Living Our Faith with Bishop Reed

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…

How can we be ‘Easter people?’

Bishop Robert Reed Apr 4, 2021 0
by Bishop Robert Reed Rich man & the beggar Year after year, we pass through the penitential season called Lent, and on Easter we bring back our ‘Glorias’ and ‘Alleluias’, and we feast again. We might hear that we are “Easter people.”…

Conversion in the new year

Bishop Robert Reed Jan 4, 2021 0
We all know how the “newness” and fresh feeling of a new calendar year can quickly be forgotten. That new year enthusiasm, manifested in resolutions to do better in this or that area of one’s life, soon gives way to the doldrums of this…

Living Eucharistic lives

Bishop Robert Reed Aug 17, 2020 0
by Bishop Robert Reed The news last August that growing numbers of Catholics no longer believe that the Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ naturally led many commentators to wonder how we can reignite people’s faith in this profound mystery…

The powerful witness of fatherhood

Bishop Robert Reed Jun 21, 2020 0
by Bishop Robert Reed I had two fathers when I was growing up. I know that sounds strange. The fact is, my birth father, William, was killed in a car accident just before I received my First Holy Communion. My mother remarried a…

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

Bishop Robert Reed May 14, 2020 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…

The spiritual benefits of retreats

Bishop Robert Reed Mar 2, 2020 0
Lent is a period of prayer and preparation, and some Catholics like to include a retreat in anticipation of Easter. Even the pope and his closest advisers in the Vatican schedule a retreat during the early days of Lent. I’ve found that many…
