Many gifts but only One Source.

Saturday of the 29th Week in Course 2023 Our Lord frequently prayed at night, perhaps because His fame spread so widely in a short time that people desperate for help surrounded Him every day (except perhaps the Sabbath). So what did He do when praying? We can learn a great deal from His ...read more

Saturday of the 22nd Week in Course 2023 The overall impression one can get from this very brief Gospel from Luke is that the Pharisees have nothing better to do on the Sabbath than find fault with how other Jews keep Shabbat.

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

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022

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

Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2022

The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more
