Vincentian Family

Each year during the Easter Season, I find myself fascinated by the idea that the friends of Jesus do not recognize him in the resurrected form. 

Some years ago, I read a piece that discussed how much the modern world depends upon the work of strangers for its survival and wellbeing. 

In preparation for the Jubilee Year 2025, Pope Francis has invited the Christian community to center 2024 around the theme of prayer.

For the last years, I do not think that I have meditated on any theme more often that listening.  Most recently, the line that ends the story of the Transfiguration has attracted me. 

Ash Wednesday follows Mardi Gras – “Fat Tuesday.” The days stand out as contrasts.

The “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” on August 28,1963 was scheduled to include a 3-hour program of speeches and performances by various civil rights leaders.

This Christmastime has had a special character for me. Watching each of my nieces with her child has been an education.

Of all the songs associated with the Christmas season, is there any more widely known or sung than “Silent Night”?
