     | 2,535 views

    Everything that Jesus does, or that people do to Jesus, gives Him an opportunity to teach or preach to us hard-skulled folks.

    Tuesday of the 28th Week in Course 2020 Wash Up! I’m pretty certain that somewhere in this wide Catholic world there is a smart-Alec youngster who hears this Gospel and mouths off to mom: “Jesus didn’t wash up before dinner. Why do I have to do that?” In these days of almost overdone attention to ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 87 views

    Following Jesus means embracing His challenging teachings, trusting Him even when it’s hard, and letting His words transform us beyond our comfort and preferences.

You’re reading the Bible in the early hush of morning, coffee cooling by your chair, and a sentence seems to stand up from the page. It has weight. It has heat. It asks ...read more

    I have heard it said: “living for God easy is hard; living for God hard is easy.” It is the difference between getting in the boat and setting down and standing on the edge and trying not to fall out. The latter isn’t a question of ‘if’ you fall out, it
