In these stressful times, Father Collin Poston’s four-legged friend has some advice.

Ask the Lord today to show you someone you need to forgive or someone from whom you need to seek forgiveness.

May our eucharistic Jesus give us that renewed life, and powerfully change and transform us from the inside out.

If we know the voice of the Lord Jesus well, and we continue to respond to it, then we know what follows it: an abiding peace and confident hope that cannot be taken away.

Let us “start strong” and “show God” to the world and those around us, and give a demonstration of the unseen by being Christlike in our lives and in our love.

Every day is a gift from our Heavenly Father. May we not take it for granted but live it as such, and allow the light of Jesus to shine in and through us so, as to illuminate and brighten our often dark and troubled world.

As the Lamb of God, he gives himself to us in the Eucharist to empower us to conquer our own sins – and allow him to increase more and more within us and in our lives.

When we complain about another, we often take a position of judgment. Yet only God is the ultimate judge, our Christ.

Father Poston offers some tips for making the most of this Advent season.

One of more profound memories from my priesthood involved a visit a few years ago with an elderly man in the hospital who was dying.
