time you were in her presence. She always told me that anything anyone can do, you can do. Always aim high and succeed in life. There are no limits to what you can do. "

Thank you Kristina, for sharing your story and beautiful photo with us!

We all know about saints--we pray to St. Anthony when we lose our keys and we keep an eye out for saints who bear connections to our respective journeys and experiences. But what if we began to think about saints on a more personal and human level? Have you ever been moved by the kindness or selflessness by someone in your life?

We want to share stories about the saints in our lives. The people who love them unconditionally. The people who do not judge them. The people who push them to be better just by being themselves.

Today, a few DeSales employees will share the saints in their lives.

We’re hoping that by sharing our stories about a saint-like person in our life, you will join us in this community and share with us a story about a person who has been a saint in YOUR life.

Who is a saint to you? Please share below in the comments. Happy All Saints Day!

The Eucharist: the Medium is the Message - DeSales Media Group

Check out this week's blog!

"There isn’t a single place we can’t bring Christ, there isn’t any place, no matter how large, how small or how strange that Christ doesn’t desire to be a part of"...even the internet!

The internet, as a new medium of communication, opens up a new way for human beings to interact. It opens up a new medium for Christ to make himself known.

A Prayer for Resting in God's Love

"God of Goodness, I come into your presence so aware of my human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me.
I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me.
If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there.
Teach me today to love you more.
Help me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart of a child."
