    This is the narrative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was such a radical event in human history that it turned the world upside down.

And today we will look at the relevance of this baby Jesus who as a man so radically changed the world. The reading today demonstrates this and is found in Luke ...read more

    When the disciples approach Jesus about spots in his Kingdom, he turns things upside down

    A friend of mine this week said something that has resonated with me. She said that in her family, she was the designated worrier. Now, I admit, she has much in her life to be worried about, but that is her story. Our stories are different, but I can’t help but wonder if we have a designated ...read more

    Saturday of the 30th week in course 2023 Our first reading begins with a question about whether, “then,” God has rejected His people, the Jews of St. Paul’s day.
