    Saturday of the First Week in Advent 2023 There’s a vivid feeling of urgency about the Advent readings from the prophet Isaiah, a constant agony about factors not under the control of Israel as they await their Messiah.

     | 1,301 views

    We have to expect to have epiphanies.

    I saw a comic strip that said, “The Three Wise Accountants” and one of them said to Mary and Joseph just before Jesus was to be born in the manger, “If you can hold off a week, you can deduct the child on your Year One Taxes.” We hear Isaiah 60:1 in our First Reading; “Your light has come,” ...read more

    We have to be ready for Christ every moment of every day. It is our 24-7 responsibility as Christians.

    First Sunday in Advent 2023 In many churches, the prescribed hymn for the first Sunday in Advent is “Wachet Auf,” which in English is usually rendered “Wake, awake, for night is flying, the watchmen on the heights are crying; awake, Jerusalem, at last.

    As we end this year of grace, we can confidently face the future, even if we never have a really good king or president or prime minister in our earthly life.

    Christ the King 2023 I have pretty strong memories of the Feast of Christ the King during my elementary years at a Catholic boys’ school.

    The victory is God’s, but sometimes it takes a long time to achieve. And sometimes that victory is only in the willingness of martyrs to give up everything in witness to their faith.

    Saturday of the 33rd Week in Course 2023 I recently read an article summarizing statements made by likely voters in one of the state primaries. One of the participants lamented about the state of the nation and asked, “Is there anyone other than me that feels like this is Rome 476 A.D.?” (Of ...read more

    Going Up To The Real Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 15, 2023
     | 536 views

    Lepers were outsiders. They were ostracized from society, and could not enter either Temple or synagogue.

    Wednesday of the 32nd week in Course 2023 Ten lepers came as near to Jesus as they dared. That would have been fifty to eighty meters. Their chronic skin condition, maybe Hansen’s disease as we see such infections these days, has ruined their social and religious lives. They were ostracized from ...read more

    If someone suffers from depression, hearing to “rejoice always,” may spur the reaction: “I don't like being told what to feel.

    Today is Gaudete Sunday. “Rejoice (Gaudete) in the Lord always,” we hear in our Second Reading. The United States was founded to give people the right to pursue happiness; the Gospel invites people to receive the gift of joy. J.O.Y. is Jesus, Others, You.

    Squander yourself for hope in Christ.

    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from the tissue paper. “Here’s the donkey!” he said. “Here’s a king,” and “Here’s a camel!” When he finally got to a one-piece tiny infant molded to his crib, he proclaimed, “Here’s baby ...read more

    The experience of God is transcendent, in a sense more real than anything we’ve felt or smelled or seen. It is an experience of ultimate goodness, awesome beauty, and absolute truth.

    Thirty-Second Sunday in Course 2023 Every human being yearns for true happiness. The problem with us as we grow up, however, is that our earliest experiences even before birth start us off in life as materialists. After conception, we are either growing or we are dying, so we are nutrition hogs; ...read more

    Saturday of the 31st week in course 2023 Saint Paul wrote his letter to the Church at Rome during his lengthy stay with the Church of Corinth, so this happened late in his third and final missionary journey.
