Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020

Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

Overcoming Unbelief

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

We see that God speaks highly of a man named Caleb that he would be the only one to enter into the Promised Land which God promised he would give to him and his descendants. Not only did Caleb receive commendation from God, there was a promise of God’s blessing on his descendants too.

For today’s meditation we will look at Deuteronomy 1:36, “Only Caleb son of Jephunneh will enter it. He has remained faithful to me, and I will give him and his descendants the land that he has explored.'” (GNB) A background about Caleb We see that God speaks highly of a man named Caleb that ...read more

We Are More Than Conquers……!

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Jan 14, 2019

As the children of Israel were about to enter the promise land, the Lord appeared unto Joshua and said; “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous….” (Joshua 1:5-7).

In Romans 8:37, Paul coined a new terminology, saying “More than Conquers”, if you studied the 35th verse of Romans 8, you will understand why he expressed his communication with that terminology. It says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or ...read more
