Since, in some places, the Epiphany is celebrated today… 🌟
Reflection for this weekend… We all long to belong. The Epiphany reveals a God who welcomes everyone - no exceptions. Christ meets us where we are and invites us to do the same: open hearts, open doors, and make room for all in the light of grace.

January 6, 2021… It was a sad and terrifying day when democracy was violently assaulted. Yet, the main instigator has not been held accountable - and even worse, 51.5% of voters 🇺🇸 have said, “We want him back!” Prayers for our southern neighbours 💔 #democracy #justice

As a concerned Canadian 🇨🇦: We have oil, lumber, potash - resources the world depends on. In a time of shifting alliances and power plays, it’s fair to ask: are we next? Let’s stay awake, engaged, and committed to peace, sovereignty, and the common good. #CanadaStrong🇨🇦

When you feel inadequate, you’re exactly where grace begins. God doesn’t abandon those who trust Him - He strengthens them. Stop relying only on yourself. Place your full trust in His powerful help. #ThoughtForTheDay inspired by St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨

New Year’s reflection… Before rushing into plans and resolutions, let’s pause for a moment. Like Mary, to be present - to ponder what God is already doing here and now. The year doesn’t need answers yet. Just an open heart. 🙏✨

#YearInReview 🍁 Welcoming my brother and sister-in-law to Canada gave me fresh eyes. Through simple excursions, I rediscovered how beautiful this country is - local, close, and often overlooked. Sometimes it takes slowing down to see the wonder right in front of us. #CanadaBeautiful 🇨🇦🍁

#YearInReview 🌊 Grateful for a few quiet days on the Pacific coast earlier this year - space to breathe and reflect. It may be my last visit to the United States for a while. In the midst of so much turmoil, I pray for democracy, accountability, healing, and peace for our southern neighbours. 💔🇺🇸
