Perpetua and Felicity – Love that is Stronger than Death

Last updated on: March 7, 2021 at 1:26 pm By Billy Kangas

How firmly is your identity rooted in your faith? It is said that the blood of the martyrs is is the seed of the Church. Throughout history men and women have suffered greatly for their faith. One of the earlier examples of this is recorded in the story of a young mother (Perpetua) and her pregnant servant (Felicity) who both heard the good news and were radically transformed by what they experience God was doing through Jesus and his Church....

The Heart of the Prodigal’s Father

Last updated on: March 5, 2021 at 5:30 pm By Billy Kangas

“So he got up and went back to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him.” Lk 15:20 How have Jesus’ parables inspired you? I have found myself returning to the story of the prodigal son over and over again.

Saint Kieran The Elder – Discovering a God at Work in Our World

Last updated on: March 5, 2021 at 4:29 pm By Billy Kangas

Today the church remembers Saint Kieran. He was the first Irish-born saint. His spirituality was lived deeply connected to the physical world and to the Irish people.

Saint Casimir – The Practice of Daily Prayer

Last updated on: March 4, 2021 at 5:22 pm By Billy Kangas

Casimir was a Polish Prince. I find him interesting because he was a man caught between the political world of his family and a life of faith and service which was closer to his own heart. He was known for his service to those in need and his generosity. His own life was marked by his practices of daily prayer. Each day he would read a passage from the Gospels and offer hymns in Latin and Polish. Perhaps the Hymn... Read more
