Crazy Busy!
This past month has been crazy busy, hence, no blog postings since Pentecost. I didn’t share Bob’s last homily because although it was wonderful as usual, it was mostly about me.

Deacon Bob asks, “Do You Know the Good Shepherd?”
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday and I want to start and end with a question that I would like all of us to ponder and that is – do you know Jesus as the Good Shepherd?

Jesu, Ufam Tobie
When I was first asked to contribute to a podcast on Divine Mercy, my first thought was, “How on earth would my experience fit today since my original encounter with Divine Mercy was over 26 years ago? But then keeping up with the news, I kept reading over and over again 2 words that we … Continue reading Jesu, Ufam Tobie
The Domestic Church & An Invitation to Prayer
In Lumen Gentium (11) we’re told: “The family, is so to speak, the domestic church” Today, in our new Coronavirus infected world, the reality that we are the Body of Christ, His Church, and the domestic couldn’t be more true. Although social distancing seems to be forcing us to worship within our homes, many … Continue reading The Domestic Church & An Invitation to Prayer
