For nine days (the first Novena), 120 of the disciples, including Mary and the Apostles, were in prayer and fear in the upper room...
Lent is over! Now the more devout among us who pledged to surrender some pleasure, engage in prayer or perform some good work for all those weeks of the Lent are set free from our resolutions. Whether we were 100% successful or fell short repeatedly, it’s all in the past...
In the average home in America, there are 300,000 items, which helps explain the fact that 10% of us rent offsite storage and ¼ of people with two car garages do not have room to park their cars... During Hurricane Harvey, we realized how much stuff we’ve got. And many of us discovered how much we can do without. The Jesus issue here is sharing our bounty with others.
Last year, a Catholic deacon and his family immigrated to Miami from Venezuela. Upon their arrival, the father asked his children where they would like to go first. We can guess at their answers: Disney World, McDonald’s, Miami Beach. Their reply: “can we please go to a grocery store?”

In the list of things nobody in the world likes to do, standing in line holds a secure place. A hermit nun (yes really) once told me that the wealthier or more powerful a person is, the less time they spend waiting. For the rest of us, we stand in line...

Dear Everybody, What a year this has been. Some of us lost part or all of our homes or jobs to floodwaters and the economy. Others adjusted to having not just a winning, but a really winning baseball team in Houston! Lots of locals saw snow for the first time. And, hey, isn't it great to have the Grand Parkway? And now, here we are at Christmas.
With the hustle and bustle of the Advent season, often times we aren't able to adequately prepare for the birth of Jesus. In addition to the busyness, everything in our culture tells us that Christmas is over come December 26th. Well, it's not! Join us as we celebrate the season of Christmas this year with a Christmas Mission
