Holy Family Apostolate reflection, May 2013Posted onMay 14, 2013byBishop Gary M. GordonThe poustinia is a state of constantly being in the presence of God because one desires him with a great desire, because in him alone can one rest.Because you are more aware of God, because you have been called to listen to him in your inner silence, you can bring him to the street…Holy Family Apostolate reflection – May 2013 This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Holy Family Apostolate, March ReflectionPosted onMarch 6, 2013byBishop Gary M.

Lent: Light in the darkness

Lent: Light in the darknessPosted onFebruary 19, 2013byBishop Gary M. GordonThe long dark nights of winter are giving way to Lenten spring. Yet even in the darkness there is life, as is seen by the giant mushrooms growing in our West Coast rain forest.Like the desert where Jesus spent 40 days and was tempted to not put all His trust in the Father, so often the darkness of life and places of desert in our hearts can tempt us away from entrusting our lives to God.Even our empty churches can tempt us to look for a different God The season of Lent gives us the opportunity to see deeply the life and light found in the darkness and in the desert
