Salt and Light: God's saving and shining purposes

I have a few things on my mind that I’d like to share with you this week: the Church Audio Project, coronavirus / flu season, and children.

Return and Renewal: God tabernacles among us

Bringing the matter of challenges back to the surface, I want to write to you briefly about a project many of you have asked me to take on these past few years - the church audio project.

Fishing for People: how God lights up his world.
Find your place in God's plan!

Where did the time go? Our days can pass by in a blur, but our lives need not be unexamined. This is the genius of the nightly examen prayer, which is an important practice for a serious plan of life.

(Extra)Ordinary Time: on tempus per annum

Without focused times for prayer, I wouldn’t be able to get through the day! In your plan of life, bring the details of your life to God in prayer and surrender yourself to him.

Merry Christmas(tide)! the Baptism of the Lord

It can be a challenge to integrate any good spiritual practice into your life, but especially 30 minutes of daily prayer. So, make yourself a plan.

Merry Christmas(tide)! feast of the Epiphany

Engaging the heart: Maybe it can be our collective New Year’s Resolution: by trusting and following Jesus in all things, we will show forth the fruit of the Spirit in our every interaction, and so continue to be a community that makes God known to people who are awaiting his revelation

Merry Christmas(tide)! feast of the Holy Family

Merry Christmas! God-with-us. What more do we want from Christmas than that?

Here Comes Jesus! Advent's fourth Sunday

How hopeful we can be that even today, in our half-prepared hearts, he will take up residence and lead us on – as our newborn king – to embody God’s love for everyone we encounter.

Rejoice! Advent's third Sunday

For paradise we long. For perfection we were made... This longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives. - Neuhaus

Make Way! Advent's second Sunday
