    17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

    I like “how to” videos: How to sew on a button, how to char broccoli, even how to train your dragon. Our Readings this Sunday teaches us how to get out prayer problems. 1).

    Have you noticed how frequently Jesus is depicted eating? Luke mentions 19 meals, 13 unique to this gospel alone. This reveals something special about Jesus—He valued meals not just for food but as powerful opportunities for ministry, relationship-building, and extending God's kingdom.

    A Glutton If you've read the gospel of Luke - have you noticed just how often Jesus is depicted as eating? It's everywhere - there are 19 meals in Luke, 13 of which are unique to this gospel. In fact, Robert Karris, a Christian author and professor, puts it like this: “At just about ...read more

    Two cockroaches were munching on garbage in an alley when one engages a discussion about a new restaurant. "I was in that new restaurant across the street," said one. "It's so clean! The kitchen is spotless, and the floors are gleaming white. There is no dirt anywhere--it's ...read more

     | 4,560 views

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence, but rather keep a healthy distance.

    There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was a fence. The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up ...read more

    In contrast, Cynic philosophers of the era were known for their provision bag, staff, and big mouth!

    15B My favorite ancient Greek philosopher is the stoic Epictetus (epic-TEE-tus), who taught, “It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters," which is at the heart of some Catholic Christian adaptations of various Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. Epictetus, who taught ...read more

     | 1,499 views

    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

  • Fourteenth Sunday Ordinary Time, B— Thorn Of Paul: His Faith Narrative

     | 1,525 views

    Application about Paul’s teaching about his thorn: He was active in interpreting his life experience to himself and others

    Paul Powell said, “Troubles knock a lot of nonsense out of us.” Like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from our Second Reading taken from 2 Corinthians, chapter 12 , which he says was given to him by “an angel of Satan.” It was not a sin problem. e.g. Winne-the-Pooh comes downstairs, bump, bump, ...read more

    The suggested response for how to process that and thank him is simply to be his friend.

    In all the artwork that portrays our Gospel scene today, the artists show John the Baptist pointing at Jesus, often with his whole arm extended, saying, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The only people who are allowed to point at others, and even yell, are Drill Sergeants! John was not ...read more

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

    What does it feel like to touch Jesus’ clothes? What does it feel like to have power come out from you?

    Our Gospel today is about two people who came to Jesus for help with a medical problem. “My left arm hurt me,” said a senior citizen, “and so did my right foot, my neck and my back. Then I went to the doctor and he tapped my knee with a little hammer.” “So how are you now?” asked a friend. “Now ...read more

     | 261 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more
