I just wanted to assure you that I am still living at the cathedral rectory. I’ve been able to keep my residence. Please pray that I’ll be able to keep my sanity! 

Moving experience

By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

To be human is to be worthy of God. God affirms the value of human life, by becoming human himself. But life is not easy.

Emulate God, work together

February 1, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

There is divinity flowing though us all the time. We just have to believe that. And then winter will turn to spring. 

Jeers to cheers

By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Christmas is a chance again to discover who we are. God came into the world in the form of a baby because God always comes into the world that way.

By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

When you look at infinite space and countless solar systems and stars and galaxies, we’re part of a creation that is truly worthy of God.

Family matters

By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Our culture is hard on faith. In the name of freedom of choice, we are arguably becoming one of the least free societies.

The skinny on summer

June 11, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Do all the good you can, for as many people as you can, for as long as you can. If you do that, you may not just live longer. You may live forever.

Like Mary, we are all called

May 6, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Our job is not just to do good things for God, but to allow God to do good things through us. That’s what Mary models.

Trust God’s love – now

April 6, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

The key to trusting God’s power after death is to trust his power during life.
