"I said to the Lord, 'All You've done is given me back my peace, my innocence, my dignity. It's not logical that I be afraid of You, but I am. You are Love, and You've proved it to me, but I'm afraid of You, afraid of what You might ask of me, afraid of what You are asking of me. It frightens me. Take away my fears so I can do what You want me to do.' "
Peace I Leave You

homily by Fr. Colum Power
"When we are in God's love and grace, in His will, in His truth, there is nothing to fear; only sin and selfishness take away our peace. Listen to the beating of your heart. Examine how you sleep at night, and you will be able to tell whether you have God's peace or not."
Unless the Grain of Wheat Dies
May 3, 2010
homily by Fr. Colum Power
"There will be a fruitfulness that is disproportionate to our littleness and to our poverty if we travel that journey from purgation to illumination to union with God. We must enter into the way of martyrdom, of death to our human calculations and human prudence, and enter into the dynamic of courage and generosity and availability to God. And that will change the world, because God is with us."
True or False. Black or White.

homily by Fr. Colum Power
"Ambiguity is wanting to have it both ways, wanting to know the truth, and living in the lie. Making up excuses. They say the devil's favorite color is gray. They say that ambiguous people are those who live in the shadow, and not in the light. And they can be standing right in front of the truth and not recognize it."
Feed my Sheep

homily by Fr. Colum Power
"What does Christ mean when He says to Peter, 'Feed my sheep'? What He meant was, 'give them your flesh to eat, and your blood to drink. Be, with me, sheperd, gateway and food for them."
Conquered by Christ
April 23, 2010
homily by Fr. Colum Power
"Paul was not humiliated by God's power, but instead, was humbled by God's humility, by His vulnerability, a God that allows Himself to be wounded, even to the point of being nailed to the Cross."
Just Passing Through
April 19, 2010
homily by Fr. Colum Power
"I'm just a visitor, only passing through. Three years ago, I almost died from leukemia. After during a six month process of chemo, radiation, etc., I was brutally educated on the utter transcience of this life."
