    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

    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

    Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfilment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness

    At the wedding rehearsal, the bride told the priest that she was nervous that she would not remember what to do during the wedding.

     | 1,747 views

    “It isn’t necessary for [others] to like me to save my life, and I don’t need to like them for me to be saving their lives.”

    The Guinness Book of World Records keeps track of some very unusual records. The 1999 edition contains one entry titled, “The longest time living in a tree.” It seems a man in Indonesia named Bungkas went up a tree in 1970 and has been up there ever since. He lives in a crude tree house made ...read more

  • Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time- If–then–else: "Blessed Are You"

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,469 views

    Shalom is not an indiscriminate gift of Yahweh. It is conditional.

    In computer programing languages there is a standard code that states: If–then (–else) which means: “IF” YOU DO THIS “THEN” THIS WILL FOLLOW OR ELSE THIS HAPPENS. It works the same way for some of the conditional blessings that God wants to give us that we hear in our Gospel today: IF you do ...read more

     | 1,467 views

    Application about Paul’s teaching about his thorn: He was active in interpreting his life experience to himself and others

    Paul Powell said, “Troubles knock a lot of nonsense out of us.” Like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from our Second Reading taken from 2 Corinthians, chapter 12 , which he says was given to him by “an angel of Satan.” It was not a sin problem. e.g. Winne-the-Pooh comes downstairs, bump, bump, ...read more

     | 1,425 views

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 6, 2025
     | 198 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

  • Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Lazarus And The Rich Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2025
     | 394 views

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,301 views

    Sometimes the ordinary seems mundane, but occasionally it turns exraordinary. This is a narrative of an ordinary day turning into much more. Even a "nobody" can do something extraordinary in the hands of God.

    Jael’s Extraordinary Day Judges 4:17-24 Jael’s life was nothing if not predictable. Living in the low mountains of Eastern Israel, bordering Canaan, among the scorpions and rocks and dust, Jael’s life was difficult at best, and monotonous at worst. Boredom and monotony were her ...read more

  • Having Amazing Faith

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Sep 6, 2011
     | 6,310 views

    Faith must be exercised or it becomes limited. You will never do what God desires of you in your own strength. Faith works best in the impossible realm because that is where God does His best.

    Amazing Faith Luke 6:46-6:49 Introduction- Talk to you about faith! If you had to describe your faith, what would it look like? Better yet, how would someone else describe your faith? Is it out of the box? Extreme? Expectant? Or would you have to shaky, unstable, overtaken by times of doubt? I want ...read more

    Just as those brave rescue workers dashed back into the burning twin towers to try to rescue those in peril we too must be willing to help rescue a brother or sister in Christ who is wandering from the truth/
