On this Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, we pray for young Christians who will undoubtedly have their faith tested, that we might help them to grow through this towards a deeper more mature faith, and that we can let them know that they are signs of hope for us.

Christmas has finally come, where we celebrate the birth of the savior bursting forth like the sunrise, with a promise of a new day, a new season, new life, and renewed hope.

On the Feast of Andrew the Apostle, we hear of Andrew's initial call, when he dropped his nets and immediately followed Jesus, and we are reminded to remember back to the time when we first heard The Call of faith and reignite those flames.

In today's Gospel, Jesus encourages his disciples to persevere despite great opposition. We can only hope to persevere with God's help and with each other's help.

On this Feast of All Souls, we pray for those who have died—not only those who we have known, but for all who have died and are now separated from us by that thin veil of death, that we all might be united once again in the great beyond.

On this Solemnity of All Saints, we welcome a new preacher and ponder how the saints call us to go out to the peripheries of our society. When we do, we discover that we are in the center of people's lives. Thus, like kneading dough, in the Church we constantly push the center out to the edge and bring the edges back to the center until we become one bread, one Body of Christ.
