Victory over death

April 3, 2021
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Easter, Feature, Wit & Wisdom

None of us can pull ourselves out of the grave. But Jesus could. And so we put our faith in Him. Fear of death is normal. With human eyes we can only see a life ended.

Ruling the heart

March 5, 2021
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

The struggle for power and domination has gone on for centuries, but women save the world by ruling the heart. And in so doing, they will save the world.

Kindness over violence

February 1, 2021
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Chaos and violence are the marks of darkness. Compassion and care are the marks of love.

Celebrate God, every day

December 27, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Christmas, Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Every day we can celebrate the God who comes to us in others, and in the events of life.

Brighten the tangled night

December 24, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Christmas, Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

We Christians believe that God has entered into this world of fear.

Confined? Look within

November 6, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, Wit & Wisdom

We can spend our days being aware of God within us and praying for those around us.

Practice forgiveness, extend mercy

October 6, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Practice living each moment with the power of God. And in so doing, you and I are constantly becoming the very love of God himself.

How to ‘steal’ heaven

September 16, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Wit & Wisdom

Like the Good Thief, you and I can “steal” heaven. It involves returning to the practice of our faith, going to church, receiving the sacraments, reading Scripture, and talking to God throughout the day in formal or informal prayers.

A lesson from nature

August 18, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Jesus came to tell us that love, not violence, is the answer. For his efforts, he was crucified by the people of his day. Violence if often our reaction. But violence is never the answer. Love really is the only answer.

Pieces in the puzzle

July 14, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

There are no unimportant people in the world. We are all important to God and to life.

Invisible powers

June 9, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Coronavirus, Wit & Wisdom

Over the centuries, we humans have survived plagues and famines and natural disasters. I don’t pretend to know why God allows them, but I do know that as a human race we survive them.

Belief and life

May 15, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

We do not live in a morally neutral universe. Good and evil, life and death, do contend with each other.
