    Sainthood is possible for our young people
    February 26, 2021
    While ministering to young people and their families, there has been an unexpected but enjoyable aspect that I have been reflecting on lately: generational research and insight. I am not sure if I would have been interested in something so sociological if I was not active in ministering to a certain generation, while knowing my own generation, and appreciating the parents’ and other adults’ generation.

    We become a part of Him when we eat the Eucharist
    February 26, 2021
    I love to eat.  When we as humans eat something our digestive system takes the food, which is not a part of our body, and turns it into energy and minerals that become a part of our cells.  That which we cannot use is discarded as waste.  In other words, what we eat becomes part of us.  This is a true incorporation, literally speaking.  We are all familiar with the expression, “You are what you eat.”

    February 12, 2021
    Thank you for reading this letter. As we begin this Season of Lent, I urge each of us to take to heart the message of Jesus as He began His public ministry: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” (Mk 1:15) If we believe the Gospel message, that God so loves us that He took flesh in order to die for our sins, we would want to repent, confess our sins, and accept the gift of eternal life He offers us.
