    God took those pottery shards and put together, in the end, a beautiful mosaic, our Gospel tells us, of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

    December 17 of the 3rd Week in Advent 2020 Today’s Gospel makes no sense unless we know something about the history of God’s relationship with the chosen people, Israel. Genealogies in Scripture always mean more than we modern Americans understand. They always point in some way to the Lord, and ...read more

    All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.

    1.Flannery O’Connor noted that “All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful, “she wrote in 1958. (Adding, “Priests resist it as well as others.”) She means that grace intervenes in the sufferings of the ordinary -- ignorant, complacent people whose ...read more

    “We should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s a demand .

    Monday of Epiphany Week 2020 It’s a good idea to read St. John’s words in this first letter perhaps every week of our lives, because in it we find the key to happiness and fulfillment. John says “we receive from [God] whatever we ask.” Hmm, that’s interesting. And we recall that Jesus Himself said ...read more

    There seemed to be a lot more drama surrounding the death of Jesus – earthquakes, curtains being torn at the Temple, darkness covered the earth. The resurrection was done quietly without any witnesses to the actual moment of resurrection.

    Easter 2021 The Road to Emmaus There seemed to be a lot more drama surrounding the death of Jesus – earthquakes, curtains being torn at the Temple, darkness covered the earth.

    Those are the healing waters that can always save those who are soaked with them, precisely because this sacrament is the visible sign of the power of Christ, who is the real minister of every baptism.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Lent 2020 Water I always recommend to those who can make pilgrimage that they take a week or more with a Christian guide in the Holy Land–Israel and Jordan–so that they can understand the people and places we read about in the Sacred Scriptures.

    Jesus calls us to be servant rather than elevating themselves. What exactly should we do if we do want to be great?

    IS IT WRONG TO WANT TO BE "GREAT"? Jesus doesn’t say “don’t be great” but instead tells them how to be great. - Luke 22:24-27. - Matthew 5:19; Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43. - It could have been when the disciples argued over being great that Jesus replied, “No. You will never be great. ...read more

    As the church was closed, we had to go to printed meditations, so this is a much shorter version of what was originally planned.

    Matthew 16:13-20 13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you ...read more

    Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

    What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits.

    Finders keepers, loser’s weepers. From dictionary.com. "A person who finds something can keep it, and the loser has no right to it. This proverb is of dubious ethical merit."

    This is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible. Most of us have heard the story from Sunday school. We have sung songs about Zacchaeus. So, what “fresh” lesson can be told concerning these verses. I. Jesus Always does the Finding 1. Most of us have heard and or used the saying, “Finders ...read more
