    It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

    On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more

    This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.

    Mark 1:1-8 WHAT WOULD JOHN THE BAPTIST SAY TO YOU? Sometimes, when you hear the same thing all the time, it starts to become less and less meaningful. For example, right now, at this time in the year, the newspaper, the TV, and the radio are all saying the same thing: “There is a special sale ...read more

    A Good Place To Start

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

    The difference between a good meal and a great meal depends on your hunger, and so it is with your appetite for God.

    The difference between a good meal and a great meal depends on how hungry you are when you sit down to eat. The difference between a good church and a great church depends also on the level of your hunger. So how hungry are you? What are your expectations? The Gospel of Mark opens with ...read more

    Our task as a Church is to continue the work of John the Baptist, to proclaim the coming of the Messiah, the Christ, the one who’s brought salvation to all people and the gift of God’s Holy Spirit to renew us and transform us.

    It’s now just over 15 years since Mulder and Scully first appeared in the series ’The X-Files’, asking "Could there be something out there?" Mulder believed that the ’Truth is out there’ but Scully wasn’t quite sure. Of course, although the questions they were raising echoed those of lots of ...read more
