    We learn from ten-year old Samuel the importance of being attentive and obedient to God’s call, for we never know where it might lead

    This morning’s scripture passage is one of my favorites, as it tells the story of Samuel’s call into the ministry, but when we consider the overall context surrounding this story of Samuel’s calling, we gain a much richer meaning. This is true for any biblical passage. The meaning and way in which ...read more

     | 16,169 views

    Sodom was guilty of six sins and the first on the list was "pride". What is it about pride that makes God so angry and how can we avoid that sin?

    OPEN: A man told of driving West Texas highway. There were no cars in sight and he was going about 70 mph when suddenly, as he went over a crest in the road, he could see up ahead a huge hawk feeding on a rabbit who’d been killed by a passing vehicle.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,352 views

    While traveling to Jerusalem, a Samaritan village refuses to welcome Jesus and his disciples. Instead of judgment, Jesus demonstrates to his followers overwhelming compassion and reminds us of how he moves in our lives.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Love Costs” INTRODUCTION The stories that we have of Jesus give us snapshots of Jesus, his life and his ministry. Snapshots are powerful communicators. They can, however, limit the information they convey, or massage it. We only see the story that is contained within the frame ...read more

    The Continuing Search For Satisfaction

    Contributed by Philip Gill on Jul 14, 2007
     | 3,087 views

    The satisfaction found in God is no simple "self satisfaction", as Isaiah warns his people, but that God offers purpose, meaning and a reason to live!

    The prophet Isaiah has discovered something crucial in his relationship with God. God calls us toward that which offers real satisfaction. Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do ...read more

    People are seeking. Many think they must abandon the past to move forward. Others think they must idol worship the past to have honor for the future. The truth is neither. Mary pondered and treasured the things concerning Jesus. Maybe we can learn a

     | 3,522 views

    The reform of our liturgy is not a matter of going back to pre-Vatican II forms, but of becoming more faithful to true worship as it has developed over 2000 years

    Monday of 23rd Week in Course The Spirit of the Liturgy Sept 6 2010 The stories in chapter 6 of Luke are familiar enough, but we need to understand why the Pharisees were wrong–and not just incorrect, but truly evil.

    At the Last Judgement, all of us will need to admit to our shortcomings. No whispered secrets, no dark meetings.

    Friday of the 28th Week Integral 2025 One thing we can say about the Gospel writers’ style: they were working on expensive media like parchment or papyrus, so they did not waste words. Today Luke gives us what looks like a throw-away line at first: “So many people were crowding together that they ...read more
