Daily Reflections

If we begin and end with love, we are assured that we have covered all of our obligations.

We are personally invited by Jesus to regularly share at the table of the Eucharist and to lives of service to those in special need. 

In today’s gospel, Jesus encourages us to exercise such generosity. In such ways, the reign of God is made manifest. 

All Souls Day is traditionally the third day of All Hallowtide—right after Halloween and All Saints’ Day.

On this feast of All Saints, we lift our eyes to heaven — not just to remember the formally canonized saints, but to recognize the countless faithful who have reflected God’s light in quiet, hidden ways.

Jesus by even being there, demonstrates once more the extraordinary dimensions of his ‘boundary breaking’ ministry...

Did some of the Pharisees come openly out of care to warn Jesus?

But if I am humble enough to realize that I need God to have the wisdom and the fortitude to enter through the “narrow gate,” I may be less ready to pass judgment on others.

Saints Simon and Jude, give us wisdom and strength as we seek to spread Jesus’ message of peace and hope so desperately needed in our time and place.

Imagine if all that is holy to us, all that we have been trained in, all that seems to give our life meaning and purpose is upturned by Jesus.
