Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
In today’s gospel, Mark draws us in to feel King Herod’s fear when he learns of the miracles being performed by a man named Jesus and hears the crowd saying that this miracle-worker is John the Baptist risen from the dead. Herod was afraid. And he had reason to be afraid.

Strengthening family unity | Why pray?
It’s 2:30 AM. You’ve woken up and you’re not going back to sleep. What do you do? I suggest you try staying calm, not tossing and turning. Breath in and out calmly … and as you breath out say quietly, over and over, “Jesus, I trust in you. Jesus, I trust in you.” For whatever reason you are awake, know that you are not alone! The Lord is with you. I also recommend holding a Rosary in your hand when you sleep. Gently call out to the Lord and to Mary.

When we hear about the man with the unclean spirit, we're told that neither chains nor shackles could hold him, and certainly, no man could restrain him either. At times, we're tempted to think of Jesus as merely a gentle soul. But, in recent gospel readings from Mark, we've seen the authority and power of Jesus defeat evil without trepidation or fear.

Under normal circumstances, reporting to work at 8:30 A.M. on a Saturday would not be on my top ten list of favorite activities - but these are strange times! Not only was I thrilled to see my coworkers in person again, socially distanced of course, the significance of the day was creating an exciting energy! A statue, standing 8 feet tall, was being delivered from Italy - and that statue was to honor the legacy of Father Patrick Peyton.
