What does the Purification of Mary, Presentation of the Lord, and Ground Hog Day have in common? Deacon Dan takes a moment to show how these three are more correlated than what meets the eye. He also explains the celebration of Candlemas, an old tradition of the Catholic Church, a special celebration that replaces the 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time only once every seven years!

Signs are apparent in our lives if we know to look for them daily, we just need to open our eyes. For Father, birds are one of those many signs. What other signs do we see in our lives, and how does this relate back to our Gospel reading from this weekend? Happy last day of Christmas!

The Epiphany of the Lord || January 5, 2020Readings: Is 60:1-6; Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6; Mt 2:1-12Homilist: Deacon Dan Brahier

Deacon Dan takes a moment to talk about what the Church understands about who the three wise men truly were, and how we are called to model that same type of response to follow the "star". Are we following the Light of the World--Christ?

"Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal", Father was told by a mentor of his. When given the opportunity to address a moral issue, Father said he wasn't confident to rise up and correct those at fault. But what he learns is that we are not always given moments like that to rehearse. They are the moments we must push toward to receive the fruitful gifts of wisdom, and to grow stronger in our faith.
