Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Christmas is put away for another year. Our modern world is on ordinary time until Valentine's Day. But it's Epiphany now. Our almost secret celebration until our Ordinary Time nudges in for a bit before Lent. With few watching, Epiphany declares the wisdom of adoration. Maybe it is good that the world has moved on. Maybe it allows more space for quiet. A little reflection and longing.

Today we celebrate the memorial of Saint (Brother) André Bessette (1845–1937), the humble brother who was known as the "Miracle Man of Montreal” and who became the Congregation of Holy Cross’ first canonized Saint on October 17, 2010, in St. Peter’s Square in Rome. Like St. Therese of Lisieux, Brother André would humbly touch countless souls without leaving his city, first as doorkeeper of Notre Dame College in Montreal, then at the trolley station, and ultimately at the Oratory of St. Joseph that he helped build.
