    Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A - 19th Sunday, Year A -- Walking On Water

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 30, 2020
     | 3,081 views

    There is an element of test in Peter’s condition, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Peter asking Jesus “to command” him suggests the alignment of Peter’s will with the will of the Lord.

    IN THAT BOAT, which the church has always identified as herself, is where we want to be because it can provide the sure way for us to get to the other shore, to heaven; and, in this life, take us to new horizons. But along the way we are caught in a storm and face danger. 1.We need to pray ...read more

    Jesus In The Boat Of Your Life

    Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Aug 16, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 16,834 views

    This sermon highlights the benefits of having Jesus, the Captain of our Salvation sail with us as we go through different situations and seasons of life.

    Jesus is always looking for a ‘boat’ – a heart, a life, a ministry, a business, a family, a church, a nation to enter into. When Jesus got into Peter’s boat, Peter didn’t shut or shove Jesus out of his boat, he allowed Him in. Allowing Jesus into his boat, gave Peter a life-changing encounter with ...read more

    “When are we going to stop rewarding each other for doing too much?”

    Marilyn McEntyre said, “At a faculty council meeting a few years back, a colleague raised what I thought was the best question of the year: “When are we going to stop rewarding each other for doing too much?” “I admired her for asking it,” Marilyn said, “It was rooted in sound ...read more

    The ancient prophet Haggai teaches us about how to fulfill Jesus’ first great commandment.

    Who’s First in Your Life? The prophet Isaiah declared, as recorded in Isaiah 6: “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and ...read more

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: "When In Doubt, Cut It Out.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2024
     | 756 views

    It is not hyperbole to say that it is better to enter heaven maimed [one-armed, one-footed, and one-eyed] than to enter hell whole. That is literally true.

    “When Jesus exaggerated” is a book title, and there are countless articles on how Jesus uses exaggeration and hyperbole for effect, like we hear this Sunday; to literally cut off your hand or foot or gouge-out your eyes because then you won’t sin with them.1 However, “it is not hyperbole to say ...read more

    Twenty-Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Dishonest Steward Or Shrewd Manager

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 18, 2025
     | 321 views

    Baptized believers should use the worldly resources they possess to serve God's eternal kingdom by being generous and helping the poor, and do it in a way that involves street smarts, enterprise, and proactive initiative.

    There’s an old story about Moishe, a medieval Jewish astrologer who prophesied that the king’s favorite horse would die soon. Sure enough, the horse died a short time later. The king got angry at Moishe, certain that his prophecy had brought about the horse’s death. He summoned Moishe and commanded ...read more

    Thirty-Third Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B: The End Of The World And Tender Branches

     | 639 views

    The date of the end of the world cannot be known based on prophecy.

    We are nearing the end of Ordinary Time as Advent draws near and so the theme this time of year is on the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the world. People are telling end of the world jokes like there is no tomorrow! E.g., A comedian spoke of a Pentecostal preacher who had predicted the end ...read more

    The word I’ll use is faith, faith over fear

    Dan Dailey, writing in the New York Daily News, tells about overhearing a woman in New York discussing her neighborhood.

    Don’t season regret with rebellion

    In the First Reading, the complaint was with the grapes, they were too sour to be eaten or made into wine despite the favorable conditions (Isaiah 5:1-7). In the Gospel, the complaint was with the vineyard workers, in other words, the religious leaders in Jesus' time who often killed the ...read more

    The Catechism teaches that the spouses are ministers of the sacrament of Matrimony by expressing their consent before the Church. They confer Christ’s grace upon each other (no. 1623).

    Today’s readings bring before us some fundamental teachings on marriage. Marriage requires a couple to prepare 4 types of "RINGS”: - The Engagement Ring - The Wedding Ring - The Suffer-Ring - The Endue-Ring 1) One highlight on marriage from Saint Pope John Paul II-- Is on what he calls ...read more

    A call to repentance, a call to change to our country, to the church, and to ordinary people.

    We continue this morning with our walk through a short book written by a friend of Jesus called Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector, and 2000 years ago being a tax collector really was an unpopular job! Being a tax collector was a bit like being a ‘collaborator’ during the Second World War.

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C- The Beatitudes: Area Code 212 Or 04?

     | 631 views

    Heaven is not just up, but in.

    The 212-area code is Manhattan, and it’s a status symbol as one of the most recognizable area codes in the United States. It’s considered more authentic than the more recent 646, 332 or 917 area codes for Manhattan. With a 212 Manhattan phone number, you’re sure to turn some heads, stand out from ...read more

    Sir Michael Costa, the celebrated conductor of the 19th century, was holding a rehearsal.
