During the past month, I have celebrated three weddings… In preparation for the celebrations, one word kept emerging for me from the texts—“covenant.”
Reflections
A Vincentian View: Sower, Seed, and Soil
When I have the honor to preach to a Vincentian group, I sometimes take the opportunity to see if we have a record of Vincent speaking on the Scripture for that day.
A Vincentian View: Worthy of the Lord
Suppose someone asked you in earnest to explain how the Lord holds the highest value in your life.
A Vincentian View: Washed Feet
I have never had my feet washed on Holy Thursday. Mostly, I have avoided the invitation in some way or another.
A Vincentian View: Come to the Water
From a human point of view, water is inseparable from life.
A Vincentian View: The Way of the Cross
Have you ever considered that the stations of the cross (usually) encircle us when we gather in our place of worship?
A Vincentian View: The Eucharist and Vatican II
Each year I select a theme that gives direction to one/some of the programs that I organize at St. John’s University.
A Vincentian View: Out of your Mind
Has anyone ever accused you of being “out of your mind?”
A Vincentian View: Ordinary Time
Our liturgical year has again arrived at its longest season. After the preparation of Advent draws us into the joyful celebration of Christmas, we move to “ordinary time” until Lent leads us into the Easter Season and Pentecost.
A Vincentian View: Look Inside and Outside
The flow of our celebrations in these weeks invite us to a place in the middle. Two feasts attract our attention and border out reflections.
A Vincentian View: A Message for the Baptist
Are you surprised when John sends some of his disciples to Jesus to ask him who he is?
A Vincentian View: A Vincentian Crèche
An invitation from the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy asked me to create a reflection for their digital Advent + Christmas crèche calendar for 2022
