by Ross Dizon | Jun 13, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, seeks the good of the sheep. He is not like those who steal, slaughter and destroy as they...

by Ross Dizon | Jun 6, 2023 | Formation, Reflections

Savor the Love that God Has for Us
by Ross Dizon | May 30, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus shows the depth of God’s love to the end. To savor such love is to know the One who creates us and is with us...
Nations, All Nations, Will Worship the Lord
by Ross Dizon | Jan 2, 2021 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the light of the nations. That is why to follow him means to welcome Gentiles from all races, tongues, peoples and nations. Ps 149, 6 asks that praise be on the lips of the faithful. And swords in their hands to take revenge on the nations. Is it due to...
Faces of God, of Jesus, of Those in Need
by Ross Dizon | Dec 29, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus embodies the blessing that God pours out on us through the Holy Spirit. His face shines on us, so that our faces may mirror his. The faces of Mary and Joseph gleam since on them shines the face of Jesus. He is the great eternal high priest (Heb 2, 17; 4, 14;...
Amazing and Challenging Good News
by Ross Dizon | Dec 26, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
In an amazing way, God becomes the son of the human family, so that we may belong to the family of God. The parents find amazing what they hear about their baby boy. It is as though an angel never brought them the amazing Good News about their son. But that is how the...
Spread the Unbelievable Good News
by Ross Dizon | Dec 22, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
A Savior has been born for us, who is Christ and Lord. This is the Good News of great joy that the angel brings. It must spread, for it is for all the people. The decree that there be a census cannot but spread. And that is why those of the house and family of king...
Abode of Prayer and Hope for All
by Ross Dizon | Dec 15, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus makes his abode among us. He is the house of prayer and hope for all peoples. And he fulfills God’s promise to David. David plans to build a house that will be the Lord’s abode. The Lord answers and reminds him of the great things that he has done for him....
Disappointment Due to Our Biases
by Ross Dizon | Dec 8, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the Christ. To know him so makes us acknowledge that we are not worthy of him and spares us, too, of all disappointment. Those who come from Jerusalem do not receive John’s baptism; they are there to grill him and judge him. The priests and the Levites...
Beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ
by Ross Dizon | Dec 1, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the beginning and the end, and the source and the summit of the Good News. That is why we point to him by our words and deeds. Mark presents the beginning of the Good News. But right away he speaks of Isaiah and John. The last fulfills the prophecy about a...
Watch, Stay Awake, for Jesus Is Coming
by Ross Dizon | Nov 24, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is coming, but we do not know when. So, we have to watch. It seems odd that we are to look to the end at the beginning of the liturgical year. For we are urged to watch and wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will come, yes, but we do not know...
Judge the Blessed and the Accursed
by Ross Dizon | Nov 17, 2020 | Formation, Reflections
Christ the King is not one to judge by the way we look. And on the last day, his teachings, by words and deeds, will be our judge. The Church has been urging us, for two Sundays now, to watch and be ready for the coming of Jesus in glory. And today the teaching is...
