Reflections from St. Ann DC

Jesus' sacrifice, offered in every Mass, is infinitely greater than the sacrifices offered before Him.

This week, Msgr. Watkins tells a story recounting the innocence of our parish altar server, Joseph, connecting his childhood innocence to the trust and innocence Adam and Eve exhibited to God before their fall into temptation.

This week, for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Msgr. Watkins discusses misconceptions about Christianity regarding the Holy Trinity and the importance of all three Persons.

Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. In this Pentecost homily, Msgr. Watkins discusses the chance that such anniversaries offer us for reflection in our own lives, what the Lord's wish is in our lives, and the works of His Church.

This Sunday Msgr Watkins reminds us and the children receiving their First Holy Communion that God wants to be close to us. The Eucharist brings God so close, that He is within us.

God forms us so that we may grow in Him, just as the vine grower prunes his plants.

Msgr. Watkins speaks on our need for a Good Shepherd who knows us and whose voice is known to us. A recent convert shares his experience encountering that Shepherd.

Christ expresses His resurrection in our lives by sharing with us authentic, pure joy.

The primary fact of Easter is that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead, and we have lots of time to contemplate how it changes our lives. But first we have to believe in the resurrection.

We wish you a blessed Divine Mercy Sunday! Learn from St. John Paul II and St. Peter about the incredible mercy of God and the Resurrection of Jesus.
