Fr. George Smiga

The promise of Christmas is that God will give us the strength to travel difficult paths that we would rather avoid.

Christmas comforts the challenged, but it also challenges the comfortable.

Because we never have the whole truth, we should lean towards grace and mercy.

John the Baptist calls us to add something new to our holiday plans.

Our justice must hold people accountable, but God’s justice always leans towards mercy.

The story of the widow of Nain does not promise us a miraculous resuscitation, but assures us that Jesus sees us and knows our suffering and loss.

We can choose to give purpose to our hardships by directing them for the sake of the gospel

True wealth is using money with others in mind, leveraging our profits for the good of all.

We should face what is wrong in our lives and not look away.

We have the right to seek what we want. But we must make room for others who also have that right.
