Sunday's Readings
Sons Beget Sons (Pentecost 3, Year C)
When we are born again, we are born into the kingdom of God as firstborn “sons” of God; therefore, we are full heirs of his kingdom.
Being Human (Pentecost 2, Year C)
God names evil and establishes his power over it. Demons are named and have no choice but to do Jesus’ bidding.
Another Dimension (Trinity Sunday, Year C)
We need a shift from the physical sphere to the realm of relationships if we hope to approximate the concept of the Trinity.
Transformation (Pentecost, Year C)
Transformation is the power to utterly change an object, situation, or person. It is the power that can make the weak strong, the poor rich, and the dead alive.
Sacramental Unity (Easter 7, Year C)
Worshiping alone is not an option if we are to be the Church. We are the body of Christ, individual members united under Christ as our head.
Not Alone (Easter 6, Year C)
God will be directly accessible to all people who enter the New Jerusalem through the cleansing blood of the Lamb.
Relationship (Easter 5, Year C)
Jesus made the perfect relationship between the incarnate Son and the Father known and commanded them to have the equivalent relationship with one another and the world.
Hearing Is Believing (Easter 4, Year C)
There is an element of exclusivity inherent in dedication. To be dedicated is to be focused—to have one purpose to the exclusion of all other functions.
‘Follow Me’ (Easter 3, Year C)
Jesus was telling St. Peter that he was to give up his identity as a fisherman and do the work he had seen Jesus doing.
Beyond a Doubt (Easter 2, Year C)
Jesus speaks peace, appears bodily, breathes out the Spirit, and articulates the mission for God’s people.
Made Alive! (Easter Day, Year C)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ tells us that death in this life is not the last word.
King of the Jews and More (Palm Sunday, Year C)
Jesus has experienced being joyfully received as the deliverer of Israel and being hatefully rejected as a blasphemer and rebel.
Astonishing Devotion (Lent 5, Year C)
Mary’s devotion to Jesus knows no bounds. She takes what has to be her greatest treasure, an exquisitely expensive bottle of liquid perfume, and pours it on Jesus’ feet.
Repent and Be Reconciled (Lent 4, Year C)
The only one in the parable of the Prodigal Son who is not motivated by self-interest is the father.
Recasting Our Questions (Lent 3, Year C)
On the danger of presumption, we see the Old Testament example of Israel—even those who followed the Lord in the wilderness during the Exodus from Egypt.
Fear Not Opposition (Lent 2, Year C)
God affirms his promise by assuring Abram that he will have a son, and through that son a multitude of descendants.
Undone! (Lent 1, Year C)
Whether crafting a piece of furniture, working out a mathematical calculation, or making a point in a discussion, it is a universal truth that haste makes waste.
Jesus Alone (Last Epiphany, Year C)
God is our salvation, and that God and our salvation are found only in Jesus. This is the essence of the Christian faith.
Another Love (Epiphany 7, Year C)
The love that Jesus commands us to express in our lives is truly supranatural. This love is beyond any feeling that comes to us naturally.
Coming to Christ (Epiphany 6, Year C)
Jesus is the King and where he is, the kingdom is also. His message was “Repent and believe, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
