Easter Sunday

St. Paul proclaims 20 years after the death and resurrection of the Lord: “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” What has the Lord God given you in your hidden life with Him? Today all Catholic Christians renew their commitment to the Lord through baptism when we die with Christ, and each “I do,” is a renewed commitment to living resurrected life in the Lord Jesus.

Palm Sunday

St. Paul writes that Jesus, in obedience to the will of his Father, doesn’t seek what is comfortable but conforms himself to his imminent suffering and death on the cross. He trusts that his heavenly Father will bring about good from what appears evil.

Fifth Sunday of Lent

Jesus bends over and writes into the dust of the earth, dissipating the chaos and screams swirling around the woman caught in adultery. People will always use others to make their point and win the argument, often out of jealousy, hurt feelings, or pride. Jesus the Word wants to write something completely new in your life.

Third Sunday of Lent

There is a sense of urgency in today’s readings, both in the fig tree being given one more season, and in St. Paul’s reminding us of the insecurity of our personal standing in this world. Repent and convert or face the likelihood of perishing, but also keep in mind that the owner of the garden is also the One who cultivates and prunes that we might come to fruition.

Second Sunday of Lent

The smoking fire pot and burning torch seal the deal in the first covenant with Abraham. The blinding light that knocks Saul down and lovingly sets him on a new path as missionary to the Gentiles, like the Transfiguration of the Lord, reveals the one who from before and within, calls us his sons and daughters.

First Sunday of Lent

“Jesus, after 40 days in the desert,
experienced the temptations we all face yet did not fall. Notice that He cites the bible in his encounter with temptation. Wrestling with pleasure, honor, glory, and wealth pursues us all the days of our life. The three-prong strategy of Lent, prayer, fasting and abstinence, plus almsgiving, however, are keys to discipleship in the Lord.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“From the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks,” reminds me of a guided walk through an obstacle course on a youth retreat. The guide gives verbal instructions to the blindfolded person as the rest of the group together communicate messages that both help and hinder the one who must discern the correct next step.

Feast of the Epiphany

Epiphany is three celebrations in one! First, it celebrates the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles after his birth by the visitation of the three pagan Magi from the East, also known to us as the three kings, who through the virgin Mary encounter Christ for the first time as an infant. This expression of universality was the Christmas celebration of the Eastern or Greek church introduced into the Latin or Roman Rite in the 6th century.

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Next August 8th – 10th, 2025, you are welcome to join us on a pilgrimage to Detroit where the now Blessed Solanus Casey is buried. He arrived for the first time at St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit on December 24, 1896, on a snowy Christmas Eve and was shown to a small room containing a bed, a desk, and a chair. He stretched himself out on the bed and fell fast asleep.

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today the Wisdom of God manifests itself in the community of believers who spent time with Christ Jesus, saw his death, experienced his resurrection and ever since gathered on the resurrection day of the Lord, what we call Sunday, to break the bread, read from the scriptures, and to become the very Lord that they received.

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

We have all known the storms of life: an accident, a chronic illness, a painful separation, an abuse of trust, or a death that tosses us into the dark waters that threaten to overwhelm us. We do have a choice in these situations; we can complain and blame, or we can trust the one who never abandons and calls us through his own life, death, and resurrection to enter the mystery of divine love that suffering breaks open.
