Wednesday Night Reflections from Archbishop Mulhall:  St. Mary’s Cathedral (279 Johnson Street, Kingston).  We have begun our Wednesday 7:00 pm spiritual reflections in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. I look forward to our time together. Throughout my priesthood and especially in the past several years, these moments of prayer and reflection together have been deeply rewarding for me.  At the end of last August, we completed our reflections on the Our Father & prayer in general. This coming year between Advent & September, I propose to reflect with you on the Beatitudes of St. Matthew’s Gospel Chapter 5 as well as a series of Psalms of the Old Testament which we pray each day at Mass. As usual, we will also give time to the liturgical celebrations of Advent/Christmas & Lent/Easter as we pass through the year. It is good to remember that there is no starting point or end point as in a series of lectures or an academic course. Though we refer to previous reflections, we repeat our thoughts frequently so that anyone can join at any stage or miss weeks without losing any necessary points or developments. I like to think of our reflections as one long continuous series of reflections on a mystery from countless starting points. All these reflections I pray will be beneficial for us at whatever time of life or stage of our spiritual pilgrimage. The Lord, in whose presence we will pray together will always provide the grace, consolation, & strength that we need to make steady progress in our life of faith.
