On this sacred night, we enter into the upper room with Jesus to enter deeply into the mystery of the Triduum and His saving passion for us...

At the Living Stations of the Cross at Emmanuel Catholic Church, a reflection on The Passion of Jesus as we enter into Holy Week...

In John 11, we experience the stunning words of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." (Jn 11:25-26)  Demonstrating His power to raise the dead, Jesus calls Lazarus out of his grave.  It's epic to say the least!  And so is the raising from death that happens in the gift of baptism. (Rom 6:4)

After the man born blind was healed by Jesus, he was blessed to come to faith in Christ and worshipped Him. (Jn 9:38)  Worship is a beautiful act of prayer and an encounter with God.  We consider herein a particular form of worship that helps us to experience the divine "I love you" from God.

Meditating on Jesus cleansing of the temple, we grasp that as members of His Body, Jesus has a great passion for our lives as well.  Remembering what God revealed to St. Paul, "God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work." (Phil 2:13) we consider how the passion of Jesus manfiests by blessing us with the graces of holy desires in our lives.

The light of faith changes how we think. This reflection is a gaze into the heart and mind of Abraham, through the Word of God, as he endured the test of offering his son Isaac as a sacrifice...

The lovely testimony of Sandra, who received wonderful healing in her body during a healing service, praise you Jesus!

From the Renewal of the Mind Radio Program, Fr. Patrick and John dive into what Jesus teaches us in the desert about how to overcome temptation...

Beginning our Lenten journey on Ash Wednsday, the grace of God is powerfully at hand to lead us into the mystical desert of Lent and a deep transformative union with God therein...

When a leper came to Jesus, completely vulnerable and placing his life in the hands of Jesus (Mk 1:40-45), the compassion of Jesus met the leper in the midst of his brokenness...

At the beginnings of the powerful public ministry of Jesus (Mark 1), the disciples find Jesus early in the morning in prayer.  A divine set-up was on, as Jesus was intent on teaching His disciples about how to do ministry from a place of union...that it all starts in prayer.

The wonderful healing testimony of Petr, who was suprised by the healing Jesus gave to his hands, praise you Jesus!  (**Petr's neck was also healed following his testimony, thank you Lord!)

The lovely healing testimonies of Renata and Itca who were healed of long term knee and foot issues....while standing at a standing room only healing service in Prague, praise you Jesus!

At the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, St. John the Baptist witnessed the heaven's open, the Spirit descend upon Jesus and heard God the Father declare from heaven the truth of the identity of Jesus Christ.  With a heart on fire, John began to proclaim about Jesus...behold the Lamb of God! With every ounce of our being, we're invited into the fire of divine love in the Holy Spirit that leads us to proclaim Jesus to the world.

"You shall be radiant at what you see...your heart shall throb and overflow." (Is 60:5)  The divinely inspired words of the prophet Isaiah illumine for us the joyful mystery the Magi entered into when in encountering Christ...the mystery of being bathed in the divine radiance of God.

On  the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God, we meditate on the love of Mary's passionate heart to better understand how treasuring all these things (of God) in our hearts too will continue to enkidle passionate love for Christ in our lives...

On the Feast of the Holy Family, a final homily at Corpus Christi Parish...

A Christmas Eve meditation on the birth of Jesus Christ...

On the Second Sunday of Advent, we read the words of St. John the Baptist, "one mightier than I is coming after me...He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."  By grace, a holy hunger and thirst is kindled in us as we travel towards Christmas knowing a new immersion in God is awaiting us...

Into the beautiful season of Advent, a meditation on preparing our heart for the coming of Christmas...
