    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,226 views

    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. Ask: Where is the hinderance, Lord? When Jesus does for us what we can’t do for ourselves by removing the ...read more

     | 1,472 views

    Salt is not for itself; it is seasoning for food. In the same way the disciples are there not for themselves but for the earth

    During the children’s service, the pastor was explaining that Christians are the “light, salt, and leaven” of the world. The children understood “light” and “salt,” but when the pastor asked them what “leaven” is, they were silent. Finally, young Michelle Williamson spoke up: “It’s what comes after ...read more

    Fourteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time: Three Kinds Of Yokes

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 13, 2023
     | 2,056 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

     | 1,745 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

    Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time- How To Walk On Water.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 5, 2023
     | 1,557 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

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Heal

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 14, 2024
     | 754 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

    Are we holding up OUR part of the covenant of our vocations?

    Jesus walks into a bar. “Just 12 waters, please,” while winking at his disciples. I saw this post on social media, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH PAGE OF THE BIBLE EXPLAINS HOW TO TURN WATER INTO WINE?

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025
     | 91 views

    Fire, judgment, separation, crisis, – can bring a new opportunity for growth in faith.

    Lodgepole pinecones are very compact, and they will only open to disperse their seeds under intense heat, as in a forest fire. We hear a similar idea today in our Gospel that fire means judgment, which results in separation, creating a crisis, but which also means opportunity. So, fire, ...read more

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 607 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

    God works in ordinary times, with ordinary people, but when he acts -- it is in extraordinary ways!

    Everyday that I drive down Killian Hill Road on my way to work, I have to drive slowly and carefully through some of the construction areas. As you drive in those areas, there are all sorts of signs. "Speeding fines doubled in work zones." “Left lane ends, merge right" “Caution – Men At ...read more
