     | 6,859 views

    You have a story to tell

    Spiritual blindness often has ideological roots and rational presuppositions.

To illustrate: Two psychiatrists were talking and one ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,470 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    A spiritual master said, “I used to be deaf. I would see people stand up and go through strange movements in a whirling motion. They called it dancing.

    The motto, ‘living life on life’s terms’ means to accept the circumstances, environment and things out of our control.

    In contrast, Cynic philosophers of the era were known for their provision bag, staff, and big mouth!

    15B My favorite ancient Greek philosopher is the stoic Epictetus (epic-TEE-tus), who taught, “It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters," which is at the heart of some Catholic Christian adaptations of various Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. Epictetus, who taught ...read more

     | 1,155 views

    The New Jerusalem Community in Cincinnati has “70 x 7” painted over the main doorway.

    We hear in our Gospel, we have to forgive, “not seven times but seventy-seven times.” One guy responded, “Great, not only do I have to forgive my brother, now I have to do math.” Jesus adds: Forgive from your heart. Without forgiveness, the weight of the debt over time means the residual ...read more

    The suggested response for how to process that and thank him is simply to be his friend.

    In all the artwork that portrays our Gospel scene today, the artists show John the Baptist pointing at Jesus, often with his whole arm extended, saying, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The only people who are allowed to point at others, and even yell, are Drill Sergeants! John was not ...read more

    Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A; 16th Sunday , Year A-- Weeds And Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 21, 2020
     | 4,381 views

    This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).

    If we ask, "why is there evil in the world?" we must also ask "why is there good in the world?" We get our answers this Sunday: Beginning with pre-history “while everybody was asleep” (Matthew 13:24-30), the weeds represent the enemies of God, who are: Satan, demons, and humans ...read more
