“Perhaps the real teaching point from his life is that he discovered a way to move out of his shell into a new reality, through his faith.  His faith inspired his poetry, and his poetry reflects the journey of a man who was continually seeking to understand Scripture and church teaching through the inner workings of his instinctual connection with the beauty of nature.”

“In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus forecasts that many of his listeners will die in their sins, for they are not hearing the “I Am” of his presence among us.  They are not seeing in him the incarnation of God. They will look for him and not be able to find him.”

“What does God do with all them prayers? Whacky? Goofy? Does he think of us, too much smokin’ you-know-what?”

“And in the quiet of the night as we rock our little ones and say a prayer, may we know, too, that you hold and embrace us.”

“So the Annunciation is about a lot more than the mechanics of bringing Jesus into the world to fulfill Jewish prophecy concerning his lineage… It is the portal into the depth of the mystery, the one which guides our life through the Holy Spirit, the one which promises life eternal for those who embrace the Christ in love and obedience.”
