March 25, 2018, Palm Sunday: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Talk about March Madness! And no, I am not talking about the fact that we have had 4 Nor’easters since the month began or that every single NCAA bracket is totally trashed by now. You know, I…
March 18, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Here we are, on this final Sunday of Lent – a period in which we have reflected more closely on our relationship with God, our neighbor, our self. These next several days will mark the end of one part…
March 11, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen.

March 2, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. It is so good to be back! I missed you all, and thank you for your prayers! I can tell you, I felt like my body was getting destroyed recently, not only with the hospitalization, but dang that snow…
February 11, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. The winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea have begun, and I am, as usual, totally glued to the TV watching every moment I can. The winter Olympics are by far my favorite, which is odd since I don’t know…

January 28, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. So, today St. Paul is talking a LOT about food.

Like last year though,…
January 14, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. This Sunday, we are celebrating the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ.

January 7, 2018: May God’s words alone be spoken, may God’s words alone be heard. Amen. Today we celebrate Epiphany. The feast of the Epiphany is Janurary 6th, so we are celebrating it today. And it is this feast day that ends our Christmastide – our twelve days of Christmas. So, as I said last…
