Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
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.

The blood of hundreds of saints has been painted in royal red to commemorate their martyrdom. Other saints painted in shining gold were brilliant miracle workers, eloquent preachers, or attractive missionaries. Hundreds of saints are pictured with pen, scroll, ruler, or book because they were great teachers, scientists, or founded schools, monasteries, or hospitals. Many saints were authors of great books that are still read by thousands today.

I have to tell you; there was quite a competition about who would have the honor of celebrating this Mass on St. Patrick’s Day. It was only settled by a DNA test showing I had the closest connection to St. Patrick, but not how you’d think.
