Police recover stolen bicycles
Halifax Regional Police recovered a number of bicycles and scooters this weekend that are believed to have been stolen throughout the region.
On June 22 officers located approximately 40 bicycles and scooters along with numerous parts in the area of the 2400 block of Barrington Street in Halifax. The bicycles, scooters and parts have been seized and investigators are attempting to locate the owners.
If your bike was recently lost or stolen, and you would like to see if it’s been recovered by police, HRP’s Lost & Found Property can be reached at 902-490-5232.
It is good practice to keep your bike locked up, in a well-lit and well-travelled area. Take a photo of your bike and record its serial number as this will assist in identifying it if it becomes lost or stolen. Cyclists can also register for the free 529 Garage program, which can help reunite owners with recovered bicycles.
HRP encourages people to report their bikes stolen to police as soon as possible with as much information as possible, including the serial number, make, model, speed, colour, and any distinguishing markings. File a police report online or by calling 902-490-5016.

I have a terrible sense of direction. I easily get lost in my own hometown. I rarely know the fastest way to get somewhere and, if someone asks me for directions, I’ve learned it’s better to admit I can’t help them…

I’ve never forgotten that hour of adoration. The Lord used that hour and my desire to be nearer to Him to speak directly to me, assuring me that, regardless of any trial, I can trust in Him.

When something a little too big to grasp looms in front of me, sometimes I find it helpful to listen to the Holy Spirit in my littleness and to notice His goodness in this.

In our modern world, when we hear prophecy, we often have a very specific idea in mind: someone who knows the future for certain, who speaks of this future in mysterious language.

Hold everything in this world with an open hand. I don’t know who said that originally, but it has been passed on to me and I periodically reflect on it.

I am writing this reflection from bed. This is day 2 of the first cold I have had in nearly 4 years and, as some of you will agree, day 2 often seems to be the worst day.

It’s so relatable to me that, the first time God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, he went to Tarshish instead. He clearly didn’t believe God, didn’t listen, and didn’t do as he was asked.

God’s revealing Himself to humanity in meekness, in glory, and in power!
Our second reading for Sunday points to the beauty of revelation.

As someone who has come to appreciate her Catholic faith after migrating to a different continent, the words of this Sunday’s Psalm have tremendous power when they state: “Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.”

One of my biggest struggles in my faith life is feeling like I’m not good enough. I want to carry myself under my own strength, achieve success and holiness all by myself, and then bring that perfected person to God.

How do we have faith? When the going gets rough and we’re full of doubt, how do we trust and hold on to hope?

Grateful to share some thoughts on the nature of God. 🩶
As I write, a lightly scented candle burns before me and the first snowfall of the year tucks in the Christmas lights we strung outside last night. My dog is curled up on a blanket, and my children sleep soundly in their beds.

This psalm is a song about singing. When we sing (even badly) we can express a joy, joy, joy, joy down in our hearts that mere speaking cannot produce.

In my humanness, it becomes hard work to remain joyful … to be prayerful … and sometimes, most particularly, to give thanks.
Yet that is precisely what Paul is calling me to do.

There is still so much to be learned about the feminine genius--the great gift women are--and their gift to the Church. I believe this verse "It is not good for man to be alone" has implications we have not yet understood.
I don’t know why there’s a discussion on female leadership in the church, but I’d like to share my experience of growing up in the Catholic Church and serving Her as a priest for 26 years.
I expressed concerns about a priest who was very well liked in our diocese. He was t doing anything illegal, but some of his struggles were very grave matter.
He was a sort of con man, he could win a room over in no time at all, and he did it with the men in charge in our diocese. Heck, he convinced me for a very long time.
In the end, he brought the weight of the Diocese against me twice. Both times he did so in a successful effort to discredit me because of what I believed about him.
In the end, it was a woman who had recently been placed in a position of great authority in our diocese who heard me and believed me.
It was the first time that happened to me; that I felt listened to and believed.
In a short amount of time after that, the priest was removed from ministry.
Men and Women working together imitate God: they create life.
Our Church should model this, in my opinion.
I do not believe the Church has the authority or duty to ordain women.
But I do believe we should change the way we interpret pastorship and I believe that women should be in positions of authority within the church. Their jobs should have teeth so that this isn’t some kind of placation nonsense.

Have you ever wondered what a “robe of righteousness” would look like? It would probably be a modest-looking piece of clothing that caused the person wearing it to appear radiant.
