     | 1,553 views

    Even in the fruit-bearing hearers of the word there are gradations.

    I saw a neighbor working in his front yard wearing a funny T-Shirt that said, “Sorry I Can't My Plants Need Me.” In today’s parable from Matthew, chapter 13, the seed is the Word of God (verse 20), and the ground is our hearts (verse 19). It all depends on what kind of soil a person is because ...read more

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Heal

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 14, 2024
     | 575 views

    The answer to the “tsunami of secularism” is nothing less than a tsunami of the Spirit.

    In the film “Dead Man Walking,” there is a striking moment of contrasting pastoral styles. As the condemned prisoner, Matthew Poncelet, walks to his execution, the prison chaplain, Father Farley, suddenly appears to offer his blessing — a dispassionate ritual performed from a safe distance. ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 20,307 views

    Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is filled with Christian imagery (intentional or not). This message looks at four spiritual themes found in the first of the trilogy.

    In just 3 days, the story will be complete. Actually, the story was completed 48 years ago, but in 3 days the final part of the trilogy will be released on the big screen. I’m talking, of course, about The Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien released his first fantasy work called The Hobbit way ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 13, 2023
     | 1,692 views

    Jesus’ yoke is a "system of instruction, admonition, and discipline."

    There are three kinds of yokes: an egg yolk, the yoke of a shirt around the neck of the garment, and a yoke mentioned in our Gospel today, which is a wooden bar or frame of wood by which two oxen are joined at their necks for working together. Biblical and Jewish faith calls religious instruction a ...read more

     | 340 views

    Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

    This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more

     | 1,418 views

    To walk on water means to perform a task where the challenge greatly exceeds one’s level of skills without becoming anxious and stressed.

    How to walk on water. I saw a cartoon that showed a lady walking on some cases of bottled water and the caption read, “Walking on water”! Another person said, “I walk on water every time it rains. Thin water, but water just the same. [And] just so you know, I drive on water too.” To walk on ...read more

    The deeper the cleansing, the deeper we hear the Lord’s calling and commission to labor for the salvation of souls.

    They fished at night because they did not have nylon nets back then; they used thick linen nets which the fish can see during the day, so they fished at night; but they caught nothing.
