Healing of the man born blind is a reminder that our disabilities whether physical or spiritual is an opportunity for God to manifest his power and love.     ~ Fr. Matt

We look at the wanderings of the Biblical people.  They were all on a purposeful journey, answering the invitation of God. Is our Lenten journey this year filled with purpose? Do we have something that we expect of ourselves?  How do we touch other’s lives ?       ~ Fr. Matt

Henry David Thoreau said the majority of people live lives of quiet desperation. It means an empty life caused by unfulfilling work, lack of leisure time, and misplaced values in money, possessions, and accolades. Lent is at time to turn us around and follow the genuine path of Jesus Christ.        ~ Fr. Matt

The scriptures invite us to lay claim to live in love. We cannot control others but we can choose how to respond to them. In celebrating the Eucharist we say yes!       ~ Fr. Matt

Today the words of the Beatitudes invite us to consider our dependence on God. He is the supreme authority. We need to find the source of our identity in him.         ~ Fr. Matt               

Jesus chooses to start his ministry in  Galilee  that had a history of being downtrodden, insignificance and gloomy outlook. We face this everyday. Let in the light and hopefulness that Jesus brings.      ~ Fr. Matt

The call, consecration, and commission of Jesus’ life is found in our own Baptism. The call to be the servant – savior is our personal outgrowth of our relationship with Jesus.    ~ Fr. Matt

Mary is believer and disciple. She carries the treasures of her experience in her heart. Let us begin the New Year with the same hope and dedication.     ~ Fr. Matt

In the Word Incarnate God speaks the language of our flesh and blood, in the pulsing of our needs and aspirations, and even the shadows of our sinful darker side. Let us make this Christ Event alive in our hearts and homes .      ~ Fr. Matt

Carl Sandburg said that a baby is  God’s  opinion that the world should go on. Through Jesus’ saving word, cross, and bread, God continues to be with us.    ~ Fr. Matt
