Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 21st Week of the Year
Life is filled with distractions and can throw us curve balls in a moment’s notice. Our solution? Hold fast to Jesus Christ!
Mass Readings – 19th Sunday of the Year
While we talk about “faith” in a wide variety of ways, two main distinctions can be made. The first is about facts or information, the second is about the strength of a relationship. May we continue to learn more about our faith, so that we might grow closer every day to Jesus Christ.

St. Peter’s praise and censure in the Gospel remind us that we follow Christ in good times and in bad. Indeed, when things are toughest, our faith provides the grace to see us through.

Mass Readings – Wednesday of the 18th Week of the Year
The Canaanite woman in the Gospel is not Jewish, does not know the Law, the Prophets, or the great story of salvation history. What she knows is that Jesus can heal, and on that simple premise she reveals a faith that will not be denied…giving us an example to follow.

Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 18th Week of the Year
Peter’s example can comfort and challenge us to face our fears with faith…even when it means that we have to walk on water.
Study: Recall a time when your faith was tested. How did you respond?
Pray: Are you or a loved one going through a difficult time right now? Pray for the wisdom and strength that comes from faith.
Serve: How can you help someone grow in their faith today? How can you help another grow closer to Jesus Christ?
Mass Readings – 19th Sunday of the Year
The readings focus on different aspects of faith this week:
When we stop and think about it, we are blessed in many, many ways: life, education, family, friendship, health, opportunity, and…faith. What a gift it is to know God and to be given the sacraments and teaching of the Church to help us encounter the Lord!
But sometimes we can take our gifts for granted. We start to assume that these blessings will always be there, that life will always be smooth and steady, or that if we do the right things then nothing bad will ever happen to us.
Today we are reminded that the gift of faith requires constant vigilance. We live each day, each moment, with the conviction that we are pilgrims passing through this world…with our eyes set on the Kingdom of Heaven. We foster our relationship with the Lord through daily prayer, frequent reception of the Sacraments, hearing the Word of God, and fellowship with one another.
May we foster our faith and be ready today…for the Lord will come, at an hour we do not expect.

Here’s a question: Would you be willing to die for your faith? Both Jeremiah and John the Baptist are put to the test, and we know that today people are killed for following Christ. May our lives reveal our love for the Lord…in both life and death.

The disciples were blessed because they heard and saw the proclamation of the Good News. Their response inspires us to receive God’s message of hope and live our faith with power and conviction.

Mass Readings – Saturday of the 15th Week of the Year
Sometimes we discover conflict even when we do the right things for the right reasons…just like the Lord in the Gospel today. In these moments we trust in God’s grace to face our difficulties with our faith in Jesus Christ.
