The Promise of the Holy Spirit
May 22, 2022
The Holy Spirit is promised and given. The Spirit is to teach us and to remind us. The Spirit is sent by the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. All of this is the truth stated in today’s Gospel. This Advocate is to be our companion as we navigate our lives in these times. […]
God’s Dwelling is with His People
May 15, 2022
When we are looking at our calendar, what do we focus on? Where are we spending our time? When we are searching the internet, where have the last ten searches taken us? This tells us where we are spending our valuable time. For some, it might be places to visit, golf courses to play. I […]
Voice Recognition
May 8, 2022
Today the Gospel reminds us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. The sheep of His flock recognize His voice. It is because they recognize that voice that they follow Him. We live in a world of voice technology. We can speak to our phones, to our remotes and even to Alexa and other voice technology […]
Feeding After We Have Been Fed
May 1, 2022
It is after finishing a meal cooked by the Risen Savior that the invitation is given. Jesus pulls Peter aside and invites him to feed and tend to His flock. In my life, I have been a part of a lot of fundraising projects. The routine has usually been to feed potential donors well and […]

What takes place over the Sacred Three Days of the Triduum is a celebration so great, so powerful, so life-changing that the mystery of death and resurrection, the meaning of our very existence is presented to us in sign and symbol. The […]
It Is All About The First Stone
April 3, 2022
There has always been something about that first stone. It seems throughout history there is something about the first throw, the first shot, the first punch. In baseball, there is sometimes a ceremony about the first pitch. After that pitch, the game begins. In Lexington and Concord, they speak of the shot heard around the world that […]
What Directions Are We Going? And What Direction is God Going?
March 27, 2022
Whenever we find ourselves running, we must ask a question, are we running towards something, or away from something? In the Gospel, we hear a story we can all tell by heart. The prodigal son resonates deeply with many. It is a parable that invites us to be drawn in by two sons, by jealousy, by conversion, […]
