THE HEART OF THE FATHER
Let’s dare to place our trust in the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love and mercy of a Father who constantly pursues our hearts.

WHAT WOULD I ASK JESUS ON FACEBOOK LIVE?
I am not waiting for the Resurrection. I am trying to remind myself that I am living in it each day.
A BEAUTIFUL HUNGER
Lord, fill our empty nets. Help us listen to You, directing our efforts. Let us hasten to feed one another.
PEACE BE WITH YOU
We can not go back to the way things were, but we can go forward into an unknown as a people of faith.
DOES GOD TAKE BACK GIFTS?
We don’t own the Resurrection. We surrender to it, and let the Resurrection hold and transform us.
TOGETHER APART
Each of us share the comfort of being in the same God’s embrace, remaining “strong” in our own desire to be close to God, and finding “peace” therein.
KEEP ME SAFE, O GOD
It’s during this Lenten season that I am reminded of Easter and of God’s love for me through Jesus.
THE GIFT OF BELIEVING
Believing is a gift we receive, not something we can achieve. It is also meant to be shared.
OUR CROSSES
To venerate my own crosses, to let my salvation hang on them, to find Jesus hiding in them, is the task I feel prodded toward this year.
HUMBLE AND BEAUTIFUL
In this time of social distancing, let us ask ourselves, “How can we wash one another’s feet without actually touching?”
CHOOSING COURAGE
The root of the word courage is “cor” the Latin word for heart. What if courage meant digging deeper into our heart and staying true to what is there, pleasant or not?
ESSENTIALLY HUMAN
I am reminded in a most simple way that each of us is human first…our existence as vulnerable living organisms precedes everything else, uniting us as a species.
GOING INTO HIDING
Perhaps this is a time when we don’t need Jesus to give us strength; perhaps this is a time when we need Jesus to give us weakness.
FULFILLING THE COVENANT
What can I offer up as a deeper sacrifice on behalf of others in this time of great suffering?
QUARANTINED FREEDOM
Our choice is not to focus on the narrow, but to narrow our focus. The gate that leads to life is not about restriction. It is about an entry into the expansive.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
In our isolation, might God be inviting us to a love that’s greater than the pandemic that seizes the heart of every person today?
HE CALLS ME OUT
While we often find ourselves waiting for him in times of suffering and uncertainty, the Father waits for us.
PRAYER IN DARK TIMES
From Jesus’ prayer in the garden, we learn how we too can pray in a dark time.
