Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Growing up in Quincy, MA, St. Patrick’s Day was a source of great pride. What makes it interesting is that my Dad is of English descent and my Mom, Irish. Fortunately, my Dad embraced not only St. Patrick’s Day but more importantly the Catholic faith that has been an important part of my Mom’s family for generations. So, you can imagine my shock when I learned that St. Patrick wasn’t born in Ireland. And, as incredible as that might be, what if I were to tell you, this patron saint of Ireland was born in Great Britain?

"If you are willing and obey you shall eat the good things of the Lord." The Lord had a lot to say in both Scripture readings today, including telling us that we shall eat the good things of the Lord. To secure these good things: hope, happiness, joy, and peace, He asks us to be willing, and to have ears to hear.
