Today's Gospel recounts the time John the Baptist asked his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?” I've always toyed with the idea that even if Jesus came into the world today and did the miracles he did and said the things he said, we … Continue reading Are you He?

Only with God's grace can such a venture succeed. Today we celebrated a thanksgiving mass at St. Anthony's … Continue reading Landings is 10!
Keep on keeping on…
Friday's Returned event was a good reminder of how we all struggle. Our faith is always tested. Some for longer periods, some shorter. But truly amazing to see the 3 testifiers come out of it stronger and being able to glorify God by their life and stories. This week's homilist at mass spoke of how … Continue reading Keep on keeping on…
