    In a ‘slow motion moment’, black and white turns to living color! The boring brilliant! The mundane becomes magnificent!

    O – ordinary R – routine D – dull I – inferior N – normal A – average R – repetitive Y – yawn These words, along with a few others of like kind, could be used to describe an evening with the shepherds.

     | 1,566 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

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

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,192 views

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

    There used to be a sign in the Princeton University Book Store basement which said: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Clever but love of enemies and forgiving, commanded by Jesus in our Gospel this Sunday, is not hoping that the other person will change or trying to be ...read more

    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

    Valentine welcomed them on arriving and wished them God-speed when they left.

    In Rome, where St. Valentine lived and died as a martyr for Christ, at the one-mile marker on the Flaminian Way, was a basilica dedicated in his name. It was a "munifice ornate” (magnificently ornate). [source: Carola MacMurrough, The Catholic Valentine, Orate Fratres, January 1, 1941]. Love ...read more

  • "Check The Fruits, Fix The Roots” --8th Sunday In Ordinary Time

    Our First Reading relates the steady application of three processes over time to create a separation or distinction based on intrinsic properties of quality: faults revealed when one speaks, santification, and discernment

    Sirach, chapter 27, from our First Reading, relates the steady application of three processes over time to create a separation or distinction based on intrinsic properties of quality: 1). The first is the image of shaking a mesh strainer to reveal the husks from the kernel which is similar to ...read more

  • Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A -- 17th Sunday, Year A

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 25, 2020
     | 3,619 views

    It’s so important that ordinary Catholics read Scripture as a devotional inquiry which the Catholic Catechism calls “the intimate sense of spiritual realities which believers experience.”

    A foolish old farmer, so the story goes, concluded one day that the oats he had fed his mule for years were simply costing him too much. So, he hatched a plan: He mixed a little sawdust in with the feed, and then a little more the next day, and even more the next, each time reducing the amount of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,359 views

    As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I focus on many temporary things rather than focusing on Christ’s mission to build the Kingdom of God on this earth permanently.

    Reflection Lose Your Life to Find the Life There was a priest, who was transferred from a parish. On his farewell day, he spoke for 45 minutes blowing his own trumpet that I have done this, I have done that, I started this, I started that.

    Otherwise, politics is about "bread and circuses."

    Have you ever noticed that when you combine the two words, “THE” and “IRS,” it spells “THEIRS”?

By allowing Caesar to collect taxes, Jesus opposes the Pharisees by acknowledging ...read more

    Several times the sparrow flew at the closed window and smacked itself into it, until it got so weak it could no longer fly; it only could walk.

    Pastor Don Friesen tells a fascinating story about a sparrow that somehow got into the rafters of St. Helen’s Parish Church in the English town of Brant Broughton. At the time of the intrusion, they were recording a guitar recital for later broadcast on the radio. The chirping bird didn’t exactly ...read more

     | 999 views

    Statistically, in St. Matthew’s Gospel, words and expressions which emphasize obedience, the doing of God’s will, are among his favorite.

    Nikos Kazantzakis was a tortured Greek writer who was constantly haunted by God. He once wrote of an experience he had when he climbed Mount Athos to visit a monk at a monastery. “Father Makarios,” he said to the old monk, “I remember that in your younger days you wrestled with the devil. Do you ...read more
