Fr. George Smiga

Light does not necessarily lead to faith. For all the brightness of the light, faith is never inevitable.

Peace is not a gift, but a project we can achieve together with God.

The parable of the Good Samaritan reminds us that life comes both as a surprise and a gift.

The gospel is about fruit and fire. The fruit comes from us. The fire comes from God.

The peace that Jesus offers us is a moveable peace which we can give and take back again without being broken.

If we are followers of Christ, we are called to be optimists.

Our faith might be the size of a mustard seed but we are not an isolated plant. We are a Church, a part of a community of believers.

Jesus cautions us that the excess gifts that we keep for ourselves are not an advantage, but a liability.

When we find ourselves in circumstances where it is impossible to do what God asks of us, we must make the best decision we can.

The disbelief by the apostles should be an encouragement to us because believing in Jesus’ resurrection is not easy.
