As we look back on the story of the Epiphany, let us remember who called, guided, and revealed Himself to the Magi: God. The story is God-driven from the first verse. Let us not forget God Himself calls us from the surface experience of daily living to seek something higher, something deeper, something greater. In God, we find someone to give our hearts, our minds, and our lives to. We find the goal of our quest.

We've all had a New Year's Resolution that we abandoned by the end of the month or two, that is, if it even lasted a week.
Have you ever tried instead, picking a Word, Saint, or Scripture verse for the year? It's a great way to refocus on the Lord throughout the year. Pick a saint who you will call upon to intercede for you all year. Hang a Scripture passage somewhere in your home as a reminder of the Lord's Presence daily. Choose a word that will theme your prayer or your attitude for the year. Take it to prayer today and ask the Lord what your focus should be this year. Happy New Year! ... See MoreSee Less

How long does your family celebrate Christmas?
We've got the Octave of Christmas (which we are still in), the 12 days of Christmas (ending on Epiphany), or do you keep celebrating until Candlemas (the Presentation of the Lord) on February 2?
However long you choose to celebrate the birth of our Savior, I hope you remember the reason for the season - that Jesus comes first and foremost before any secular celebration during this time of year! ... See MoreSee Less

How have your post-Christmas experiences been? Have you been left exhausted after all the decorating, baking, celebrating, shopping, wrapping, and various other stressors of the holiday season?
May I remind you of the upheaval the Holy Family experienced after the birth of Jesus - fleeing for their safety to another country. If the Holy Family can find God's will in a stressful time, so can you. Review this holiday season. Place your joys and sorrows before the Lord. How did you see God working with you this past season? How is He working with you now? ... See MoreSee Less

Why do we celebrate Christmas? It is more than the birth of Jesus. It is a celebration of God with us. It is the realization that God's love and faithfulness dwells among us. It is a sign that we are to carry that love and faithfulness to others. We have an awesome God who sent us an awesome Savior. He lives with us now!
Merry Christmas! ... See MoreSee Less
