    In contrast, Cynic philosophers of the era were known for their provision bag, staff, and big mouth!

    15B My favorite ancient Greek philosopher is the stoic Epictetus (epic-TEE-tus), who taught, “It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters," which is at the heart of some Catholic Christian adaptations of various Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. Epictetus, who taught ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 195 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    The New Jerusalem Community in Cincinnati has “70 x 7” painted over the main doorway.

    We hear in our Gospel, we have to forgive, “not seven times but seventy-seven times.” One guy responded, “Great, not only do I have to forgive my brother, now I have to do math.” Jesus adds: Forgive from your heart. Without forgiveness, the weight of the debt over time means the residual ...read more

     | 1,227 views

    The suggested response for how to process that and thank him is simply to be his friend.

    In all the artwork that portrays our Gospel scene today, the artists show John the Baptist pointing at Jesus, often with his whole arm extended, saying, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The only people who are allowed to point at others, and even yell, are Drill Sergeants! John was not ...read more

    Fifth Sunday Of Lent, Year B--I Tried But It Died: Grain Of Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 15, 2024
     | 1,387 views

    A Christian is obliged to let go, to put himself into hands that are not his own of letting oneself go into the hands of God.

    Wheat is associated with being sewn in the ground, buried, geminating and then springing up for bread to feed multitudes. These are all symbols of Christ’s passion, death, resurrection, and communion with his Body, the Church with Jesus, saved in his Sacrifice at Calvary. The seed has to be buried ...read more

     | 455 views

    An image or fantasy is presented to me...

    Satan tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and his Father. “If you are the Son of God,” Satan begins two his temptations. Same with us, with baptism, “If you are a child of God.” Doubting baptismal identity. Lent is a time of self-appraisal and accountability. When we remember and reflect on our ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 6, 2025
     | 299 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more
