  • Third Sunday Of Lent Year B- Cleansing The Temple

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 5, 2021
     | 3,170 views

    Jesus is doing disruptive even violent actions here, shocking me out of my consumerist mentality. No wonder my Savior hangs on a Cross.

    Whipping us into shape? “He made a whip out of cords.” John 2:15 Jesus made a whip. Making something with your hands can be therapeutic. Making a whip shows his anger did not impair his judgement. Writing an angry letter is a good way of bringing our feelings out so that we can see them. ...read more

    We need the ground for all those negatives things to die.

    And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” John 12:32 He draws us, not forces us. Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’” Song of Songs 1:3, “Draw me after you.” He draws us by his suffering for ...read more

    The trial reveals a political theology where resistance and resilience are faithful Christian practices

    Pilate questioned him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” He said to him in reply, “You say so.” Meaning, “is this a personal discovery? Or are you just repeating what others have told you?” In a famous sentence Plato said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” We may also say the ...read more

  • First Sunday Of Advent, Year B: Advent Hope

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2023
     | 2,230 views

    Optimism is an assessment. Hope is an act.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?" 1 Advent is not a penitential season; it’s a period of devout and expectant delight, yet we intuitively understand that it is not possible ...read more

    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

  • Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Heal

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 14, 2024
     | 718 views

    The answer to the “tsunami of secularism” is nothing less than a tsunami of the Spirit.

    In the film “Dead Man Walking,” there is a striking moment of contrasting pastoral styles. As the condemned prisoner, Matthew Poncelet, walks to his execution, the prison chaplain, Father Farley, suddenly appears to offer his blessing — a dispassionate ritual performed from a safe distance. ...read more

  • In Christ Alone - Philippians 3:3b-8 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2022
     | 993 views

    The true people of God are those who serve God by means of the Holy Spirit (living the Christian life by exposing ourselves to the Spirit’s influence and cooperating with what he does) and who glory in Christ alone, rather than putting any confidence in the flesh.

    The true people of God are those who serve God by means of the Holy Spirit (living the Christian life by exposing ourselves to the Spirit’s influence and cooperating with what he does) and who glory in (rely on, hope in, rejoice in, count on, run after, regard as supremely important) Christ alone, ...read more

  • Third Sunday Of Easter, Year B- The Physicality Of The Resurrection

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 15, 2024
     | 994 views

    Incarnational spirituality

    A mother proudly told her pastor: “My teenage son has finally learned one bible verse: It’s Luke 24, verse 41, from today’s Gospel, where Jesus says to his disciples, “Have you anything here to eat?” Literally, in the Greek, it’s “anything edible,” so they looked around, and most likely gave him ...read more

  • Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 540 views

    Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

    This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more

     | 10,836 views

    The balance between royal invitation, and choice.

    A MARRIAGE FEAST FOR A ROYAL SON. Matthew 22:1-14. Following the failure of the chief priests and Pharisees to lay malicious hands on Jesus (Matthew 21:45-46), Jesus “answered and spoke to them again by parables” (Matthew 22:1). He spoke of the kingdom of heaven being “like unto a king, who made ...read more

  • The Unjust Steward

    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,478 views

    Some thoughts on a challenging text.

    THE UNJUST STEWARD. Luke 16:1-9. For centuries interpreters have been more than a little puzzled, perplexed and disturbed by the parable of the unjust steward, at the beginning of Luke 16. The Emperor Julian, otherwise known as Julian the Apostate, even tried to use this parable to show that ...read more

  • The Rich Man And Lazarus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,735 views

    Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

    THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. Luke 16:19-31. It was against the Pharisees who were lovers of money that Jesus spoke the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a sad story, which shows two men in quite different lifestyles in this life, and the fate of each of them in the life to come. 1. The ...read more

    "First, I preached my church empty, and then preached it full again."

    David Foster Wallace said, "The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you,” in other words, the truth has to be assimilated in your conscience before it can set you free. Stanley Hauerwas, of Duke Divinity school, says, in effect, that, when we don’t let the truth ...read more

    Setting the scene for the whole discussion of Romans 9-11, Paul finds himself astonished at his own people's failure to embrace Christ.

    A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5. The crescendo of the previous glorious chapter meets the jarring note of Paul’s passion for his own people - God’s ancient people, ...read more
