  • Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Opening Up Of A Relational Space By Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,254 views

    Forgiveness is a conditional gift offered that opens a relational space that expects a reciprocal response.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 8, 2025
     | 258 views

    Jesus is coming for you when he is ready, not when you get ready.

    Our Gospel parable today of the Supervising Servant tells us that everybody has a day when we will be judged immediately after death, but the day and time is unspecified, and so Jesus is giving a series of admonitions saying to be prepared and vigilant. Jesus probably delivered the parable as a ...read more

     | 240 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

Before that night in Bethlehem, humanity waited in hope and prophecy. After that night, the ...read more

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 29, 2026
     | 132 views

    After fifteen years of waiting, the moment finally arrives—but it doesn't look like a Hollywood coronation. David is crowned in Hebron, a partial fulfillment that tests his stewardship of the small before he receives the great.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 18, 2024
     | 722 views

    The principle of “No one is good but God alone

    Jesus knew He was God and said so: He was accused of being God at his trial. Jesus revealed his divinity by miracles, and by His Resurrection, but he never says to the crowds, “Hey, everyone, I’m God.” In today’s Gospel, he goes undercover. To illustrate: In the TV show, Undercover Boss, a ...read more
