I vividly remember the day Matteo and I quit our jobs. Our fourth baby was about a month old and we had just sold our house. We walked into the office where we worked together knowing exactly what we had to say.

Raised in a Catholic household, my spiritual life felt a bit more handed down than a lived reality for many years. Although I was familiar with the liturgy and recited the prayers, I had yet to experience the profundity of a personal conviction.
