Above all else, faith is a relationship between God and us, His people. While the faith choice has always been and always will be a personal act of the individual, the content and context of faith is mediated through people. We only need to realize God's presence in the Church and act upon it. Faith gives us the means to say "YES!" to Him. In spite of trouble, God will always be present. In faith, we need only to remain calm with our eyes locked on Him.
Take a moment and reflect on the moments of stress you endured this week. How was God in control of the situation? How was God present to you in those moments? How did you respond to him? Thank him for the opportunity to say "yes" to him, even when the situation made him seem so distant. ... See MoreSee Less

After His Resurrection, it is said that Jesus appeared to an old fisherman. "I am Jesus and I have returned to show God's love and power."
"No, you're not Jesus. Go away! You're scaring all the fish," answered the old fisherman.
"I see you are full of doubt. What would you have me do to show who I am?"
"Walk across the river," the old fisherman tells Jesus. Jesus starts walking across the river, but He sinks and disappears under the water.
After He swims back to shore, the old fisherman says to Him, "See, you're not Jesus. You can't walk on water!"
Jesus responds, "Well, I used to be able to do it, but then I got these holes in my feet!" ... See MoreSee Less

O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially: [state your special intention]. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We entrust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

In today’s Gospel, we remember the miracle of the multiplication of the 5 loaves and the 2 fish. God doesn’t only desire to give us our daily bread as we ask in the Our Father; He desires to give us an abundance of blessings. And these blessings shouldn’t be greedily held onto, but shared with those around us.
Have you ever experienced God taking the little you had and turning it into an abundance? When was the last time you felt close to Christ in the Eucharist? Was there a connection between these two experiences? ... See MoreSee Less

We need to stop with the "bread is not good for you" foolishness. Jesus didn't say, "I am the broccoli of life" or "give us this day our daily kale." No. Jesus is life. Jesus is the Bread of Life. So, therefore, bread is life. ... See MoreSee Less
