They Saw And They Came To Adore Him!

Dear Brothers and Sisters: These events from the second chapter of Matthew are a foretaste of the mission of Jesus to the gentiles, who are very attracted to the light.  To re-live the suffering of his people Jesus is sent into exile in Egypt as the Jews were for 400 years.  He also endures the…

Mary, Mother Of God

Brothers and sisters: When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. As proof that you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba,…

Jesus Advanced In Graciousness, Charm & Wisdom

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We were considering on Christmas why God is often silent and passive.  Why doesn’t he speak and act more?  Hopefully, we saw that the only thing that can bring us happiness is that he quietly be born in us these days.  He would not force this to happen.  He acts silently…

Only One Thing Brings Happiness: That He Be Born In Us Today!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We in western civilization have a very romantic and sentimental view of Christmas which brings many people to church who normally do not come, and that is a good thing.  Our manger makes the birth of Jesus Christ look like Aruba or southern Florida and the reality was far different.  A…

The Mother Of My Lord Comes To Me!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Christmas is almost here and I encourage you to spend some time in front of the manger now and during Christmas to contemplate what the Lord has done for us.  He could have come to save us as an adult but he became a defenseless child and was born in poverty…

His Kingship Is To Witness To The Truth

Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Solemnity of Christ the King marks the end of the liturgical year.  What strikes me this year is that Jesus said to Pilate about his kingship: “For this I came into the world, to testify to the truth (John 18: 37).”  He came to be a witness, to testify.  What…

He Will Make Of You A New Creation

Brothers and Sisters, The gospel of Mark (13: 24-32) can be scary this week since Jesus paints a breath taking view of his return to glory as Lord of the Universe.   But don’t be put off by this since the tribulation of the first verse is replaced by a creative gathering at the end.  The…

What We Keep For Ourselves We Lose

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Jesus Christ reminded us last week that Christian living can be summed up with two commandments: love of God above all things and love of our neighbor as ourselves.  We cannot do this consistently without the help of the Holy Spirit and hopefully you see how these two commandments are connected. …

Love Is A Triangle

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Bartimaeus last week was cured of his blindness because he did two things: he acknowledged his weakness, his need to be cured, and he strongly cried out his desire to be healed.  If you have a weakness or a trouble or addiction call out to Jesus Christ like he did; to…
