Today is Laetare Sunday – Laetare is Latin for Rejoice.  The Rose color vestments express the anticipated joy of Easter.  The Rose, itself is a symbol for Christ.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her.

Exalt, Exalt with her, ... Read More »

3rd Sunday of Lent

In our 1st reading from Exodus we read about Moses establishing a new life after fleeing from what was his family in Egypt. He is no longer of noble descent but a shepherd tending the sheep of his Father-in-Law Jethro. In other words he had a life changing experience. While ... Read More »

2nd Sunday of Lent

In today’s Gospel Jesus and his disciples go up a mountain. I remember as a kid climbing a mountain with friends, actually it was a hill, but it seemed like a mountain. At first, I found it adventuresome until the other guys began to race to the top and I was struggling ... Read More »

Today is the first of Lent. I like the image of the season of lent as being a time when we ascend the holy mountain of God, a time we are able to rise up to that place of holiness and reconnect with our Lord during this holy season, but if we are ... Read More »

I think James and John are rather presumptuous by telling Jesus we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” Jesus asks: “What do you wish for me to do?” They answer: “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at you left” Jesus replies “you ... Read More »

Today’s readings obviously speak about the permanency of marriage. At the wedding I had this past week the couple said they wanted to get married in Door County because it was their favorite place on Earth. They’re only in their 20’s so I’m guessing they are not world travelers and yet even with their ...

Often times I would say to people: "You are the best"  and I tried to think about where that came from, and then I remembered: 

When I was about 16 years old I was at a family gathering and after doing a favor for my uncle Ed, he said: You’re my favorite ... Read More »

In today’s Gospel, we learn about a man who is deaf and mute. I wonder how many of us ever thought what it might be like not to be able to hear or to speak to anyone? When you are deaf you are deprived of so many things -other people take for granted. ... Read More »
