Being a Father
Today is the feast day of St. Joseph. Today should be the ‘Catholic’ celebration of Fathers’ Day. One of the names by which Jesus was known is “the son of the carpenter”. There are a number of things about being … Continue reading
The God of the Impossible
My God is the God of the impossible. Abraham and Sarah were advanced in age when he was promised a son and that he would become the father of a great nation. And yet, it came to pass as promised … Continue reading
Praying For Priests and Pastors
Today is the feast day of St. john Vianney, the Cure d’ Ars and the patron saint of parish priests. He was a simple man, who barely made it through his priestly studies because he had difficulties with Latin. He would … Continue reading

Children of a Loving God
As children, we live in love way before we discover reason. No baby is born hating or being angry. The first conscious act of an infant is to reciprocate its mother’s love, naturally seeking the warmth and comfort of her loving … Continue reading
Relishing My Relationship With God
For most of the Old Testament, God was known and addressed as ‘Lord’. The Lord of Creation. The Lord of History. The One Lord God of Israel. He evoked images of power and majesty. With mighty deeds, He saves His … Continue reading
The Fog in San Francisco Bay
I love the fog specially as it comes in from San Francisco Bay. I find it a refreshing sight and an invigorating experience as it breezes by me. It may seem a very ordinary thing but it is an essential … Continue reading
