  • As the world spins, will we keep our hearts and eyes on Jesus Christ?

    As the world spins, will we keep our hearts and eyes on Jesus Christ?

    • Dec 20, 2020

    This Christmas, we can choose to stay unhappy and miserable because of life’s disappointments and uncertainties. But we do have another choice.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Christ is offering us peace, but will we accept?

    • Dec 13, 2020

    This gift of peace is not a dream, removed idealism, escapism, or wishful thinking. The peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, is more real and tangible than anything else in this world.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Advent a time to create a ‘to-do’ list for the soul

    • Dec 6, 2020

    The Church is overflowing in ideas on how each of us can deepen in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Eucharist offers intersection between First and Second Coming

    Eucharist offers intersection between First and Second Coming

    • Nov 29, 2020

    How can believers both recall a historical event, while also prepare for a future event, in which time and space as we know them will end? Is there a middle ground or a still point between the two?

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Today’s call is to declare Christ the king of our hearts and homes

    Today’s call is to declare Christ the king of our hearts and homes

    • Nov 22, 2020

    God is our everything, and if this is not acknowledged, and it doesn’t lead us to worship, then we pursue other things that can never truly satisfy or hearts.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Parable bids us to ponder what we’ll do with our talents

    • Nov 15, 2020

    The disciple of the Lord Jesus accepts the Gospel as the authentic and everlasting Word of God. They do not compromise any of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • In election’s wake, don’t let emotions overwhelm virtue

    • Nov 8, 2020

    Our sentiment is not a moral equivalent to the Ten Commandments. Simply because we feel something, does not make it right (or wrong).

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
  • Election emphasis shouldn’t be on ‘transfer’ or ‘power’, but ‘peace’

    • Oct 31, 2020

    What we have not seen in the civic discourse is a serious discussion on peaceful. Will there be a peaceful transfer of power? Will there be peace? When peace becomes the emphasis, the shift and focus of efforts is drastically changed.
