Guilt and Hope that We All Share

by | March 15, 2022 | Formation, Reflections | 0 Comments

Jesus is the Good News of salvation.  He calls us who have sinned—and no one of us is free of guilt—to return to God.  So, there is hope for us.  In the face of evils, like war crimes, many wonder, “Where is God.”  As though the guilt were his.  Why does he allow...

by | March 8, 2022 | Formation, Reflections | 0 Comments

Christ is always before the Father in prayer.  And it is while he prays that the appearance of his face changes and his clothing turns dazzling white.  Prayers make for good changes. In a forum in which exchange of ideas took place, a comment spoke of prayers as...

Lure of Power, Wealth and Glory

by | March 1, 2022 | Formation, Reflections | 0 Comments

Jesus wears the crown of glory since he rejected the devil’s lure and suffered death.  The Crucified is model of true grit; we fix our gaze on him. The Holy Spirit who came down on Jesus in the Jordan now leads him to the desert.  There, the one who embodies the truth...

Goodness That Matters and Is Decisive

by | Feb 26, 2019 | ,

Jesus himself is the goodness that those who are truly good store up in their hearts and from which they draw good things. Jesus teaches us that what we keep inside us plays a decisive role.  If goodness is what we have inside us, then good words and good deeds...

Embrace of Love for All of God’s Children

by | Feb 19, 2019 | ,

Jesus is the firstfruits of the resurrection.  Those who love as he does, and embrace lovingly even the wicked and the thankless, live in the newness of life. Luke took liberty with Is 61, 1-2, the passage that Jesus read at the synagogue in Nazareth.  The Gospel...

Blissful and Woeful Far Beyond Belief

by | Feb 12, 2019 | ,

Jesus became poor to make us rich by his poverty.  He is the firstborn among many poor brothers and sisters who trust in God and, hence, are blissful. Jesus teaches that poor people are blessed, blissful.  And those, too, who are hungry, and those who are weeping. ...
