Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

When St. Paul tells the Corinthians that we should treat this world as passing away, it can really seem like a downer.  But we are being asked to see the world around us as it truly is, which is to look past the veil which hides the truth.  This truth is that we, each and … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Our first reading this Sunday, from the 1st Book of Samuel, shows us a moment in his life as a little boy, when God first taught him how their interactions should begin.  First, God calls Samuel by name, and Samuel doesn't understand Who he is hearing call out to him.  Once he realizes it was … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

In the Baptism we have received, each of us was touched by God's blessing in that moment.  More than that, we are brought into God's Life, to live forever in that blessing of His presence in our lives.  This is much more than a moment, because it is a beginning of a new life. In … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Today is called Epiphany Sunday because it is the day in which Christ's birth is revealed to the world by the Magi who came to honor Him.  These three people were the only ones who saw the signs and understood them according to what the prophet Micah had foretold: Herod inquired of them where the … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

My favorite part of the Christmas season has always been time with family.  I'm sure many of you feel the same, and long for that time even more this year.  As we continue on doing the best we can, we are reminded this week of the importance that family plays in our lives. On this … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, we celebrate Peace.  In our readings today, this is brought forth by remembering what God had done for the Israelites up to the rule of King David, giving them rest from the many conflicts with their enemies.  In Mary's life, we see this come to fulfillment in the Peace … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

This Sunday is called Gaudete Sunday, which is taken from a line in St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians: gaudete in Domino semper or in English, rejoice in the Lord always.  This line began to be used in the Mass for the 3rd week of Advent because of the emphasis on the nearness of the … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

As we begin our Advent journey, we are reminded once by Luke to be watchful. As in all the other passages about readiness and watchfulness, this one has to do with the suddenness of the Lord's coming. But in our context, this one is different. Christ speaks about His return, but we are looking forward … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

In our culture, we generally don't have a great love of royalty.  Some of this may come from learning about the origins of our nation, because we may see every king the way we see King George III.  We may also simply have a love for democracy, so monarchies don't make much sense to us.  … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin
