Epiphany of the Lord
The Epiphany is not just about the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Disbelief, rejection, and persecution of the future ministry of Jesus are foreshadowed in this event. ~ Fr. Matt
Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
When we take the ordinary for granted, we may treat our family with contempt or forgetfulness or with a hard heart incapable of forgiveness. Through these celebrations may we perceive the mystery of godliness in our family life. ~ Fr. Matt
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Advent gently but deeply stirs our minds and hearts. The Holy Spirit reaches us through our thoughts and intuitions. We need to bring forth our talents and dreams with excellence and energy. Thus shall we serve Christ in our world. ~ Fr. Matt
Third Sunday of Advent
Today is Gaudete Sunday. We are half way through the Advent season. James encourages us to be patient. He states that four times in the second reading. God is patient with us, may we be patient with others and ourselves. ~ Fr. Matt
