New Horizons

God's Tender Love

Jesus reveals to us the Father, who is always faithful and always cares fro us as we live the Christian life.  The God who was with Jeremiah, and the Twelve Apostles, will also remain at our side to care and protect us always.

Heirs to the Kingdom

Jesus consecrates us and calls us to share in the royal dignity of the Kingdom of Heaven.  At our baptism we are anointed with sacred chrism and share in the life of Christ, priest, prophet and king.  Like the Apostles in the Gospel this weekend, we are called to proclaim to all that "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Corpus Christi: The Feast of God's Presence

God accompanies us on our pilgrimage home to eternal life.  He provides for us, protects us and helps us to cooperate with Him so that we can persevere on our way home to Him.

Necessity and Contingency

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, God who reveals Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the history of our salvation is identical with the way and the means that God reveals Himself.  We seek to embrace that revelation and live out our salvation fully in Christ.

Pentecost: Which Outpouring?

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost, the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  We see this outpouring in the Acts of the Apostles, in St. John's Gospel, and in a multitude of remarkable ways in the New Testament and in the life of the Church.  May we be receptive to this awesome gift of God's own life, welcome it and put into practice the inspirations that God gives to us.
