Rejection of Jesus by His Very Own People
by Ross Dizon | Jan 29, 2019 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the great prophet that God has raised up from among us. Rejection of him on our part will leave us not knowing the truth that will free us. Jesus wins approval and admiration at the synagogue in Nazareth. But suddenly, he becomes an object of rejection....

by Ross Dizon | Dec 30, 2018 | Formation, Reflections
As his name so indicates, Jesus is Savior. And his salvation is the fulfillment of the blessings that the merciful God showers on us. Without doubt, it is the Lord who makes the Church grow (Acts 2,47; 1 Cor 3, 7). And those who plant like St. Paul, and water like...
Home to Us and Home to Jesus Christ Also
by Ross Dizon | Dec 27, 2018 | Formation, Reflections
The Word becomes flesh and makes his dwelling among us. He wants our home to be his also, though we are slow to understand and accept him. Mary and Joseph cannot find Jesus. He is not in the caravan. They do not see him among the relatives and acquaintances...
