  • Third Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Advent Joy On Gaudete Sunday

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 21, 2024
     | 1,242 views

    How many admonishing or warning songs or hymns can you find?

    Today the Church takes a break from the penitential color violet (often referred to as purple) which symbolizes penance particularly because Pilate dressed Jesus in a purple robe to mock his kingship. Today, however, is Gaudete Sunday and the color is Rose (often referred to as pink) as we ...read more

    Divorce has plagued the church from the beginning. We cannot stop it, but perhaps we can slow it.

     | 369 views

    An encounter with Jesus Christ through Scripture, prayer, and friendly conversation

    You are among the seventy-two disciples Jesus appointed, and commissioned by your baptism, and confirmation to tell others that Jesus saves. The verb used is “apostle”: He literally “apostled” us into the world. The Church officially teaches in the National Statutes of OCIA that baptized ...read more

  • Twenty-First Sunday-- In Ordinary Time, Cycle C- The Narrow Gate

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 23, 2022
     | 1,642 views

    There is a saying, “The nearer the Church, the farther from God”.

    In Readers Digest, David Barman, from North Miami Beach, Florida, wrote that at the university where he teaches, the school has a policy of giving a + designation for grades. A 78 is a C+, an 89 is a B+. A student received his final grade and was adamant that I left off the plus sign. I looked ...read more

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, C-- Lazarus And Therapy Dogs

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,665 views

    Someone has said that this is the only prayer in the Bible addressed to a saint that was not answered.

    We heard today from Luke 16:21, which says “Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.” Admittedly, the grammatical construction in the Greek can be translated as “worst of all" dogs would lick his sores. However, the ancients knew when a dog licks a person's sores or wounds, healing ...read more

  • Second Sunday Of Advent C, Advent 2-- Crying Out In The Desert

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2021
     | 1,724 views

    Can we say to John the Baptist this Advent, “The Wind Brought Your Voice To Me?”

    We don’t sing the Gloria in Advent until the angels sing the "Gloria in excelsis Deo" at Christmas but we do hear a prophetic voice, crying out in the desert, which are often windy places. The voice is from John the Baptist, carried on the whistling wind, that says, “Prepare the way of ...read more

  • Twenty-Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Divine Passives

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 3, 2025
     | 199 views

    How? By (1) being small; (2) daily fervent prayer (3) and knowing that God’s grace precedes and enables our good works, the (4) fourth is tapping into the “fulfillment formula” of God’s sovereignty by God’s divine passives.

    Walking or moving in the Opposite Spirit is a teaching from Saint Ignatius of Loyola, [Agere contra, Latin “to act against"]. This spiritual practice involves purposefully acting in the opposite direction of your natural inclinations to produce a positive spiritual resolve and result. So, the ...read more

  • A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,681 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

  • A Tree Planted By The Waters

    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,043 views

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

  • An Overview Of The Book Of Joel

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,331 views

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

    From bondage-to-the-law to an heir-of-God through Christ.

    THE CONTEXT OF THE INCARNATION. Galatians 4:1-7. ‘The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith’ (cf. Galatians 3:24). The picture is as of an heir to a great estate, who in his infancy is under the control and tutelage of guardians and stewards. ...read more

    THE TRIUMPHANT ENTRY AND THE CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE. Matthew 21:1-13. Jesus approached Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover with His disciples - and to present Himself as the ultimate Passover lamb (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:7). Yet it has to be clear from the beginning that Jesus was coming as the ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,611 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more

    It is good to give thanks to the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE SABBATH DAY. Psalm 92:1-4, Psalm 92:12-15. We open with the declaration, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD” (Psalm 92:1a). Perhaps our prayers are too often loaded down with petitions: but we should be thanking God for past benefits, even as we make our requests known to ...read more
