Father Joseph Breighner

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.

Close calls all around

April 7, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

There’s an old saying: “Life is fragile. Handle with prayer.” I’m blessed to be alive.

Limitless love

March 6, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

When we believe that we are made of the “stuff” of God, then we have the power to co-create our world again in God’s likeness. Our time is limited. Our love is not. 

God, born in us

February 6, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Salvation history is not just about what God did in the past, but what God wants to do through each one of us in the present.

Sense of worth

January 5, 2020
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

In lieu of resolutions, may I suggest we learn a formula: “The more inadequate we feel, the more anxious we will feel, and the more hostile we will behave.”

No sales pitch required

December 8, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Advent, Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

The world may or may not believe what we say. But the world will believe what we do. Do we live in such a way as to allow the God born once in a manger to live fully in us?

Trust wins out over despair

November 13, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

In this month dedicated to praying for the “poor souls” in purgatory, let us not forget to pray for the dying

Life and control, good and evil

October 8, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

The power of evil destroys life. We share the power of God when we give life.

Finding help, healing depression

September 13, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

I share my story in the hopes that it will help someone else. There’s no shame in sharing our limitations.

The gift of our selves

June 6, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

On any given day, we may not remember all the things that Jesus said and did. But we do know that God came to be with us. That’s what really matters.

A project worth continuing

May 6, 2019
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

God never gives up on us. God didn’t create us out of curiosity. God created us out of love.
