  • "ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020
     | 5,945 views

    Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

    The message of Jesus has not changed in over two thousand years. He still tells those with ears to hear to repent and believe in the Gospel. In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

     | 3,140 views

    No pandemic can overpower us because we have the gracious gift of Jesus with us.

    Reflection 1. Fear no one: Today, Jesus says that fear no one. We live in constant fear of something. We read in the first reading, where Jeremiah says: “I hear the whisperings of many:       ‘Terror on every side!       Denounce! let us denounce him!’   ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 27, 2023
     | 1,167 views

    Sanctity is less about the evil we resist than the good we embrace.

    There was an interesting report in the news a while back. It was about an event designed for college kids. The purpose was to get them to take weeds seriously. One pundit called it “the World Series of weeds.” Agriculture students from universities in the U.S. and Canada competed in being able to ...read more

  • Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Clever Dogs

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 4, 2023
     | 1,148 views

    The woman understood the testing or riddle or allegorical challenge of Jesus.

    Jesus puts Jews and gentiles under the same roof, and the first to get there is the Canaanite woman from our Gospel today. In fact, you could say that the day the gospel went to the dogs was the day it came to us. In Catholic Christianity, the word dog is used positively in mottos, by saints, ...read more

  • Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Bartimaeus

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2024
     | 811 views

    Jesus never gave any person with a disability, who was begging, money or any material goods.

    Bartimaeus, called “a blind man,” in Mark 10:46, is begging on Jericho Street, we hear in our Gospel today, and a verse from the First Reading, Jeremiah 31:8, describes those such as him as the “blind and the lame.” Today, we would be more sensitive and say that Bartimaeus is “person who is blind; ...read more

    The one commandment that Christians have kept, religiously, over the twenty centuries of the Church is “This is my Body. . .This is my Blood. . .do this in memory of Me.”

    Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ 2024 The 20th century English priest and convert, Msgr Ronald Knox, used to say that if you go over all the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, you find instructions for leading an exemplary Christian life, including the Ten Commandments and the rather ...read more

  • Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time; Year C

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 5, 2022
     | 2,502 views

    We have archeological evidence that some ancient Jews had recourse to magic or superstition. For example, many wore an amulet with the stated purpose of to attract people to them, or to prevent against curses.

    There is an old story of a man who needed to send a letter from his remote camp to the neighboring village, so he asked his son to make the trip. The son had never traveled to the village on his own. He looked at the trail ahead of him and said, “I’ll go, Dad, but I don’t see how that path will ...read more

     | 1,903 views

    We are the people living in stone houses. And Jesus is challenging us with this teaching.

    Some Blog writers collect lists of humorous First World Problems, like Losing the TV Remote, Being Hungry But Not For Any Of The Food In Your Fridge, your walk-in closet is not big enough. Our Gospel today mentions two people who suffered from “First World Problems.” 1). “Teacher, tell my ...read more

     | 1,525 views

    Thomas Merton said, “Nothing is more suspicious in a man who seems holy, than an impatient desire to reform other men.”

    Many issues have both psychological and spiritual components as we hear today in our Gospel, “How can you say to your brother,‘…let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? The message is: Be careful of pointing out the shortcomings, moral ...read more

    What happens when the joy in heaven overflows to earth?

    When Joy overflows! In these extra ordinary times! By my calculations its just five days to Christmas Day Morning and I’m trying to get a sense of the anticipation that might have been in the air some 2020 years ago. First of all, I suppose that we ought to ask who it was who was anticipating? ...read more

    How God uses ordinary people to perform miracles.

    I admit that more times than not, I have stood in this position confessing my favorite scripture passages, but beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is one of my very favorites.
