Daily Reflections

Feasts speak to us of sacred time; Churches are sacred geography. Both help us as we live our daily lives knowing that our world is sacred.

Our faithfulness to the Church and the sacraments should support us in our daily decisions, our charitable acts, and our concern and love for others.

Today, almost daily I read about food insecurity around the globe and find it hard to believe with all the technology and knowledge available, that this insecurity continues into the 21st Century.

The Holy Spirit stands ready to give us the grace we need to deal with the world as it is.

Jesus breaks the social and religious norms of His time, welcoming and showing hospitality to those his community deemed outsiders.

Our witness and involvement as Jesus’ disciples are so needed in both the nitty-gritty of life and in the broader, global reach of leadership and visioning. 

The theme of choosing and making priorities seems to resonate in today’s readings.

Today we remember the “faithful departed”, those who lived just lives and now rest in the hands of God.

Take a moment today to remember the saints in your own life who will never be canonized.

In Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians, Saint Paul seems to be wrestling with remaining on earth and continuing the work that Christ commissioned him to do.
