In Mark 10, a young rich man eagerly comes to Jesus. He is a winner who does not want to give up trying to win. The good thing about him is that he has a desire for something more, something beyond worldly winning. He asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”It is good to ask about eternal life, but his question reveals a deep flaw. You see, as Robert Capon notes, while he wants something more, he can’t imagine pursuing it in any other way than doing through more winning and striving.

In the depths of despair, when darkness seems to envelop us and hope feels like a distant memory, God breaks through with promises of hope and comfort. In the book of Lamentations and the Gospel of John, with support from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, we find passages that speak to the human experience of suffering, doubt and sin, and the enduring presence of God’s mercy and love. The book of Lamentations is a haunting depiction of grief and despair.

What is Epiphany? Epiphany is the season when we celebrate God’s light breaking into the world through Jesus Christ. The word “epiphany” comes from a Greek word meaning “appearance” or “manifestation.” It’s a reminder that God’s love didn’t stay hidden. In Christ, God revealed Himself not just to Israel but to all people. That’s good news: His light shines for everyone, everywhere. When is Epiphany? Epiphany starts on January 6, wrapping up the twelve days of Christmas.

Dear survivors of abuse,What happened to you was not your fault. You are not to blame. You did not deserve it. You did not ask for this. You should not be silenced. You are not worthless. You do not have to pretend like nothing happened. Nobody had the right to violate you. You are not responsible for what happened to you. You are not damaged goods. You were supposed to be treated with dignity and respect. You were the victim of assault and it was wrong. You were sinned against.

July 15, 2024 Dear Diocesan Family, I write to you today reflecting on Saturday’s assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump during his campaign rally in Pennsylvania. I grieve for those who were injured and personally affected by the violence, for the family of Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his wife and two daughters during the attack, and for all of us who watched these deeply disturbing events unfold in the media.
