Valentines Day is about all kinds of love. Lent is about God’s love. Lent is about trading a few nice things for something so much better: a deeper relationship with God. This Lent put God first and learn for yourself that God is worth more. (14 Feb 2018)
A leper was like a corpse; Jesus brought him back to life. God made you for a purpose. We get exhausted when we forget our purpose. Funeral Masses, St. Damian and Care Ministers all help remind us. This Lent let Jesus bring you back to life. (11 Feb 2018)
Jesus knows his purpose. St. Paul knows his purpose. Job eventually comes to appreciate that he has a purpose even if he doesn’t know what it is. Prayer can help us learn our purpose. Do you know your purpose? [AUDIO]
Jesus is the prophet Moses promised. We can have confidence in Jesus: God really loves me, God knows better than I do, and God can bring good out of evil. Have confidence in Jesus and he will teach you how to teach your children. [AUDIO]
What would you say if you had a direct line to God? God is really listening! We should be really talking to God, and really listening too. [AUDIO]
The Magi respond to God’s love with their own gifts of love. At Christmas we receive God’s gift of love; at Epiphany we give back our own gift of love. Let us open our treasures and give God the gift of almsgiving, prayer, and sacrifice. [AUDIO]
We are all responsible for creating a holy family. Today St. Joseph teaches us three keys to fatherhood: obedience, self-sacrifice, and giving your children back to God. If you follow Joesph’s example, your family will be holy too. [AUDIO]
Jesus looks like you and me but he is God’s precious child. Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men realized they too were God’s precious children. I hope as you gaze on the manger scene you will also realize, “I am God’s precious child.” [AUDIO]
Christmas is the birthday of the King of Kings. He leads us, serves us, loves us, and dies for us. His coming depended on just one Yes. Will you follow him, serve him, love him, welcome him? The whole world is waiting for your answer. [AUDIO]
There is no such thing as a perfect tree but maybe it just needs a little love. Christmas is all about God’s love. If we are humble enough to receive God’s love, then we can really start rejoicing. Joy to the World! [AUDIO]
