"The Father said, "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him." At the Wedding at Cana, his mother said, "Do as he tells you." Listen to him. Do as he tells you." - Monsignor Lavalley

Monsignor Lavalley wraps up his Advent mission at Holy Name of Jesus parish. Evening 3. He offers thoughts on St. Peter, a broken church, and us. "Are you broken? Are you broken?” he asks. “St. Therese says, ‘That's where the sun comes in. That's where the Son comes in.’”

Monsignor Lavalley continues his Advent retreat. Evening 2. "A college student once asked me, 'Father, if you learned that the Eucharist was just a symbol, would it change your life?' And, I said, 'change my life? It would absolutely devastate me - because I would have to adjust to the fact that God loves me less than I thought."

He is near – An Advent retreat with Monsignor Lavalley at the Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Morrisville (VT). First conference. “We are broken and we are weak. And we are a broken church, and we are weak. We do not save ourselves. Jesus does.”
