Fr. George Smiga

When we speak the truth, the demons around us emerge.

We can find ourselves in a standoff with God about who deserves God’s love and mercy.

God may be asking us to be the agent through whom another person recognizes God’s call.

If we wish to be authentic to the life and message of Jesus, we must be non-violent people.

Every experience that God gives us has a purpose, and in time that purpose will emerge.

Simeon had a bucket list, and there was only one thing on it.

Christmas has been difficult, disappointing, and dangerous from the beginning.

Mary’s Annunciation gives us insights into our call as well.

Jesus keeps stretching us to recognize our connection to the least among us.

The challenge of Advent is to ask how will God use the difficult events of 2020 to make something beautiful.

Our concern for those who are in need must extend beyond the circle of our immediate family and friends.
