A Vincentian View: The Transfiguration – Listen
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.
A Vincentian View: What a Difference a Day Makes
Ash Wednesday follows Mardi Gras – “Fat Tuesday.” The days stand out as contrasts.
A Vincentian View: Reconciliation and Renewal
When I celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation with people, my emphasis does not solely embrace God’s forgiveness of our sins of the past, but promotes God’s grace to live a better future.
A Vincentian View: Good Friends
We celebrate the Solemnity of Saint Louise de Marillac on May 9th. This feast invites us to think of Louise, her gifts, and her ministry. Sometimes, I get caught up in a sidebar reflection.
A Vincentian View: The Work of God
One of the verses from a Gospel of the past week captured my thinking and prompted my reflection: “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”
A Vincentian View: A Triduum with Mary
The place of Mary sometimes surfaces in my reflections on the holy days of the Easter Triduum.
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.
