Peace and Reconciliation at All Costs
Christ is our peace. He breaks down, through his flesh, the wall of hatred that separates us from one another. Justice and peace are what the commandment, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” seeks. It forbids vengeance like that of Lamech, who boasts, “I...
Zeal that Is Unflagging, Consuming and Consummating

Worship of God in Spirit and Truth
Only through Christ can we give to the Father the pleasing worship in Spirit and truth. And we come to the one who alone suffices only through Jesus. In Jerusalem, magi from the east ask a question. They want to know where the newborn king of the Jews is and to...
Awesome and Alluring Blessing
Jesus is our only Savior, and he saves in an awesome and alluring way. He will bless us when as priests through our baptism, we invoke his name upon one another. There is no other name by which salvation comes to us but the name of Jesus. And since he is our all...
