    Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Speck And Beam

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,441 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

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 27, 2023
     | 1,099 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

     | 1,084 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

    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

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Bartimaeus

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2024
     | 741 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 Baptism of the Lord First Sunday in Ordinary Time

    One of my favorite movies is made by the Coen Brothers. It is called “O Brother, Where Art Thou.” It features George Clooney and John Turturro as these escaped convicts in the depression of the 1930’s in America. George Clooney is a smooth-talker in jail for practicing law without a license. ...read more

    It is time for new beginnings, a time for resurrection; a time for emptiness to be filled, a time of obedience and time for us to live by eternal time not ordinary time.

    The boat was 26.5 feet long, 7.5 wide and 4.5 feet high, the fore and aft sections were decked.

    The boat was 26.5 feet long, 7.5 wide and 4.5 feet high, the fore and aft sections were decked. Jesus had gone to the back of the boat to catch a nap, and then a storm hits. “Why doesn’t he intervene?” “Do you not care that we are perishing?” E.g.

     | 9,943 views

    In this reflection, we reflect on how we move from the confusion of Peter to the focus of Jesus, from the cross of our lives to the crown of our heavenly lives by following Christ Jesus with our conduct in our lives on this earth.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,797 views

    The sermon focus on the Kingdom of Heaven/God. Further, it reflects that we may sow the seed of love to accommodate the poor, the migrant, and we may mix the yeast of love to reach out to insignificant and needy people, building the Kingdom of Heaven/God wherever we are and whatever we do.
