Fr. Kubicki 2 Minute Prayer Reflections

Are you afraid of the end of the world? Father gives comfort, if you do have fear, in the words of the Our Father. This time of year, the Church gives us readings of the end of the world but be at ease with this reflection.

Today is the feast of Saint Gertrude. Father explains the importance of the image of the Heart of Jesus for a living relationship with God. What does this have to do with Saint Gertrude? Father explains in this reflection.

Is science and religion opposing to each other? Father answers this question and shares some surprising facts about the great leaders who made leaps in the field of science. That said, science is just one of the ways in which we come to know things.

Father shares some thoughts from Pope Francis about this month where we remember those who have passed on before us. Our hope is that we will come to a resurrected body one day. How do you think about this reality?

Today is the feast of Saint Frances Cabrini. This great saint dreamed of being a missionary when she was a little girl. She eventually did become a missionary but not in the way she was expecting. You may be able to relate with this saint.

How Many Catholic Churches are there that are united under the Pope? This means something which you probably don’t expect. Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Jehoshaphat, a Saint who belongs to one specific church in the Catholic Churches.

Happy Veterans Day. Today is also the feast of Saint Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who clothed a poor man with his own cloak who turned out to be some more important than Saint Martin would have ever expected.  

Father shares his thoughts on today’s Gospel about today’s widow who contributed all she had. In the same way Jesus contributed all He had for us, His whole life. Our lives must imitate Christ in giving all we can.

Today we celebrate the dedication of the Pope's Cathedral in Rome, Saint John Lateran Basilica. There is a tradition that the wooden alter which Saint Peter celebrated Mass on is still there today.

Father talks about what Saint Paul teaches about the Body of Christ. Do you consider yourself part of the body of Christ like your own body has different parts but is one body? Even though we may die we still remain in the body of Christ.

Father Kubicki reminds us that we are part of the body of Christ as Christians, both the living and the dead. We should never limit ourselves to asking, “how can I save myself” We must also ask how can we help each other to heaven.

Do you think that when you come to the end of your life here on earth you are going to be perfect? For most of us, we will not be perfect when we die. But don’t you have to be holy in order to see God? Father explains how this works.

Do you believe in heaven and hell? Did you know Jesus taught about both? Did Jesus talk about purgatory at all? Father Kubicki answers the very logical question of why purgatory is important to be in existence.

Today is the feast of Saint Charles Borromeo, a great bishop who helped others in many different ways. How do you deal with many distractions while at Mass? Father gives the answer to this and other questions in this reflection.

Father talks about a word from the book of Deuteronomy which Pope benedict commented on. What was this word and what does it mean? Father Kubicki answers this intriguing question on today’s daily reflection.

Today is All Souls Day, a day where we remember the souls of the faithful departed who still have attachments and effects from their sins. Let us pray for the souls of people who have gone before on this day.

Today is the feast of All Saints Day. Father shares some words from Pope Benedict about the saints in comparison to a garden of flowers where the Spirit of God has given live and sanctification.  

Today is the eve of All Saints Day, otherwise known as Halloween. Why do we honor the saints? Father Kubicki explains why we honor the saints and how their honor is actually reflected on God’s honor and glory.

Father talks about the need for people’s hearts to have celebrations and rituals. However, when God is removed from our society these rituals and celebrations take on very dark tones. Let’s keep holidays well and holy in our lives.

Today is the feast of Saint Simon the Apostle and Saint Jude the Apostle. Why do these two apostles go together in the Church’s calendar. Father shares some words from Pope Benedict to help explain this question.
