February 26, 2017.mp3 Today Fr. Gerry focuses on the Readings. Isaiah assumes a mother can never forget her child. God our Father never forget any of us either. But, we sometimes feel maybe God has abandoned us when we face extreme hardship. But, God doesn't divert these troubles. Rather, He walks with us. We just tend to turn to Him when all else has failed. Worry doesn't serve us, yet still we worry.

February 19, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry continues the theme of following law and explores Jesus' challenge to love our enemies. (Matthew 5:38-48) Jesus did it Himself. Retaliation is not the Christian way. The antidote to anger is love. What happens when I stand in the way of evil or in the way of those opposing me? Rather than retaliate, try showing the way of love and find peace.

February 12, 2017.mp3 Matthew 5:17-37 is instruction for achieving righteousness and reconciliation. Fr. Gerry asks everyone, "Why did you come here to Mass today?" All the Readings for this Sunday are reflective of law. There are different stages of living with the law. But, ultimately the law is an invitation to relationship and love with God. It gives us freedom and we must make our choices.

February 5, 2017.mp3 Reflecting on today's Gospel Matthew 5:13-16, Fr. Gerry explains how we can be salt and light in our very own community today. The purpose of our coming together as community in our Eucharistic Celebrations is to be renewed and strengthened by Him. Then, we go forth and put it into practice during the week.

Brace yourself — ordinary time is coming. During Lent, the cross is front of mind. During Easter, we sometimes let it slip into the background. During Ordinary Time, the cross comes back as the one thing that holds everything in life together. Here’s the “ordinary” role of the Cross during this season. ... See MoreSee Less

At first, I felt only joy, but gradually I began to feel in my heart as though something was missing. An emptiness which the flowers, the sun, and the soft breeze could not yet seem to fill.Comment on Facebook

Who is "The Gate of Heaven?" Mary is called by this title, though Jesus says, "No one comes to the Father except through me." This can cause confusion, but Professor of Mariology Mark Miravalle says, "Satan loves when people think they have to choose Jesus or Mary." ... See MoreSee Less

Is Jesus the gate of heaven or is Mary? Both can be true at the same time, and rather than cancel each other out, they enhance each other.Comment on Facebook

When someone talks about the Holy Spirit, does your mind automatically jump to Protestantism or charismatic worship? Has the term accidentally become a signal of something that’s “not for you”?
