The Blessings Of Hardships

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019

Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

True Leadership Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021

As the culture of power and death sees it today, leaders have to be tyrants without hearts or they can’t get anything done.

2nd Sunday of Advent Cycle C “Lead, or follow, or get out of the way.” This bulldozer philosophy of leadership sat prominently on the desk of sports-and-media maven Ted Turner. Almost a century earlier, another notorious anti-Catholic, Havelock Ellis, wrote a sneering thought about ...read more

A God Who Satisfies

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Nov 13, 2022

Not all of us have the same wages, same privileges, same opportunities, same talents, same abilities, same health conditions! Whatever it may be, we can be 100 per cent certain that our satisfaction comes from God and not from what we have.

A God who Satisfies And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. Exodus 16:18 God led the people out of Egypt. In Egypt, Pharaoh asked Joseph to ...read more

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 11, 2020

This is a great promise since one modern anxiety is whether or not we can have any certain knowledge.

Here is a joke that the choir members can perhaps appreciate: Saint Peter is checking ID’s at the Pearly Gates, and first comes a Texan. “Tell me, what have you done in life?” says St. Peter.

Many people in life often become distracted by events or circumstances beyond their control which inevitably result in a lack of positive direction.
