Wit & Wisdom

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.

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.”
