Hope your week was blessed. Jesus’ teaching for this Sunday is not an easy one. But what part of His teaching is easy? On July 6, 2015, a man opened fire at an African American church in Charleston, North Carolina and shot nine people. On February 2,2016, Immaculee Ilibagiza was invited to the same church…
Hopefully your week was holy and warm. While in Poland, I learned a lot about the USA, but since I came here in 2014, I became more interested in this country and its history. (By the way, I think it’s much easier to learn and under-stand the history than to understand what’s going on right now!?) So,…
Hopefully your week was blessed. It’s hard to believe we’re already welcoming February 2022. I thought that we just started the New Year, January of this year is already gone. Hmm… time flies by, doesn’t it. Only one more month and we will begin Lent… just stop Father, that’s enough. Let’s focus on the moment, let’s focus on right now, because God…

Welcome to the 3rdSunday of Ordinary Time. Today’s Gospel presents Jesus’ “inaugural address” in the synagogue of Nazareth and outlines his theology of total liberation, which marks a great moment in Jesus’ ministry. The Scripture readings for today focus our attention to the importance and liberating power of the Word of God as “sacramental,” making God present in our midst. The readings…
Welcome to the season of “epiphanies.” In these days the Liturgy shows us God’s revelation of Jesus as the Messiah to the shepherds, the Magi, King Herod, John the Baptist, and those gathered around John at the Jordan. This week, the first weekend of ordinary time, we are at a wedding where Jesus reveals Divine power by turning water into wine. Pope…
Happy Epiphany Feast! On this first Sunday of the New Year 2022 we come to celebrate The Epiphany of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Greek word Epiphany (επεεεεεεε), means appearance or manifestation. First, the angels revealed Jesus to the shepherds. In the Western Church, the Feast of the Epiphany celebrates Jesus’ first manifestation to the Gentiles, represented by the Magi, while in…
