Jesus is Risen! Alleluia! This Easter season, we once again celebrate the power and love of God - who defeats sin and death. Two pandemic Easters...so we continue to honor those who have died, but we also have faith in the Resurrection. So, let us rejoice in God! Christ is risen!

[Brophy Office of Faith and Justice @BrophyOFJ]

Lady Day! March 25th is the traditional date that Catholics celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation. Exactly 9 months before Jesus' birth. The angel visits...to ask Mary to bring Christ into the world. Let's all bring Christ into the world more each day. Our Lady, pray for us.

Brophy's Alivio for Lent! People experiencing homelessness and asylum seekers in Phoenix need our help. Bring to the Octagon your contribution of things like new socks and new travel-size toiletries, lightly used jackets and/or sweatshirts. Almsgiving = Men and Women for Others.

[Brophy Office of Faith and Justice @BrophyOFJ]

Ash Wednesday at Brophy - We began the season of Lent calling the community to be mindful of the three pillars of Lent - Almsgiving, Prayer, and Fasting. To go into the desert with Jesus, we received ashes on our heads...ready to return our hearts to God.

Brophy is celebrating Catholic Schools Week by offering "A Walk for Life" exhibit on campus. Care for creation, the unborn, LGBTQ persons, and the immigrant, and the fight against racism, the death penalty and euthanasia go hand in hand. Let's be pro-whole-life!

[Brophy Office of Faith and Justice @BrophyOFJ]

Are you pro-life? Really pro-ALL-life? Then, you can't deny climate change...you can't support racists or systemic racism, you can't mistreat immigrants...you can't forsake the unborn...you can't reject LGBTQ persons...you can't ignore the condemned or take away healthcare...Amen

As Psalm 98 proclaims, "The Lord our God does marvelous things!" Mary's Immaculate Conception! Her appearance to Juan Diego as Our Lady of Guadalupe! The blessings of Advent and the coming of Christ! Sing a new song to the Lord! https://t.co/hJKZTMiFFy

Dec 8th is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary...the greatest disciple...embracing the Gospel from the beginning. What is the Immaculate Conception? Mary was born without Original Sin, prepared by God to hope she, in freedom, would say yes to bearing the Christ.

[Brophy Office of Faith and Justice @BrophyOFJ]

Brophy prays in Advent...Reconciliation services, our campus wreath, celebrating Marian feast days...so many ways to prepare for Christ's coming. How can we more concretely act in hope, faith, love, and peace? Let's light the candles in our hearts too...

Our first 2020-21 immersion was a successful "eco-mersion" embracing Pope Francis' "Laudato Si" - taking Brophy students to southern AZ, hiking the historic De Anza Trail on the Santa Cruz River near Tubac, the beautiful Tumacacori Mission, and camping in Coronado National Forest

Brophy has students from many faith traditions...the Jewish community began its celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the new year, last evening. These holy days recall the beauty of God’s creation and remind us to be in awe and solidarity with our common home. https://t.co/Gs8UkGRnCz

Brophy Votes! and the Catholic Tradition strongly encourages political engagement with dialogue to promote civility, clarity, and compassion - discussing how policies may or may not reflect the Gospel and justice teachings of the Church. Let's model faithful citizenship.
