Recognizing Jesus as Lord of our lives

Jesus is present and revealing himself to us in the kindnesses we receive, in the graces given to us even when we are unaware of them, and even in the struggles we encounter.

On the Sunday after Christmas, we usually celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. Surprisingly, this feast day is relatively new (placed in the calendar officially in 1921) and it was originally celebrated after the Epiphany.
Be a herald and announce the coming Savior

The Visitation Gospel invites us not only to ponder the events that led up to the birth of Jesus at Christmas. It also invites us to think about our response to this annunciation of the good news of salvation.
What shall we do? Rejoice!

Our continuing journey of Advent can seem so brief, and it is hard to imagine that in just over a week we will be celebrating the great feast of Christmas together.
We are God’s coworkers

Last week, we began our short season of Advent together. The season is rather like a journey: a structured time given to us so as to help us prepare for the coming or “advent” of Jesus Christ.
