Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

In St. John's First Letter, we see something come up that we often say, but might easily miss the importance of - that Christ is.  There are many times that we say Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, or that He is risen, or that He is the Lamb of God.  St. John puts it this way today: He is expiation for our … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Divine Mercy Sunday has only been celebrated since 2000. It seems incredible that such a Feast, especially one during the Easter season, could be so new. But, of course, it is based upon the messages St. Faustina received from Christ in the 1930's. Because it is so new, today's Feast may seem to be less … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

When Christ rose from the dead, why did He do this when no one was around?  This was a question I struggled with for a long time.  I even came to some practical answers that would satisfy my curiosity.  Maybe none of them were expecting it, so they weren't around.  Maybe too many of them … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

The Gospel passage we read when we process into the church on Palm Sunday has quite a few background characters in it.  We don't really know who all of the people were who laid down palms branches in front of Jesus, or who the owner of the donkey was, or which disciples He sent to … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

A study of the Prophet Jeremiah by Henry Fuseli The Prophet Jeremiah brings us God's promise of the New Covenant that was coming, and is now here in Jesus Christ.  In the passage we read this week, it would be easy to mistake this promise as being one made to the Israelites alone.  But what … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Our passage from John's Gospels this week is a familiar one; we all know "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son..."  But this passage is at the very center of St. John's theme of Light and darkness, which defines this Gospel.  Without this story of how Nicodemus approaches Jesus, we … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

In today's Gospel reading, when Jesus tells the people in the Temple area about building the Temple in three days, He is trying to tell them about how God actually accomplishes things: “Destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it up.”... But He was speaking about the Temple of His Body.  Therefore, … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

There is a seemingly strange line in today's Gospel about Jesus not knowing what to do.  When Peter, James, and John went up the mountain with Jesus, they were so amazed at seeing Elijah and Moses there, they offered to build three tents for them.  At this point, St. Mark tells us that Jesus didn't … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

The cleansing of our souls in Baptism is something that God showed us in various ways, long before Jesus called us to go out and do this for others.  As St. Peter reminds us today, we see Baptism prefigured in Noah and his family.  When he tells us this, he is trying to show us … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin

Have you ever had a child ask you to help them with something?  Maybe it was to tie their shoe, pour a glass of milk, give them a push on the swing.  In that moment, didn't it make you feel like the most important person in the world?  What was the child thinking and feeling?  … Continue reading Weekly Reflection with Father Kevin
