Calm in the Middle of the Storm
By trusting in the Lord Jesus we can stay calm even when evil seems to triumph.
Sow with Humility, Trust and Courage
Jesus is, in person, what it means to sow is to harvest and the seed that turns into a tree with large branches, so...
Brother Especially to the Outcasts
Shepherd and King, Jesus leads us and saves us. He is a brother to all, especially to those who are poor. He wants us to be brothers and sisters to all as he is. Our Leader and Savior is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters. This, of course, means that he is...
Look ahead to the Lord’s Joy and Taste It
Jesus will come back in glory to take to heaven those who are his own. They love like him as they look ahead to his coming. They thus get a taste of heaven’s joy. We have to look ahead to our Savior Jesus Christ’s coming back in glory. The liturgy we hold today...
Fire up Our Whole Selves with Love
Jesus makes known by words and deeds that we cannot love God without loving our neighbor. We Christians seek to fire up ourselves with love. The Church asks us today to keep watch. For we do not know the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come back. And to keep...
Slaves in the Same Way as Jesus
Jesus takes the form a slave and becomes like us. We who seek to follow him are to become lowly slaves in the same way that he is. For us who try to be and live as Jesus, to be first means to be slaves (Mk 10, 43-45). And today’s gospel teaches the same lesson. ...
Sweat in Seeking the Other’s Good
Jesus shows us how to love in truth God and our neighbor. Out of love for them, he has to sweat blood and give himself wholly. To strive and to sweat. This is what love for God asks of us who are of the Vincentian Family (SV.EN XI:32). That is to say, it is not...
Reflect the Creator and Owner of All
Jesus is the image of the God whom no one has ever seen. Hence, he cannot but reflect God who is merciful, kind, and faithful. No doubt, we Christians want to reflect Jesus. And we believe, of course, that to reflect him means to reflect also the very God whose...
Clothe Ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ
Today’s parable makes clear that those who accept God’s call to his kingdom must clothe themselves appropriately.
Dare the Wise and Learned to Be Truthful
Jesus is the sign of contradiction. He brings to light what we harbor in our hearts. He cannot but dare us to be truthful. Jesus does not fail to dare the wise and the learned to choose the good that they learn and receive. That is to say, he asks them to act as...
Doubt the Quick “Yes” that We Say
Jesus is the firstborn from among those who do what is true and come to the light, so that there is no doubt that their works are just. No doubt, we have to love in deed and truth. The second son in the parable says “yes,” but he does not do what the father asks. No...
