Sixth Sunday of Easter
When old ways threaten to stunt the growth of community and dilute the good news of salvation, the Holy Spirit is there to enlighten, enlarge, and broaden our understanding of the faith. The Holy Spirit remains with the church leading and lighting our path keeping us faithful to the sacred traditions and when necessary instituting new ones. ~ Fr. Matt
Fifth Sunday of Easter
Mother Teresa of Calcutta said her mission in life was to cure the worst disease in the world. It wasn’t tuberculosis, leprosy, or even AIDS. The worst suffering in people today are being unwanted, uncared for, unloved. Mother Teresa did her part, are we doing ours? ~ Fr. Matt
Fourth Sunday of Easter
The author of the Book of Revelation faced the fears of persecution and the inability to worship as they wanted. The words of Revelation give us hope. John assures the people of his day and ourselves of the glory to come. The Passover and Victorious Lamb assures us that he will shepherd us into eternal life. Let us remain firm in the faith and undeterred in our Baptismal resolutions. ~ Fr. Matt
Third Sunday of Easter
Whenever we see persecution we can be relatively certain that the persecuted are on the side of the truth. Jesus prepares us for persecution and strife. Jesus the Divine drummer is tapping out the tempo of salvation. God continues to speak to us through the scriptures, sacraments, circumstances, and our everyday experience with people. Will we listen and be transformed? ~ Fr. Matt
