Please Don't Be Seated

On a tour of a palace in Austria, weary from jet lag and endless walking, I longed to sit down in any chair I could find. But every chair in the palace was obviously a precious antique, richly embroidered and exquisitely upholstered. The very ornateness of the furniture seemed to forbid me to be sea...

Day 36 –the Parable of the Servants in the Vineyard

This is always one of the hardest parables for me. Jesus tells the parable of the workers hired to work in a vineyard. Some are hired early in the morning, others at noon; some others with only three hours left and some are even hired in the last hour of the day. Yet those who work only 1 hour ge...

Think You Can't Be Used By God? Think Again

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the early apostles. They all were regular, average, and imperfect people commissioned to bring the good news. They were a lot like you and I. They had day jobs, families, and one day, Jesus threw a wrench in their plans and asked them to follow Him and make disc... (www.catholic365.com)

Faith and Reason

Many saints have searched for an understanding of God, His creation, and His existence for ever, before the world as we know it ever existed.

Day 35 – A Word on Works

Today we see Jesus asked directly, “What GOOD DEED must I DO, to have eternal life?” Jesus does NOT answer, “Don’t worry, you are saved by faith alone.” Jesus says you must keep the commandments and when you have done that you must do more. Thus, Jesus identifies salvation as a process. A process... (www.catholic365.com)

Ignorance Is Not Bliss

A priggish little old lady inquiring about a European tour was told by the travel agent that one particular tour included the famous Oberammergau Passion Play. Misconstruing the word "passion" she indignantly exclaimed, "I'm tired of all this sex stuff; and now it's even featured as a travel highlig... (www.catholic365.com)

God is not one who is far away, nor is he eager to punish us for our failures. No, He is a Father……..

As Jesus prepared to leave his disciples and return to the Father, He wrapped up his teachings. He gave his final lecture. Jesus removed the figures of speech and summarized his key point one last time before leaving earth. I see this Gospel as John’s notes from Jesus’s final lecture – Jesus tell...
