Dear Brothers and Sisters,

One of the things I have practiced and promoted throughout my priesthood is Eucharistic Adoration. Over the years, my daily holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament has strengthened my faith, helped me in my priesthood, and brought me closer to Our Lord and the people I serve. Eucharistic Adoration has also brought many blessings and life changing moments to the parishioners in the parishes I have served over the years.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden…Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

I hope most people of faith understand the value of sharing your time, treasure, and talent with others. I want to focus your attention on what I will call the stewardship of time and talent. Being a good steward with your finances is equally important for the good of your soul and the betterment of humanity, but what about your time and talent? What does it mean to be a good steward of these God given blessings?

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As we celebrate Respect Life throughout the month of October, Our Lord reminds us of the sacredness of every life. Catholics have always held and will always preach the value of human life. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that:

"Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being” (CCC 2258).
