The Second Sunday of Lent takes us on a pilgrimage with Jesus, Peter, James, and John on the High Mountain of Transfiguration and God invites us to listen to Him- to listen to one of the most profound proclamations of God to His Son: “This is my beloved Son, listen to Him.”

On Ash Wednesday, we have begun the 40-day pilgrimage of Lent in which we join and imitate Jesus in the desert and ponder the fruits of what He learned and experienced there upon His return.

On the last Sunday of this part of the Ordinary Time before Lent, the Gospel brings us to the end of the Sermon on the Mount. The message from today’s readings, in a very meaningful way, offers us a great opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season of Lent- the season of penance, reconciliation, and renewal with a universal call to holiness.

Stewardship Renewal Weekend of Time, Talent and Treasure “It is time for change in our lives. What are you willing to do about it?”

Today we continue our reflection on the teaching of Jesus called the Sermon on the Mount. Last week, Jesus introduced His vision- the “blueprint” of His mission proclaimed in the Beatitudes.

This Sunday, our journey through the Gospel of Matthew brings us to the beginning of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount. This is the most famous Sermon ever preached and the most famous teaching from the Gospel of Matthew.

Jesus begins His public ministry immediately after John the Baptist was arrested. Today’s readings teach us that Our Lord has come to bring us light, liberty, and unity.

After the joyful festivities of the Christmas Season, we entered Ordinary Time in the life of the Church.

Today we celebrate the great Feast of Epiphany. The celebration of Epiphany, meaning "manifestation," commemorates the coming of the Magi as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.

Today a new year begins and the Christmas Octave concludes with the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. We begin the new year celebrating the generosity and fiat of Mary that made her the Mother of God.

Today, together with the entire world, we celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is so close we can touch it!  The joy of Christ's coming is already warming our hearts!  But our Lord wants our hearts to get even warmer!

Today the Church celebrates "Gaudete” Sunday, the Sunday of Rejoicing.

Our spiritual journey of the Second Sunday of Advent takes us alongside the banks of the Jordan River.

The first Sunday of Advent brings us to the celebration of the new liturgical year.

On the last Sunday of each liturgical year, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe.

The liturgical year draws to an end. Advent is just around the corner. And today’s readings highlight our call to be holy.

As we near the end of the liturgical year, in today’s Gospel we hear Jesus’ own words about resurrection.

The basic message of all of today’s three scripture readings is about receiving God’s life-changing love, about receiving and accepting the presence, power, and love of God that leads to forgiveness and change of hearts.

In the Gospel for this Sunday, St. Luke tells us that Jesus "addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else."
