You Can Do Greater Things!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, How many miracles did Philip and Thomas see in their three years with Jesus Christ. Countless, I imagine.

A Wise Person Knows He Doesn’t See Everything
Dear Brothers and Sisters, This gospel and the ones we have been hearing in Lent are gospels that were used centuries ago to prepare people for baptism. Baptism in the early Church was called Enlightenment. The spreading of mud on the blind man’s eyes was his anointing. When anointed by Christ one can really see. …

What Do You Thirst For?
Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the first reading the people of Israel are grumbling against Moses for a lack of water. Why did you bring us out to this desert so that we could die with our children and our animals? How is that possible? It is wonderful how the LORD lowers himself and gives…
