    Crowds And Connections

    Contributed by Peter Fisher on Apr 18, 2020
     | 2,770 views

    In Covid-19 lockdown, life is all about NOT being in crowds, how can we celebrate Palm Sunday

    This is the day … “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Well, I don’t know about you, but it feels more like “how shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land”. That’s from Psalm 137:4 and was the Jews response to being exiled to Babylon. WE/US Let US ...read more

    The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,560 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more

    Yes, A Church Leader Must Have A Sense Of Humor Series

    We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.

    Thursday of the 7th Week in Course 2019 St. Hilarius Today we have a rare treat because of the late date of Ash Wednesday and Easter. We get the rare festival of St. Hilarius, about whom I will speak in a moment. By now, most years, we are deep into Lent, and so the saints’ days are suppressed in ...read more

    The slavery to sin that we all labor under for some part of our lives is destroyed by the infinite loving power of Christ.

    Tuesday of 23rd week in course 2019 St. Agnes Tsao-Kou Ying We don’t become disciples of Jesus Christ on our own volition. We must be called to follow Christ. Some teachers have misunderstood this to mean that some are called and others are not called, and therefore are damned to perdition by ...read more

    The life of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is inspirational but off-putting to some.

    St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross August 9, 2018 We are the people of the New Covenant, the covenant made in the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Israel was brought out of Egypt by the power of God. He then gave them the Old Covenant made in the blood of lambs and oxen, written on stone in the Ten ...read more

    Water Flows From The True Temple Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2020
     | 2,766 views

    Jerusalem is on a series of hills, and water has to be brought into the city from elsewhere. But the real Temple of God, the Precious Body of Christ, is the source of living water.

    Dedication of the Lateran Basilica 2020 Water Flows from the Temple There are few feasts quite as confusing as today’s commemoration of the dedication of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, a church in Rome. But it’s not just “a” church in Rome, it is the church in Rome. If I asked a thousand ...read more

    Jesus And Youth Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 20, 2023
     | 5,544 views

    Young people slowly turn away from the Church. They loose interest in Christ. They feel boredom in the preaching of pastors, even a young man had that problem in Mark. A little further walk with Christ could have given him a great light. Where are you today, O young man?

    Lesson 15 Mark 10:17-23 Jesus and Youth in Mark “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Someone needs to remind them to remember. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.” (Psalm 119:9). “It is good for a man that he bears the ...read more

    The True Purpose Of Pentecost Series

    All of us need clear vision, and not just of material things.

    Thursday After Pentecost 2021 It has been said, probably ever since humans walked the face of earth, that the “winners write the history.” The winners also endeavor to craft the culture that they live in. So, for example, after the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the Norman princes built ...read more

    When To Be Seen; When Not To Be Seen Series

    Do we let our good deeds shine out or do we do them in secret? Is Jesus talking out of both sides of His mouth here?

    Wednesday of 11th Week in Course 2019 A priest I know preached recently on this passage from St. Matthew’s Gospel and pointed out that this part of the Sermon on the Mount appears to contradict the earlier passage that tells us not to hide the good that we do under a basket. So do we let our good ...read more

    The Apostle John’s life is an example of the Christian Life in Spiritual Growth and Maturity. In John’s life we see three levels of maturity.

    Apostle John’s the Beloved -Growth in Spiritual Maturity- Introduction Jesus called 12 men of different personalities, passions and skills to follow Him and become His disciples. We call them Apostles because Jesus commissioned and sent them out as His Missionaries to preach, teach, baptize and ...read more

    Why "Doubting Thomas" Got A Bad Rap

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,260 views

    In our world today we face doubts all the time. Doubts in our ability to be salt and light. Doubts in God’s ability to use us for his great plan. Doubts about our worthiness to God. But Thomas let his doubts bring him closer to Jesus.

    1. The world belongs to God. 2. All we have belongs to God. 3. Our lives belong to God.

    It is said that Bishop Edwin Hughes once delivered a sermon on “God’s Ownership” of all that we have. In his congregation there was a very wealthy parishioner who took offense at his message. That week he called and asked the Bishop to come over to his home for lunch. During their visit, the ...read more
