    What are the advantages of being faithfulness to God, the other, and the self?

    Reflection The readings of today (1 Kings 19:9a;11-16, Matthew 5:27-32), call each one of us to reflect on the topic: Faithfulness. Faithfulness to God, means living the Covenantal relationship with God, being in touch with Him all the time or being aware of His presence all the time, wherever ...read more

    We live in the world of Covid-19. We are laden with many yokes throughout the day and night and throughout our life with one or the other, again and again.

    Reflection Rest for your Soul We live in the world of Covid-19. We live in the world of digital pandemic. We live in the world of economic crisis.

    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. Glen Scrivener says that a few years ago he ...read more

     | 9,961 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.

    No Cross, No Crown (Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time) Jeremiah 20:7-9, Romans 12:1-2, Matthew 16: 21-27. Reflection Dear sisters and brothers, Let us read the Word of God for this Sunday.

    Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- Salt

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 28, 2022
     | 1,475 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

    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
     | 1,565 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

    Fourteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time: Three Kinds Of Yokes

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 13, 2023
     | 2,063 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

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024
     | 612 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

    Within seconds, Elisha decides to leave all of his wealth and family to follow this radical prophet. Elisha went from the CEO of Elisha Farms to being Elijah’s apprentice. He went from inheriting a fortune to making copies and getting coffee for the prophet

    Trusting God in really challenging times in your personal life is really difficult to do. When marriages break up, finances fail, and good friends desert you, God’s seeming absence is really difficult to bear.

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025
     | 92 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

    Twenty-Second Sunday In Ordinary, Year C: Humility

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 29, 2025
     | 89 views

    The crucified and resurrected body of Jesus thus represents the ultimate paradox’ and provides the necessity for disability. Jesus became so completely identified in his life and teaching with the lowest place, not only in the Eucharist by being disguised as the poor.

    Imagine this situation, if you will: a husband comes home from work on a Friday afternoon, as he drives into the driveway, he sees that there is a rented tent in the back yard. Under the tent are tables and chairs for about forty people. A bandstand and dance floor are assembled in one corner of ...read more

    Holiness Vs A Form Of Godliness

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 17, 2024
     | 4,807 views

    The word Holy comes from the Hebrew word Kodesh and the Greek word Hagios and these words literally translate as to set apart or separated from the common or ordinary and the opposite of that would be not set apart from, common, and ordinary.

    Holiness vs A form of Godliness By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRELUDE: - The English way of defining words will often cause an obscure or circular definition which literally means a complicated systems to explain something which cause confusion and we so many times will draw the wrong ...read more

    Your Life As Bread Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 492 views

    Our ordinary lives, like bread, can be blessed, broken, and given by Jesus to serve a greater purpose. We are called to see our lives as more than just ordinary, but as a means to serve and bless others.

    Ever thought about how bread is like, everywhere? Seriously, think about it. In France, they've got baguettes and croissants. In Mexico, they've got tortillas. In India, they've got naan. And here in the US, we've got good old sliced white bread. Bread is like the most ordinary thing ever, right? ...read more
