Have you ever reflected on a past trial or hardship and realized that it unexpectedly benefited you in your present circumstances? Perhaps it equipped you with the resilience to navigate recent challenges, or fostered empathy, deepening connections with others. In life, we often encounter God's mysterious ways, leading us through difficulties toward surprising and joyful outcomes. Today, Father Michael Simone explores the comforting truth that despite life's adversities, God has the power to transform them into something new and beautiful, offering inspiration and solace during times of struggle.

Returning to our regular routines can be tempting and easy since the Easter parties are over, and we're putting away the Easter bunny decorations. But today, we are called to practice resurrection, rather than crucifixion, every day. Rather than tear someone down or focus too much on the negative, we are called to build people up and breathe new life into our daily situations! Today, Father Ed Foley calls us to align with the head and the heart of Jesus and live out the joy of the resurrection throughout the year!

Happy Easter!

After celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, we reflect on the enduring legacy of St. Patrick and how his example of sacrificial love continues to resonate with us to this day.

As we strive to emulate St. Patrick's selflessness, we affirm our commitment to be blessings in the lives of others by small daily sacrfices. By saying, "I will be God's blessing to you," we pledge our whole being to the service of others, enriching their lives and bringing them into fuller, more beautiful expressions of life. Today, Father Wall explores how we can embody the spirit of St. Patrick throughout the year in profound and meaningful ways.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Old St. Pat's! Please enjoy a special music episode with Irish music and the St. Patrick's Breastplate prayer in honor of our patron saint.

Sometimes, we can get caught up in thinking five steps ahead and praying for our long-term goals to materialize when we should really be stopping to ask ourselves what God desires for us right now. Could it be the feeling of relief and peace, knowing you are doing your best and are on the right path? Maybe it's letting go of the control and trusting in God's timing. Or perhaps it's knowing that you are not alone and part of something bigger! As we yearn to see our desires through God's eyes, we embark on a journey toward clarity and insight, cultivating an interior sight and listening that transcends the superficial distractions of daily life. Today, Father Joe Simmons asks us to reflect on what Jesus wishes for us so we can be better attuned to the call in the hidden corner of our hearts.
