2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 22 – Do You Have a Plan for Pascha?
Today we start our fourth week of Great Lent and the Church turns everything up a notch. After the celebration of the Holy Cross yesterday, we begin to look in earnest at Holy Week and Pascha. Pascha will ‘be here’ before you know it. Today’s reading reminded me that God always had a plan. Ever…

Think about the last time you were invited to go on a trip with a friend. Your friend was paying for the food, but you had to help drive. Your friend knew the way, but you had to bring the map. This doesn’t sound like any trip I was ever invited to. The guest isn’t…

Imagine that! We reached the halfway point of Great Lent with another rest stop. It is a good day to rest and refresh for the next half of Great Lent which takes a stricter tone. Rest, but do not stop! Ease your fasting, but do not feast. Find a park to sit and reflect. Saint…

I’m blessed to live in a place where the Church is made visible to the entire city.

This image of calling all people to God is…

We are nearly two weeks into a new war, and the earth is moaning as it has for so many centuries. Air raid sirens cry out as bombs explode. From the comfort of our armchair in America, it might seem like a movie, but it is real life for those in the thick of it.…

We cannot deny that God has revealed His anger over the centuries. With those who disobey Him, like Adam and Eve and their descendants, He allows us to struggle against our enemies, while never giving up His promise to save us. For that, I am extremely thankful. Take a moment and read today’s readings with…

When I was a much younger man I used to enjoy the outdoors. I grew up participating in the Boy Scout program and eventually as an adult leader supervised many camping trips. One thing that was always comforting to have was a good tent. When I read today’s readings I was reminded of my youth,…
Read MoreEpisode 474 – Obstacles to God
There are many obstacles between us and God. Some obstacles are from the world trying to stop us from reaching God. Other obstacles are from God to protect us from ourselves. The most dangerous obstacles are from our own making, our sins that separate us from God. No obstacle can keep us from God if…
Read More2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 14 – God can do it all!
On the second Sunday of Great Lent, we are reminded of God’s saving power. Through the telling of the resurrection and healing miracles we expect great things from God. Then Saint Paul goes so far as to say God ‘rolls up’ heaven and earth. God can do it all! So, why do we insist on…
