The Challenge of Easter
The disbelief by the apostles should be an encouragement to us because believing in Jesus’ resurrection is not easy.
Fr. George Smiga
The Battle with the Devil
At the heart of discipleship is the commitment to join in Jesus’ mission, to take up arms against evil.
The Locked Door
God will never lock the door to shut us out. But the circumstances of our life can shut us out, and we can lose the desire to enter.
The Missing Magi
The longer that we live, the more likely it is that something we value will go missing.
A Glorious Ending!
God is not idle. God is active. God is working to direct our lives and our world to a blessed conclusion.
A Gift Only God Can Give
We do not have faith because we are smarter or better than other people. We are simply the people that God has chosen to receive the gift of believing.
Looking for Miracles
Some miracles are constantly present. They are the ones that are easy to overlook.
We Are the Body of Christ
It is not new to say that we need others. But it is new to say that we need every other.
Loving in the Truth
Jesus tells us that life is not primarily about protecting ourselves from hurt, but risking to love in the truth.
Waiting for the Final Gift
Sometimes it is only when we receive the final gift that it becomes clear what our earlier hoping was about.
We Are the Pharisees
Jesus criticizes the Pharisees and us because at times we confuse lesser things with the most important things.
What Mary Placed First
With all the issues Mary had to address, the last thing she needed was a journey to some Judean town in the hill country.
