     | 2,389 views

    A child, and especially the child Jesus, is above everything a sign of hope.

    Monday of 4th week of Easter In Palestine, sheep have been for dozens of generations the basis of animal husbandry. Sheep produce milk and wool–they are not used for meat.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,531 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

  • Jesus, Priest And King Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 16, 2021
     | 1,852 views

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 2021 “Son though [Jesus] was, he learned obedience from what He suffered, and when He was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him.” That word, “perfect,” really confused me when I was a kid.

     | 197 views

    Remember that the letter to the Hebrews tells us that Jesus Himself was made perfect through suffering. If we, too, want to share in His glory, we must also be prepared to suffer, perhaps a lot. And loving can involve suffering too, can't it?

    Fifth Sunday of Easter 2025 Pope St. John Paul II looked at Our Lord Jesus as the fulfillment of what we might call “human potential.” He was and is the man that Adam was created to become.
