Sometimes, I need to preach on a Psalm. This past Sunday, our liturgy offered Psalm 100 as our response to the first reading.
Reflections
A Vincentian View: Pentecost Season
We call the several weeks that follow the celebration of Christmas, the “Christmas Season.” Similarly, many weeks follow the solemnity of Easter, and we refer to this stretch as the “Easter Season.”
A Vincentian View: The Spirit and Mary
Our New Testament offers two particular contexts when the Holy Spirit filled the Blessed Mother. Of course, we can truly maintain that Mary always experienced this aspect of God’s presence, but two occurrences stand forth.
A Vincentian View: Joseph and Psalm 127 – Building and Sleeping
The idea of building a house attracts me when I think of Joseph.
A Vincentian View: Filled with Compassion
One can hardly imagine that Jesus could use the term “father” without some reflection on the one who had been his earthly father for most of his life, Joseph.
A Vincentian View: A Simple Man
I would love to have people describe me as “a simple man.”
A Vincentian View: Dwelling in the Lord’s House
How might Joseph have prayed and meditated on Psalm 27?
A Vincentian View: Joseph in the Eucharistic Prayers
An important maxim in Christian tradition affirms simply lex orandi, lex credendi that can be rendered “The law of praying is the law of believing.”
A Vincentian View: Wednesdays
Suppose that you served on the committee that debated the choice of the week to honor St. Joseph. What day would you pick?
A Vincentian View: Joseph 2.0
All of us have probably seen a representation of that statue that sits on the desk of Pope Francis—the sleeping Joseph.
A Vincentian View: The Sleeping Jesus
All of us have probably seen a representation of that statue that sits on the desk of Pope Francis—the sleeping Joseph.
A Vincentian View: Our Daily Bread
Remember the Exodus instructions to the people Israel in the desert? Each morning, they may collect only enough “manna” to feed them for the day (Exod 16:4-15).
