The love of Jesus Christ is truly the Sonshine of our souls...continuously being poured into us through the gift of the Holy Spirit. "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" Jesus famously taught at The Last Supper. (Jn 13:34) It's in receiving His love we're empowered to pour out His love as we journey one day at a time to the et…

"Jesus revealed Himself" St. John writes in 21:1. Shortly after this revelation, Peter was healed of his three-fold betrayal with a three-fold profession of love for Jesus.

When the woman caught in adultery experienced the healing love of Jesus, a new life began for her.

In Exodus 3 and Moses encounter with God, we read that Moses "hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God." (Ex 3:6) As his relationship with God grew, we later hear Moses say to God, "you have said to me you are my intimate friend, you have found favor with me" and "do let me see your glory!" (Ex 33:12;18) As we gaze on the glory of Jesus looki…

As Abraham gazed up at the stars, He was assured by God that what God has said to Abraham would indeed come to pass. Abraham "put his faith in the Lord who attributed it to him as an act of righteousness." (Gen 15:6) In the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor, Jesus gives us a beautiful glimpse of the life of holiness that all who put thier faith in Him a…

In Luke 6:27-38, we come to some of the teaching of Jesus that is certainly not easy to live out consistently: love of enemies, giving mercy, refraining from judgement and condmenation of people, and radical generosity. Considering the love God has for us and the power of God's love within us, we can experience and say with renewed passion: your wa…

Just a few days away from Christmas, we meditate on The Visitation between Blessed Mother Mary and St. Elizabeth.

On Gaudete Sunday, 2024, we begin with Paul...writing words of stunning love to the Church in Philippi during one of his imprisonments. Paul's mysticism leads us to a deeper appreciation of the overwhelming prophecy of love issued in chapter three of Zephania. Finally, for the nine days leading up to Christmas, we're invited into A Novena of Glory …

From Saul to Paul. From persecuting the Church to dying for it. St. Paul's magnificent conversion and transformation is highlighted by the deep mystical encounters he had with Christ...even to the point of writing explicitly of "the affection of Christ Jesus." (Phil 1:8) At the well of prayer on our Advent journey, we experience this affection that…

In Chapter 11 of the Book of Numbers, we read the story of Moses being told to gather 70 elders of the people and to bring them to The Meeting Tent, a spot where "the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face." (Ex 33:11) After being touched by God, the 70 elders begin to prophesy. We consider in this homily how we too have been touched by God as te…

In Mark 9:33-37, we see a beautiful instance of Jesus taking time to correct the incorrect thinking of His apostles...giving them wisdom.
