A reflection on the Our Father, a prayer intimacy taught to us by Jesus...

At the Jesus Explosion Conference in Trinidad & Tobego, we consider how walking in the saving love of Jesus day by day, enables us to carry the heart of Jesus for others -- the love of heaven for others -- which makes evangelization Holy Spirit inspired & empowered.

In Luke 10, we hear of Jesus telling his disciples to "rejoice because your name is written in heaven."  We consider this powerful statement, what it means for us and how we can continue to share the Lord's powerful healing love more intentionally wherever we are sent...

In a sit-down conversation, Shelia Jordan Pope & Fr. Patrick recount the remarkable story of the healing of Shelia from complete deafness in her right after an 11:00am mass at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Detroit.  This wonderful healing has been medically confirmed and Shelia & Fr. Patrick happily recount the story for the glory of God...may it inspire you to fall more in love with God (maybe for the first time) and to pursue what is truly possible in the Christian life!

A brief reflection from the 8:30am mass at Old St. Mary's in Greektown on the gift of the Eucharist and the power of Eucharistic devotion...

On Trinity Sunday, we reflect on God:  Father, Son & Holy Spirit, and our lives as Christians in relationship with the three persons of the Trinity.

On Pentecost Sunday we embrace the aspects of divine life, guidance and overflow that permeated the first discples, and every disciple pursuing life in the Holy Spirit ever since...

We dig into the words of Jesus: "whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him." (John 14:23)

In Revelation 21:5, we read:  The one who sat on the throne said, "behold, I make all things new."  In this reflection, we consider the transformative power of God's grace that is bringing this newness into being as we live life in the Spirit.

We look at the incredible gift of hearing the voice of Jesus, who promised us..."My sheep hear my voice" (Jn 10:27) 

On the feast of Divine Mercy, the devotion to Divine Mercy is considered, along with a powerful testimonial and practical tips for growing in mercy.

As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we consider the essence of our lives as disciples who share in the very divine life of the resurrected Jesus.

At a healing service hosted by Our Lady of Hope Parsh, the power of Jesus to heal and the amazing outpouring of the Holy Spirit in these days of The New Evangelization is recounted, celebrated and INVITED!

At a Laetare ("Rejoice!") Lenten praise fest at St. Alfred's in Taylor, we consider living the reality Jesus points us to in John 15:11, "I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete."

In the Transfiguration, the divinity of Jesus shown forth brightly!  By God's grace, our living participatino in the life of God's love is meant to shine His light brightly in this world...

In the temptation in the desert (Luke 4), Jesus gives us a blueprint to follow for victory over temptations...

As the season of Lent begins, Jesus invites us into a reconciliation of accounts and a renewal in identity...

"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is in the Lord.  He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream..."(Jeremiah 17:7-8) 

In His hometown synagogue Jesus declared "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me." The Holy Spirit has been poured into us (Romans 5:5), making us the mystical body of Christ on earth.  The Lord is inviting us in these days of the New Evangelization to consider what we carry and what is truly possible as anointed sons and daughters of God...

The wedding feast at Cana points us to the eternal wedding feast that we are blessed to enjoy even now...
