    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2025
     | 640 views

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more

     | 1,261 views

    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

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

    Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time Year A-- 1/60th Of Salt

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2026
     | 93 views

    1/60 is 1.66%, adding this small amount of salt to food would not only be "flavorful" but would likely make the food taste quite salty!

    For the Jewish people, 1/60th was the mathematical fraction if some non-Kosher food, like Korean Galbi -- marinated grilled beef or pork short ribs-- was accidently mixed-in to your Kosher food- it would still be OK to eat since 1/60th is such a small amount. Not 1/60th, but with lots of salt, ...read more

Without forgiveness, the weight of the debt over time means the residual ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,671 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
