As we celebrate all of God's creation through the lens of St. Francis of Assisi, we learn to do that which creation already does so well: Trust. Only in trusting may we be proper stewards of God's "good" creation.

We celebrate a minor festival all about angels as depicted in Apocalyptic literature. Hope is a thread that connects all of our texts together ae we celebrate God's victory over death and evil.

There is so much about the world and our faith that we do not understand, and the only way to better understand is to share a sense of curiosity to know more. We cannot learn if we remain silent.

By asking "who do we say Jesus is?" we learn how to carry our cross in a way that honors where we come from and the next generations to come.

Jesus has a less than pleasant exchange with an unnamed Syrophoenician woman in need of his help. While Jesus loses the argument, he gains a new perspective and understanding of his mission to all.

We worship in ways informed both by tradition and innovation, but at its core, we worship most authentically when we love our neighbor, and therefore, God.

By grace we receive the Armor of God to navigate life's challenges, and we are sustained by the Divine mystery of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

While Wonder Bread may be our “go-to” for a quick sandwich, it pales in comparison to the Wondrous Bread of Life, Jesus. It’s a gift from heaven and offers eternal life.

Eternal life is a gift offered through Christ and it is a gift that impacts our lives now (and really, throughout time). The "living bread" sustains us in this life, and throughout all of eternity.

Faith and belief develop through our relationship with God and the community of God's people. Relationships are complex and rarely efficient, but our work is to grow through our connections with God.
