  • Palm Sunday

    21/03/2016 Duración: 01min

    We enter now into the holiest week of the year as we walk with Jesus through His final days, culminating with His death and resurrection.  We heard today the reading of the passion narrative and we are invited to personally enter into this Holy Week so that we might die with Jesus and rise with Him on Easter.  For us, this week will be as holy as we make it - so let's make it a good one!

  • Lectio Divina

    13/03/2016 Duración: 14min

    5th Sunday of Lent What if you were alive when Jesus was preaching and teaching?  What if you were a part of the stories in Scripture?  What if you heard Jesus speak to you?  God's Word is living and active, and the same God who was at work then is still at work now.  Lectio Divina ('Divine Reading') is a way of reading the Scriptures by inserting yourself into the story - the sights, the smells, the sounds, the feelings - you read through a passage slowly, place yourself in the story and experience what God has to say to you through His living Word.  Try it!  It'll change your life.

  • Pain, Invitation and Mercy

    07/03/2016 Duración: 09min

    4th Sunday of Lent Pain in our body warns us that something is wrong - physically.  Pain in our interior life warns us that something is wrong - spiritually.  Both the younger son and the older son in today's Gospel experience pain.  It's pain that leads the younger son home.  It's pain that keeps the older son from going back inside his home.  Pain, as a warning, is also an invitation: an invitation from our merciful Father to come home, to come back inside, so that we can experience the feast that God is preparing for us!

  • Repentance and Mercy

    28/02/2016 Duración: 10min

    3rd Sunday of Lent Jesus is serious in today's Gospel: "But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!"  When we sin, we choose 'Not-God', and we get exactly what we want - 'Not-God' - that's the definition of hell.  Jesus came to save us from this choice, so He calls us to repentance - to take full responsibility for our mistakes and to beg for God's forgiveness, to turn away from sin and turn toward God.  Then Jesus can finally do what He's been waiting to do - He can take away our sins and fill us with His life!  Then we know, by experience, the mercy of the Father.

  • Mountaintop Moments

    21/02/2016 Duración: 11min

    2nd Sunday of Lent In the midst of our Lenten journey, we catch a glimpse today of Jesus transfigured in glory atop a mountain.  This Jesus who was seen by Peter, James and John is the same Jesus who has appeared to us, who has tangibly broken into our life at moments, who has woken us up, if only for an instant, to the reality of His presence in and around us.  What are some of your mountaintop moments?  These experiences are meant to strengthen us for the journey.  When the road seems too long, remember the view from mountaintop, and keep your eyes open...who knows when you'll suddenly find yourself on top of another mountain?

  • Looking Up

    15/02/2016 Duración: 11min

    1st Sunday of Lent Lent is a great opportunity for us - an excuse to slow down a little bit, turn off the TV, turn off the radio, and spend some extra time with our Father.  Our Lenten practices shake us out of our daily routine and provide us an opportunity to look up to our God.  Jesus in the desert wins against the temptations of the devil by looking up to His Father for strength.  In the midst of your Lenten practices, do you do them by your own will power?  Or do you let these practices turn your heart and mind to the Father in true and honest prayer?   Then even the simplest actions will give your faith a supernatural strength.

  • Ash Wednesday - Dust and Life

    11/02/2016 Duración: 07min

    Ash Wednesday The ashes of today remind us that we are dust, and to dust we shall return.  But in the certainty of death is also our hope - we know that we are more than ashes, that the Lord has breathed life into this dust, that we are filled with God's Spirit, that death is not the end - we're headed somewhere!  So, how are you doing on the way?  What Lenten practices will you take up in order to better hear God's daily calls and act on them?  Lean on Jesus this Lent, and He will give you the strength to live it! Some Lenten daily reflections I suggest: Dynamic Catholic: Best Lent Ever - http://dynamiccatholic.com/bestlentever/ Bishop Barron's Daily Lent Reflections - http://www.lentreflections.com/

  • God's Calls

    08/02/2016 Duración: 10min

    5th Sunday in Ordinary Time God's calls to us often come as thoughts, just simple thoughts.  It's easy to miss them if we're not paying attention, or, if you're like me, you reason yourself out of them.  But God is calling to us daily, in little moments, to witness to our faith, to reach out to others, to pray for others, to share our experiences of the Lord.  As Lent quickly approaches, how will you resolve to do something positive this year in order to hear these little calls of God more clearly in the daily grind?

  • The Power of Words

    31/01/2016 Duración: 11min

    4th Sunday in Ordinary Time We have opportunities each day to speak simply of our experience of God and perhaps change someone's life by our words...even if it's just a little.  We're called by Jesus to be fishers of men, to cast out some lines in the midst of our day-to-day routine.  Will some disregard our words?  Yes.  But will some, even if it's just one, be changed by what we say?  YES!  And I bet we'll be surprised by how many faith-filled people are out there, and by how a simple little comment can lead to extremely encouraging conversations.  Our words have power, so let's use 'em!

  • Walls and Windows

    24/01/2016 Duración: 10min

    3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Walls are necessary for security, to protect the life that is fostered within those walls. To be strong in our Catholic faith we do need to be set apart, we do need to build walls to protect our life inside from the attacks of the outer world.  But we are also invited - like the Israelites, like Noah on the ark - to open the windows at opportune times and let this life transform those around us: it's both/and.  Where do you need to strengthen a wall this week?  And where are you being asked to open a window?

  • I Saw the Sign

    04/01/2016 Duración: 07min

    Solemnity of the Epiphany In our Gospel today we see the three magi coming from the east.  They saw the signs God placed in their lives, and they followed them - straight to Jesus.  God wants to lead all people to Jesus, and God works signs in the life of every person on this earth - Christians, Muslims, atheists, agnostics, New Agers...it doesn't matter.  The presence of the magi today shows that God IS working in the lives of all, calling all people to His Son, whether they know it or not.  What are the signs God is placing in your life?  How are you following them?

  • Subordination...and Love?

    27/12/2015 Duración: 08min

    Feast of the Holy Family Jesus not only came as a baby at Christmas, He also entered into a human family - with all the joys and frustrations that go with it.  We are challenged in all relationships, but especially in the family, to put the wants and needs of others before our own, to stretch our hearts, to learn how to love more, to sacrifice for each other.  Our readings today all challenge us to put others first, "Children, obey your parents in everything...Wives, be subordinate to your husbands...Husbands, love your wives."  Jesus loved us, and so He subordinated Himself to our needs, even to the point of death.  We can practice this kind of love every day, especially in the family!

  • What Child is This

    25/12/2015 Duración: 11min

    Merry Christmas! What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

  • Exterior to Interior

    21/12/2015 Duración: 10min

    4th Sunday in Advent The sacrifices and offerings God asks for in the Old Testament are meant to show forth the interior reality that God's people desire to do His will before their own.  Jesus came physically into the world on Christmas day so that He could live not just next to us, but, ultimately, IN us - in the Eucharist and through the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Amidst the busy-ness of Christmas preparation this year, take time to remember why we do all these external things: to invite and celebrate Jesus' coming into us again this Christmas!

  • The Gift of the Holy Spirit

    13/12/2015 Duración: 09min

    3rd Sunday of Advent We celebrate Gaudete Sunday - "Rejoice" Sunday - this weekend.  What are we joyful about?  That Jesus came and gave us something we could never get on our own, a gift of supernatural power that brings us beyond even the strongest human ability, the gift of the Holy Spirit.  It is only in the Holy Spirit that we find a joy, a peace, a thankfulness that surpasses anything this world can offer.  That's why we rejoice this Sunday, that we already have this gift.  Have you unwrapped it yet?  Come, Holy Spirit!

  • A Highway for Our God

    06/12/2015 Duración: 07min

    2nd Sunday of Advent John the Baptist challenges us in this second week of Advent to be prepared for Christ's coming, to make straight a highway for our God.  God came to this earth because He wanted our hearts, and He'll keep coming until He gets them.  When Jesus comes, will He find the road to your heart smooth-sailing for His holiday travel...or is it going to be a bumpy and windy ride?  What needs to be cleared away?  What needs to be added?  "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths" this Advent season!

  • The Holy Door

    29/11/2015 Duración: 09min

    1st Sunday of Advent Happy New Year!  Today we begin, in the Church, a new liturgical year with Advent - the season of waiting, watching, and praying for the coming of the Lord at Christmas.  Pope Francis has also proclaimed this coming year a Jubilee Year of Mercy, wherein the Holy Door of St. Peter's basilica will be opened.  We are all invited, in spirit, to step through that door  from a life of sin into a life of grace, to recommit ourselves as disciples of Jesus Christ, and, in a special way, to both receive God's mercy in our own lives and to be agents of that mercy in the lives of those around us.  

  • Christ the King

    22/11/2015 Duración: 08min

    Solemnity of Christ the King (34th Sunday in Ordinary Time) This feast is a challenge for us: is Jesus Christ the King of our lives?  And by that I mean, is Jesus Christ the King of EVERY area of our lives:  family life, work life, public life, private life, personal life, mind, body?  Jesus is the King of all, and He wants to be King in your life, but He waits for you to decide.  So will you invite Jesus in today to be the King of your heart?

  • Apocalypse - The Unveiling

    15/11/2015 Duración: 12min

    33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Apocalypse literally means to pull back the veil, to uncover, to see things as they ARE.  When Jesus comes again all things will be unveiled; we will see all things as they are - visible and invisible - and all things will see us as we are - down to our depths.  Sin spiritually disfigures the soul, while grace and virtue makes ordinary people beautiful, strong and attractive at the core. So today we speak and act in such a way that if the Lord called us right now, we would be ready to meet him, unveiled!

  • Adoration Appeal

    08/11/2015 Duración: 12min

    32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus Christ is present, 100% Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist - that's amazing!  And in adoration we get to spend time with this Jesus, one on one; we get to see this Jesus!  We all want God's presence and God's peace in the midst of our busy lives.  Adoration is that opportunity to give ourselves a break, to experience the peace and rest that only God can bring.  You've worked hard - experience peace for a moment, come to adoration.
