Today's Gospel reading about the temptation of Satan to Jesus offers us a deeper understanding of how important it is to stand tall in our faith and to resist what the devil asks of us.

Fr. Joe leads us in the teaching that children look up to us. It is important not only to watch what we say, but to match our actions with the truth of Christ's Word. If you tell a child it is important to treat others the way Jesus did, then you must be careful to act that way in your own life!

People all over the Church continue praying for Pope Francis as he faces his health challenges with courage and faith, continuing to serve with unwavering devotion. He has inspired many to turn to Christ from nothing by keeping in touch with ordinary people and sacrificing his time and his comfort to spend time with the public. His advice is exceptional, especially his advice for Lent. This Lenten season, we can strive to take Pope Francis's advice to fast - not just from food and physical things - but from sin and spiritual indifference. What will you choose to fast from?

Like the Nile River gives life to the land around it, God gives Grace to all who are in reach of it. When we turn away from God, our lives turn to dust. Just like the vegetation next to the river, we need Him to stay alive!

In Jesus' time, they didn't have electricity, so torches or candles were used to see in the dark. If someone holding a candle walked too quickly, the light would go out. It was important to realize that whatever journey they went on had to be taken one step at a time in order to keep that light close. Christ is this light in OUR lives. Regardless of what stage of life you are in, He is with us each step of the way. Patience and perseverance in keeping that light near us are important ways to grow!

Fr. Joe recollects his very first wedding he performed, which resulted in unexpected events! A wedding is a physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual union. Statistics show that couples who join each other at Mass are extremely unlikely to split up. However, if only one of them acts on their faith, the probability increases. If neither of the couple attends Mass, the statistics skyrocket to 90% of these marriages often ending in divorce. Marriage is extremely spiritual, and faith is important to keep in the midst of a relationship! #marriage #sterlingheights #stmalachy #homily #catholicchurch #mass

In order to be a king, you must be a mediator. Jesus IS King, and He mediates by connecting us to His Father and His Saving Grace!

Like a GPS system, we can rest assured that God will never give up on us. Though we might make a wrong turn in life, He will always reroute us. If we take His corrections, we will come to realize that it will all be worth the trip!

Fr. Joe reminisces about his school days, when grades were handed out for both academics and effort. Grades will come and go, but our abilities to persevere have to grow in our lives. You can't do it all, but what CAN you do?
