Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Yesterday, Father Boby John using the gospel account of the disciples being tossed about at sea, encouraged us to follow their lead and awaken Jesus for our own needs in prayer.

This past weekend, I came upon a soccer game on the field behind the Father Peyton Center. From a distance, I couldn’t tell who was playing, whether they were high school or college players, so I walked closer and asked a man standing behind the net intently watching the game. Often, we see or hear things that we’re not sure about, then seek answers. Today’s saint, Justin, the martyr, was searching for how a human being could come to know God. For to love and serve God, first must know Him.

Last Sunday, a newly ordained transitional Deacon, Brian Connors began his homily by quoting Jesus’ words, "Peace be with you." Deacon Brian said that anyone who knew him would understand how much he needed Jesus’ reassurance as he gave his first homily at his home parish.
