    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 25, 2025
     | 508 views

    In the spirit of allegory

    They caught one hundred fifty-three large fish. Why was the actual number mentioned, does it mean something? Theories abound, with most saying it’s an allegorical number. For example, St. Jerome saw 153 as representing all the known fish species which represents the catholicity or universality ...read more

    Twenty-Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Dishonest Steward Or Shrewd Manager

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 18, 2025
     | 358 views

    Baptized believers should use the worldly resources they possess to serve God's eternal kingdom by being generous and helping the poor, and do it in a way that involves street smarts, enterprise, and proactive initiative.

    There’s an old story about Moishe, a medieval Jewish astrologer who prophesied that the king’s favorite horse would die soon. Sure enough, the horse died a short time later. The king got angry at Moishe, certain that his prophecy had brought about the horse’s death. He summoned Moishe and commanded ...read more

    There are problems with sheep too

    Problems and challenges for shepherds and sheep-- Timothy Laniak in 2007 tells the story of a Bedouin Arab and an American scholar sitting under a tent discussing what it takes to be a true shepherd. The Jordanian shepherd insisted that the heart is the most important thing. He lamented, “My ...read more

     | 910 views

    “We’re dying on the vine here!”

    Today, we hear about pruning and abiding to bear fruit. Regarding pruning, “There’s a sucker born every minute,” is an expression used in the hope of making money selling something worthless to a gullible customer. Similarly, in gardening, sucker shoots are false branches or stems that suck the ...read more

    Heaven is not just up, but in.

    The 212-area code is Manhattan, and it’s a status symbol as one of the most recognizable area codes in the United States. It’s considered more authentic than the more recent 646, 332 or 917 area codes for Manhattan. With a 212 Manhattan phone number, you’re sure to turn some heads, stand out from ...read more

    “Nothing ever happens in the world that does not first happen inside a mind...”

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024
     | 791 views

    It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

    “When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: No One Is Good But God Alone

     | 718 views

    The principle of “No one is good but God alone

    Jesus knew He was God and said so: He was accused of being God at his trial. Jesus revealed his divinity by miracles, and by His Resurrection, but he never says to the crowds, “Hey, everyone, I’m God.” In today’s Gospel, he goes undercover. To illustrate: In the TV show, Undercover Boss, a ...read more

     | 683 views

    The date of the end of the world cannot be known based on prophecy.

    We are nearing the end of Ordinary Time as Advent draws near and so the theme this time of year is on the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the world. People are telling end of the world jokes like there is no tomorrow! E.g., A comedian spoke of a Pentecostal preacher who had predicted the end ...read more

    Unanswered Prayer (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,846 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more

    The end of a year means the beginning of inventory for many businesses. It is also a good time to take inventory of our lives before we adopt any New Year’s resolutions.

    A PERSONAL INVENTORY “The young man said to Him, ‘All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” Matthew 19:20. For many businesses, the end of the year is the beginning of inventory. It is also a good time for us to take inventory of our spiritual life and the degree of our ...read more
