Sunday of the Prodigal Son

February 24, 2019 - by Dn. Jeff Smith
Like the prodigal son, we can begin with compassion on ourselves. The lost son finds himself dying with the pigs, but he doesn’t die. Instead, he confronts his wretchedness and remembers his true home. He realizes that he has to get up and move.
 

Extreme Humility and Radical Love

February 10, 2019 - by Fr. Antony Hughes
How can we know we are on the right track? Humility and love. It is simple, 'They will know we are Christians by our love.' But it must be humility and love in its most radical form extending even to our enemies, to those who abuse us and wish us harm, which is no small task.
 

On the Sunday of Zaccheus

January 27, 2019 - by Fr. Antony Hughes

The Light in the Darkness

January 13, 2019 - by Fr. Antony Hughes
Looking inwardly, the Gospel has rich meaning. For the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali are within all of us. There are parts of us that have been scattered, humbled, wounded, and abandoned, who have been cast out and forgotten. The Lord would bring all of them, too, into the light of His loving embrace. This is the point of repentance, of course.
