Celebrating The Ascension of Jesus, we are invited to enter into the sacred time of prayerful waiting with hungry hearts for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost...

On the 6th Sunday of Easter we spend time with Jesus in John 14:23-29 and recount some of the marvelous graces Jesus desires for us to live in: 1 - Keeping His Word 2 - Experiencing Intimacy with The Blessed Trinity 3 - The Holy Spirit's Guidance 4 - The Peace of God 5 - Untroubled and Unafraid Hearts

The love of Jesus Christ is truly the Sonshine of our souls...continuously being poured into us through the gift of the Holy Spirit. "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" Jesus famously taught at The Last Supper. (Jn 13:34) It's in receiving His love we're empowered to pour out His love as we journey one day at a time to the eternal glory of life in union with The Blessed Trinity forever...

"Jesus revealed Himself" St. John writes in 21:1. Shortly after this revelation, Peter was healed of his three-fold betrayal with a three-fold profession of love for Jesus. We consider hererin the promise of Jesus to reveal Himself to His disciples (Jn 14:21) and consider some practical ways to open our hearts and minds for Jesus to reveal Himself to us...

On Divine Mercy Sunday, we look at John 20 and the famous encounter between Jesus and Thomas. An encounter of mercy that lead to the amazing confession of faith from St. Thomas..."my Lord and my God!" (Jn 20:28)

"Mystical" doesn't mean make believe. God, who is outside of time, and for Whom everything is possible, brings us into the living mystery of the Resurrection. Encountering the Risen Lord Jesus in His infinite love for us we face a choice...

Entering into Holy Week on Palm Sunday, Jesus invites us deep into His passion-filled heart to experience the Paschal Mystery anew and more profoundly than ever before. Revelations of His amazing love are ready to be poured out as we enter mystically into the events of Holy Week...

When the woman caught in adultery experienced the healing love of Jesus, a new life began for her. (Jn 8:11) St. Paul, who also had a profound conversion experience, described his heart on fire for God in these words, "I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ Jesus" and "forgetting what lies behind...I continue my pursuit towards the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus." (Phil 3:12-14)

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the beautiful story of The Prodigal Son, giving us a remarkable revelation of the heart of Abba, God the Father...

At a parish mission at St. Ann Catholic Church in Coppell, Texas both Maria and Lourdes received remarkable healings from Jesus from thier auto-accident injuries. Lourdes had been having issues for 7 years and Maria was told she would always have the pain...and carried her children out of the church pain free, praise you Jesus!
