    Neverland and Peter Pan have entertained children and adults for generations, but there are misconceptions among Church people that are nothing less than fantasy with no foundation in reality.

    When the Roman soldiers saw this man sitting on this donkey, they would have never dream that He would be a threat to Roman, much less a king!!

    The Jews were looking for a king, and Jesus shows up and proclaims He is Son of God, the Messiah but He shows up with no army, no weapons, no political power, He couldn’t even get the religious leaders to back Him and the Jews would never expect their king to be nailed to a cruel cross with ...read more

    In today's less we are told that the gospel is a very special kind of wisdom that can only be discerned by those who are spiritually mature, that is, by Christians.

    Scripture “That’s not fair! Why can’t I do it?” If you are a parent, you recall hearing these words at one point or another from one or more of your children. You try to explain your decision to your child. “It’s for your own good,” you say. “No, ...read more

We are always go go go, and rarely stop to thank the person/people in that means most to us in our lives.

    We need to take St. Peter Chrysologus as a model for our witnessing, and be able to tell our witness to Christ and the Church in less than a minute.

    July 30 2014 St Peter Chrysologus Today’s Gospel must be specially important to the Church, because we heard it on Sunday, and Monday, and again today. Because it is so brief, we might be tempted to think otherwise, that it is forgettable. But we forget it at our peril, at the peril of our ...read more

    Explore the necessity and benefits of humility, using the example of John the Baptist, who embodied the principle of "He must become greater; I must become less."

    Good morning, family! We're going to be diving into some deep waters today, exploring a theme that's as vital today as it was in the time of Christ: humility.

    A message about reclaiming what God created us to be, in relationships.

    I want to begin by asking a rather fundamental question… for you to consider within your own soul… Who are you? Interesting question… we might begin answering it with simply our name… or our roles in life… or perhaps our relationships. Yet each seems to long for a deeper answer. As you ponder ...read more

     | 4,307 views

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

    The Call to Quietness I have to say that I am very glad that our gospel reading today skips over the horrific story of the beheading of John the Baptist, and rather moves on chronologically from last week. We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more
