A Desert Place

Mark 6:30-34

After the apostles return from their mission, Jesus has them go out to a deserted place to rest. Those plans don’t work out, but the message is clear that like the Sabbath command to rest,

Live off the Grace of God

Am 7:12-15

Jesus sends his disciples out on mission with nothing but a walking stick and one pair of sandals and not even a change of clothing.

Mark 6:1-6

What is most close to us is often what we most take for granted or even dismiss. Jesus is not accepted in his hometown because they think they know who he is. 

More Storms of Life

Mark 5:21-43 More Storms of Life

The theme this Sunday is healing found in our Gospel as well as within our Sunday liturgy with the offering of the Sacrament of Healing or anointing.

Mark 4:35-41 The Storms of Discipleship

They say into every life must come a storm or two. Maybe for some of us we feel like we’re living in a constant storm. Our Gospel story this Sunday is about being caught in a storm that is life threatening.

God’s Presence

Mark 4:26-34

Seeing God’s presence and action in this world is always a challenge. God is always mystery, always beyond our understanding, yet, seeing His living presence, the Holy Spirit is vital and foundational to our lives.

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

Mark 3:2-35

Some really harsh sounding words are spoken by Jesus this Sunday, ‘blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgiveable sin.’ This begs the question, when does this happen.

Mark 14:12-16, 22-26

There’s much mystery in this Sunday’s Gospel. Jesus tells His disciples that for the Passover they are to meet a man carrying a jar of water and they are to follow Him.

Mystery of the Trinity

Matthew 28:16-20

This weekend we celebrate the mystery of the Trinity. A Triune God, three yet one, can never be grasped by our puny human minds. It will always be mystery.

A New Earth

John 20:19-23

Our destiny is heaven, but our job here and now is to bring a bit of heaven to earth.

This is Pentecost Sunday and we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Ascension is Our Destiny

Mark 16:15-20

We celebrate the Ascension of Jesus this Sunday. In Jesus’ ascension to heaven, the revelation of God’s plan for creation and for us is complete. Jesus,

Divine Love

John 15:9-17

Love has always carried many levels of meaning. In Greek, there are actually four words for love. Jesus again encourages us this week to remain in His love.
