Reflections

In this academic year, St. John’s University, where I minister, celebrates its 150th anniversary. 

Have you considered how many of the stories in our NT can be read as half-stories?  We might just stop in the middle! 

Paul’s guidance confronts me.  I desire to heed his advice, but I feel the challenge and see the obstacles.  Like much of Paul’s advice, no easy response presents itself.

Our Gospel story emphasizes the power of love.  Within the Scriptures, the passages that speak of God’s love are numerous, as are those that celebrate human love.
