To Listen Helps You See God’s Love
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s gospel the people say of the Lord that he has done all things well. Can you say the same about your life? The people in the gospel who saw this miracle can surely say this is true. The deaf man could hardly speak. Because when a person is deaf, how…

Christ Is The Head Because He Loves
Dear Brothers and Sisters, We hear again in the psalm: taste and see the goodness of the Lord. We have heard this psalm for three Sundays in a row. It is a long psalm, but the antiphon has always been the same. Is the Lord trying to tell us something? We can experience this today…

To Eat The Bread Is To Be One With Jesus On The Cross
Dear Brothers and Sisters, There are breads that give life and there are breads that don’t. They don’t fill us nor give us life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, but they died; it did not give them life. It was a sign, a figure, that would prepare them for the true bread, as…

The Lord Is Always With Us
Dear Brothers and Sisters, On this Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we are reminded of the mission of the Church, which is to announce conversion.

Don’t Live Your Faith Like A Cat
Dear Brothers and Sisters, We have an enemy of our faith. Do you know what it is? It’s the ideal we have of Christianity. You think you need to reach a goal. St. Paul never speaks about a goal or the one he speaks about is very different from the one you have. Maybe your…
