Sunday's Readings
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.

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.”
Being a Disciple (Epiphany 5, Year C)
A disciple needs to be willing, humble, and dedicated. St. Peter demonstrates all three elements in the story of Jesus’ calling of the first disciples.
The Lord Will Purify (The Presentation of Our Lord, Year C)
Jesus was brought into the Temple and the prophets witnessed to his identity as God’s Messiah, the Promised One sent to the Temple for the salvation of his people.

To reacquaint ourselves with the ABCs of Christian ministry, we can turn to St. Luke’s brief description of Jesus’ return to his hometown synagogue in Nazareth.
Jesus Is Lord (Epiphany 2, Year C)
Jesus had stone jars filled, and then he changed the water into fine wine. This is a miracle of transformation.
