Call And Look Unto God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 24, 2020

Our prayers today are so much about ourselves and with time we have lost that much needed touch with God. It has become more of a routine or duty. But it is time we turn to God, seek Him with our whole heart and return to the everlasting spring leaving behind the traditions!

Call and look unto the Lord We read in Psalm 91:2, I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." (GW) As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, if we were to take a moment to analyze our prayers, we would be surprised to know that most of them are ...read more

Las Acciones Agresivas De Jesús Al Tirar Las Monedas

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2018

Alegóricamente, el santuario es el alma indisciplinada, llena no con animales y mercaderes sino con apegos a lo terrenal e insensato

Leí recientemente la historia de un chiquillo lleno de lo que podría ser ‘celo’. Su padre contó: “Una mañana mi esposa preguntó a Jud, mi hijo de cuatro años, que qué quería para el desayuno. El contestó: ‘Sopa’. . “Hijo”, respondió ella, ‘no comemos sopa para el desayuno. La sopa es para el ...read more

Grain Of Wheat Principle

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 9, 2018

“Lord, protect me from the things I want. If they're not in accordance with your will. ~Amen.”

Lent5B You can tell that Jesus eat whole grains by his analogy of a kernel of wheat falling to the ground and dying to produce life. It was in reference to his sacrificial death, but he gives it to us as an over-arching spiritual principle of dying to selfish desires, e.g. like the ...read more

“Señor, protégeme de las cosas que deseo si ellas no están de acuerdo con tu voluntad.” Amén.

V Domingo de Cuaresma B Ustedes podrán decir que Jesús comía granos saludables al escuchar la analogía del grano de trigo que cae en la tierra y al morir produce vida.

Holy Thursday: Feet Washing

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 12, 2018

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Literally "unto eternity." Peter grasped that complicity in this act involved acceptance of a radical reinterpretation of his own life-world and ours!

Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Literally "unto eternity." Peter grasped that complicity in this act involved acceptance of a radical reinterpretation of his own life-world, a genuine conversion of some kind which he was not prepared to undergo. Jesus confirms this by replying, ...read more

Good Friday: The Nailing Of Jesus

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 15, 2018

By invoking the power of the Spirit and linking it to the Cross, Paul effectively dislodges one from any cross-less spirituality.

The Crucifixion of Christ horrified well-disposed pagans, and Christians were taunted with the disgrace of having such a God. Christian art only gradually overcame the repugnance to realistic representations of the death on the cross. At first the cross was represented as studded with ...read more

Viernes Santo

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 18, 2018

Cristo crucificado es la fuente de la salvación eterna y la verdadera revelación de la sabiduría y el poder de Dios.

La Crucifixión de Cristo horrorizó a los paganos bien intencionados y fue objeto de burlas para los cristianos en el sentido de la enorme desgracia que era para ellos tener un Dios humillado de esa espantosa manera. El arte Cristiano gradualmente venció la repugnancia realista de la ...read more

Easter Impact

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018

Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.

John, called the Beloved Disciple, is clearly the hero of Easter morning! He is spiritually superior with love and understanding; runs fastest. Between John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene— all of whom were at the empty tomb on that first Easter morning— only John had faith in the Physical ...read more

Divine Mercy

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 26, 2018

Divine Mercy Sunday is the Sunday after Easter

To better get a grasp of what is Divine Mercy, we could apply “homeopathic theory” to our situation. It will take a dose of what made us sick to cure us. Our sins are what made us sick, and are what drove Jesus to experience his Passion, but His resurrection and glorified wounds heal us with ...read more

The Nature Of The Resurrected Body

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 1, 2018

The Bible tells us that when Jesus returns to earth, he will physically raise all those who have died, giving them back the bodies they lost at death.

Easter 3B The Gospel today makes us ask ourselves one fundamental question, an essential question in the Easter Season: how would you react if Jesus appeared to you? Would you recognize him? In the First Reading, Saint Peter tells the Jews that they didn’t recognize the author of life, their ...read more
