Walking on Water

from today's Gospel

He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.“Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Matthew 14: 29-31

Lord, help us to remember that we can do all things through You.


Finding The Hidden Treasure

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field ...

In today’s gospel, Jesus likens the kingdom of heaven to “a treasure buried in a field”.  Fr. Jerome, our homilist at Mass this morning, challenged each of us in our parish to a period of self-assessment this week. 

Knowing the Eucharist and the promise of the kingdom of heaven are this life’s greatest treasures, am I ready to make the sacrifices and take the decisive action necessary in my life... READ MORE 


Pearl of Great Price

from today's Gospel

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
—Matthew 13:45-46

Lord, give us grace to know the value of heaven and to willingly sacrifice to attain it.

Bearing Witness

How do you answer the knock on your door?

Earlier this morning, I was going about my usual Saturday morning routines when I heard the dog suddenly go crazy with barking in the driveway. We live in a pretty secluded spot and don’t get many unexpected visitors here, so the sight of a large white SUV heading down the long gravel driveway got him pretty worked up.

By the time the car parked and three well-dressed gentlemen made their way up... READ MORE 


Paul According to Paul

From June 2008 to June 2009, the Church celebrates the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of St. Paul. We offer a sketch of his life in his own words.

The Last Apostle

“I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures; that he appeared to Cephas [Peter], then to the Twelve.

“After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though... READ MORE
