Dear Dorothy, I’m writing with something that’s been weighing on my heart. My parents are getting on in years. My father is 78 and my mother is 74. While I’m grateful they’re still with us, I’ve started to notice that they’re slowing down physically and becoming more forgetful. I feel torn. I have a demanding job, young children to raise, and very little time for myself. Yet I also feel guilty that I’m not doing enough for my parents. I want to be there for them emotionally and practically, but I’m struggling to find the right balance. Some of my…

The idea of romantic exclusivity is no longer a one-size-fits-all model. More couples are exploring alternatives to traditional monogamy, including open relationships. But while this arrangement might offer freedom and flexibility, it also comes with its own set of challenges. If you’re considering this path, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

This differs from polyamory, which often involves multiple committed relationships; in contrast, open relationships are usually about allowing casual encounters…

According to the Microsoft co-founder, we are approaching a tipping point where artificial intelligence will render most traditional careers obsolete. Only a few job types, he predicts, will remain resilient in the face of accelerating automation. This isn’t a vague forecast from decades away. Gates’ message is blunt: AI is already here, and it’s moving faster than governments, industries, and even most people are prepared for. The Three…

Readings: Genesis 18:20-32; Psalm 138; Colossians 2:12-14; Luke 11:1-13 Grace and peace to you dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. Our Gospel begins with a profound request: The disciples of Jesus – faithful Jews – ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” This would have been a surprising request. They had grown up reciting the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), memorising Psalms, attending synagogue services, and observing daily prayers. Yet, they noticed that something was different about the way Jesus prayed. They saw in Jesus a depth of communion, an intimacy that was not just ritual but relationship, not mere recitation,…
