Wit & Wisdom

Everyone’s story

Father Joseph Breighner December 5, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

Christmas reminds us that God, as Christ, has entered our world again in person to let us know that God never abandons us, that evil ultimately will not triumph.

Grateful for faithful examples

Father Joseph Breighner November 1, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

It’s good to remember the many, many good priests who inspired such generosity.

Genes, chromosomes – and God

Father Joseph Breighner October 15, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

God is not some invisible presence watching us from the sky; God is as close to us as the DNA in our bodies.

Pearls amid junk

Father Joseph Breighner September 3, 2018
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

Father Joseph Breighner July 7, 2018
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

Father Joseph Breighner 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

Father Joseph Breighner 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

Father Joseph Breighner 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.

Years surrounded by God

Father Joseph Breighner February 28, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

We are surrounded by God even though we can’t always feel or see God. God keeps us alive. I’m glad that I’ve lived long enough to share God with you. 

A boy and his dog

Father Joseph Breighner February 1, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

I think it’s fair to say that my dog saved my life. I would come home from grade school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Essex. Our little apartment was empty. My father was absent. My mother was working. My older brother and sisters were either in school or at work. But my dog, King, was there.

Ego, be gone

Father Joseph Breighner January 8, 2018
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Blog, Wit & Wisdom

In 2018, Father Breighner suggests allowing God to enter our lives each day of the new year, so we can become the presence of God in our world.

This Christmas, rediscover silence and God

Father Joseph Breighner December 24, 2017
By Father Joseph Breighner
Filed Under: Commentary, Wit & Wisdom

At Christmas we get to celebrate God made man in the fullness of time. May we one day be able to celebrate the God who lives in us and through us all the time.
