Daily Reflections

May our needy world be changed by our whole-hearted love as it flows from Jesus through the lives of each of us.

Hospitality and welcome were deep values in his culture, and it’s at the heart of the kingdom of heaven, too. He will welcome us into eternal life with the same care and hospitality.

St. Augustine says that, because we possess a mind and a soul, our higher purpose is to consciously know, love, and belong to the One in whose image we were created.

Everything we have, everything we are, and everything we love began as gift and ultimately returns to God. To remember that is to live with gratitude, humility and reverence before God.

We believe in the Most Holy Trinity…a “mystery” of divine relationship, drawing us into the special, life-giving relationship that is shared with us in the Person of Jesus.

“Build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.”

Christ gave us the greatest example of how to walk through our suffering. May we all be blessed the grace to take up our own cross and carry it through Prayer, Love, and Forgiveness.

In faith and with eyes open, let us walk with each other in peaceful actions to tear down the walls of hatred and injustice. 

We are all called to join the one who did not come to be served but to serve, whose purpose in life was not self-promotion but to empty himself for others.

This Ordinary time calls us to take time to recognize the holiness all around us; in the faces of our children playing at water’s edge, hiking with our friends along Canyon Pass, or celebrating the life and times of a loved one gone before us.
