Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

JoAnn Melina

Lopez

To share the faith of Mary and the shepherds is to be prophetic. It is to say: I have hope, and I believe in God's desire and ability to shine God’s face in every place.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Judith

Coyle, IHM

At the end of this joyous Christmas season we will return to our own towns, to the ordinary-ness of our daily routines and rituals…But perhaps in a new way the manifestation of the divine indwelling of a ‘sleeping child’ will bring us like Mary and Joseph to wonder and amazement at the gifts we have received…

Christmas

Shalini

Mulackal, PBVM

By entering the human history this way, God identified with the powerless, the oppressed, the poor and the homeless. Among them, God could do the divine new work.

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Guadalupe

Ramirez, MCDP

I have come to the conclusion that whenever I am presented with a new challenge, I want to ask “why me?” I need to change that and ask, “Why not me? “ So I ask you, “Why not you?”

Second Sunday of Advent

Lisa

Frey

And that’s what the human voice can do…yours and mine. We can speak a word that affirms a child, challenges a politician, forgives a friend.

Rita L.

Houlihan

We adults need to be this woman of worth and integrity more than ever today. Imagine if all our daughters and sons saw themselves in her and imagine if they received the “Torah of kindness” from our lips.

Our neighbor is the person God puts in front of us. Our neighbor is the person in need, the one that we reach out to and take responsibility for because of compassion and mercy and the memory that we once were aliens.

Katherine A.

Greiner, Ph.D.

We belong to God. When we understand the truth of that reality, we see life as gift, precious and wild, meant to be squandered on that which matters: gratitude, service, beauty, truth, mercy, love.
