This Advent, enter into God’s time

Bishop Robert Reed Dec 4, 2023 0
Very often, the first Sunday of Advent comes so soon after Thanksgiving that we hear ourselves saying, “Is it Advent already? Where does the time go?” We have been so immersed in the spirit of autumn — from the back-to-school routines to…

Aiming lives toward the joy of love

Bishop Robert Reed Nov 13, 2023 0
God’s voice is never silent ­— he is always calling to us to come nearer, to go deeper, to respond to the love he has for us every day. What’s more, he never stops calling people to religious vocations — to the priesthood, to religious…

Refreshing your own faith during the summer

Bishop Robert Reed Jun 19, 2023 0
The summertime, for me, is really the most wonderful time of the year. I begin waiting for its return from the first cold morning in the autumn, and then in earnest just after the Christmas rush. Taken together, the summer months, with…

The beauty of motherhood

Bishop Robert Reed May 10, 2023 0
My mother had a love for things that were simply beautiful. Our family home had touches of Japanese artwork, and the backyard was laid out more like an Asian garden than a typical New England landscape. Reflecting back, I think my mom had a…

Parents and life aren’t perfect, but love makes a house into a home

Bishop Robert Reed Apr 26, 2023 0
My parents were both raised in Boston. My mom was of Irish Catholic descent, and my dad was a Scottish Presbyterian. Both were hard workers and great dancers who loved a good party. In the late 1950s they built a house in a new development…

Things to watch for during the holiest of weeks

Bishop Robert Reed Apr 3, 2023 0
We who have been Catholic most of our lives tend to not expect any surprises during the week that begins with Palm Sunday. We know we’re going to do a lot of standing and kneeling, a bit of fasting, and then a lot of feasting. We know the…

Bringing back the simplicity of Advent

Bishop Robert Reed Nov 28, 2022 0
When I was a kid, the Reed family’s “Christmas season” began right after our Thanksgiving dinner. After our second helpings, we’d head over to the North Shore Shopping Center in Peabody, Massachusetts. This was not a Black Friday scramble!…

Our journey to sainthood

Bishop Robert Reed Oct 31, 2022 0
I love the saints. The saints are close to me, often in my mind and with me in my prayers. In some ways it’s tempting to think of the saints as the spiritual “superheroes” of the Church — think Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Captain America. We…

Back-to-back

Bishop Robert Reed Sep 7, 2022 0
Sometimes I wonder how I made it through six different academic institutions and ended up with numerous degrees. I say that simply because each September I dreaded returning to the classroom. Perhaps I needed a more positive attitude, but I…

Let it go … and offer it up

Bishop Robert Reed Mar 14, 2022 0
In recent years, there have been more and more ways to sell personal items online and make a little spare cash. While we used to have to pay for classified ads in the local newspaper or tack an index card on the bulletin board in the local…
