We must learn again that communities exist to create, sustain and protect life.

A lesson on time and hope from John the Baptist

We are mysteries to one another. The same is true of nature. The same has ever been true of God.

To share life with the Lord is to give life itself to those whom we love in the Lord.

In the sacrament of his most holy body and blood, Christ claims and consecrates not only us but all of his creation.

God simply is a triad of love: a going out in love, a return in love and thus, ever more, love itself.

We speak of spirits and ghosts when we encounter the sort of meaning that only another person can share with us, yet we cannot locate that person in our world.

And dads, too.

We often imagine our own deaths, though typically what we picture is our funeral.

History records many great men and women who would have been set aside without the aid of someone able to see past their faults.
