The Disabled Suffer With Christ

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022

Jesus suffered to give us an example of how to die unjustly, but He did not condone that murder.

The Just Society And Why Judas Was Judged Harshly

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022

Somehow it seems very strange to ask Judas about the virtue of justice.

Monday of Holy Week I don’t understand why people these days feel like they have to defend Judas from the accusations that he was a thief and a jerk. He was a thief and a jerk. Today’s Gospel shows him accusing Jesus of sinning against the virtue of justice, by allowing an expensive ointment to ...read more

Two weeks ago, everything changed in the gospel of John. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, in the full sight of a large group of Judeans. And when the Judeans saw this, "many" gave their allegiance to Jesus. In an instant, they moved from being stubborn, and hard-hearted, and ...read more

Breaking Our Flask

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more
