We are an Easter People

 At the Easter Vigil we renew our baptismal call to be an Easter people, a people full of joy. Knowing the end of our story - the resurrection - helps us to live with hope.

The Bible and Bach: Perspectives on the Passion

I was happy to participate in this event reflecting on the Passion in the Gospels of Matthew and John at Holy Rosary Cathedral Vancouver. Featuring wonderful performances of selections from Bach's the Passion of St. Matthew and the Passion of St. John under the direction of Paula DeWit, with introductions by Bevin Nathaniel van Liempt.


Tragedy and Perspective

3rd Sunday of Lent, year C

When tragedies strike we are reminded of the shortness of life and the need to live well. In the Gospel today, Jesus references two contemporary tragedies from His time. These tragedies teach us that we will not live forever and so we should be sure to live a good life that has eternal significance.
