Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Bring what you have to Jesus, and He’ll take care of the rest. That’s what today’s gospel reminds us of, and it is something that takes faith. It also causes me to appreciate that Jesus has incredible patience with the first disciples and with us.

Yesterday as I read today’s gospel, I remembered a phrase, something that a friend said to a group of us, that has stayed with me for all these years. We were sitting around talking, probably trying to solve the problems of the world, or at least in our small corner of the world, when the conversation was going in the wrong direction … that’s when one guy said, “Hey, stay in the light!”

As I prayed over today’s readings, two things from last week came to mind. One had to do with clumsiness, and the other, doing for others what God does for us.

It’s hard to believe, but we are on the cusp of Holy Week. So, it’s a good time to take time to think about the Paschal Mystery … how Jesus passed from death to life for us. For the baptized, it’s a time to remember that through this sacrament, we have entered into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We also share in the priesthood of Christ in his prophetic and royal mission.
