The flesh  is the hinge of salvation.  Caro Cardo Salutis.  Easter teaches us that God is not simply transcendent or from above.  He has come in flesh and blood of humanity so that we can associate ourselves with sharing in his resurrection.  We are the children of God living with promise of everlasting life.           ~ Fr. Matt

In the crossbeams we see life and death, sin and salvation, conquest and victory, immanence and transcendence.  We see the most base aspects of the human condition and the most sublime of our humanity.  Let us contemplate this while we hold the palm branches.         ~ Fr. Matt

John’s gospel has only seven miracles.  The emphasis of each, on our part is a deeper belief in Jesus.  Every miracle reveals the greater glory of God.  All that we experience is for the glory of God.  Allow the Divine to work within us during the deprivation of public Eucharistic celebrations.     ~ Fr. Matt

We are called to reflect on the challenges and obstacles of our spiritual movement. We are capable of overcoming that which keeps us from the wholeness of our destiny. ~ Fr. Matt
