Daily Liturgy — January 21, 2026
Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr, and the liturgy invites us to reflect on courage, fidelity, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting God completely. As we continue through the Second Week in Ordinary Time, the readings place before us two powerful images of faith in action: the youthful confidence of David as he faces Goliath, and the steady, uncompromising mercy of Christ as He heals on the Sabbath. Together, they remind us that God’s power is often revealed not through force or status, but through obedience, humility, and love that refuses to yield to fear.

The Day Everything Changed: How AI Copilots Pulled My Business (And My Sanity) Back from the Brink Let’s be real. You’re probably here because you’re tired. Tired of the endless to-do list, the creative block that hits at 3 PM, the feeling that you’re running a marathon on a hamster wheel. I know, because that was me. My name’s Jamie, and for three years, I’ve run a niche digital marketing site that was, by all accounts, “successful.” Good traffic, decent revenue.

I Used Perplexity.ai to Kill My SEO Anxiety. You Can, Too.
How I Stopped Panicking About AI Search Engines and Started Winning (A True Story) Let me tell you about the morning I felt the ground shift beneath my feet. I was drinking my usual, too-strong coffee, scrolling through my analytics dashboard. My website—a labor of love I’d built over seven years on sustainable gardening—was more than a blog. It was my livelihood. And there it was: a line on the traffic graph, not dipping, but nosediving. A 22% drop in just three months from organic search.

Beyond ChatGPT: Why the Future is Multimodal AI Models
How I Stopped Drowning in Content Creation: My Journey with Multimodal AI Let me be brutally honest with you. For years, I felt like a hamster on a wheel.
