Jeremiah was known as the “weeping prophet” and the “prophet of a broken heart,” for he cried for Jerusalem. What caused his grief? The people had rejected ...read more

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 547 views

    Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

    This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more

    The Great Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 3,685 views

    This will be a day like there has never been before. This time of intense trouble will go on longer than we want and it will be more intense than we want. Jesus seems to tell us that this time of mega affliction or Great Tribulation will be just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

    God's Love Has Your Name On It

    based on 75 ratings
     | 11,396 views

    In the midst of an increasingly impersonal culture, we can find strength in the knowledge that God’s love for us is intensely personal.

    (Note: I am indebted to Rick Warren for the title of this message; the sermon itself is original) One of the more troubling aspects of the modern age is the creeping de-personalization of our lives. More and more, as we go through the day, whenever we’re dealing with a branch of government, or a ...read more
