This is how!!! Love this song! Let’s go! https://youtu.be/tTeuW-1XduU One of my favorite images is St. Peter hearing the Lord say, “Come” and Peter stepping out of the boat. I even tried to paint what I imagined. Then I imagine me. Would I step out of the boat? I always say to myself, “Keep your eyes on Christ and you won’t sink!” I think this is my song! Jesus , I trust in you! I walk by faith, not by sight. And I take a step.
The blind man sits patiently waiting for someone to come and help him. Maybe people will give him food or coins so that he can take care of himself. But today everything is different. Jesus is walking by so the man calls out in desperation, “Jesus have pity on me!” Even when everyone tells him to be quiet he doesn’t give […]
The man in Sunday’s Gospel from Mark on 10/21/18 asks Jesus what more he needs to do. Hasn’t he done enough? He’s followed all the Commandments. He’s taken care of his parents. He’s a good person. What more does he need to do to get into heaven? Jesus surprises him with his answer. This man has not done enough. Give […]
In this week’s Sunday Scriptures, the Church gives us a few perspectives to think about. In the letter from St. James, he asks, “What good is it if someone has faith but does not have works?” Can we say go in peace and eat well to a person who has no food or shelter? Can we say, “Have a nice […]

John 6 is as controversial today as it was when Jesus walked the Earth. Did He mean it or didn’t He? Was the bread really just a metaphor (Jn 6:51-58)? In the verses that follow, Jesus assures us, as we grumble amongst ourselves, that He is quite serious. Spoiler alert: When Jesus asks the Twelve (Apostles) if they want to […]
Mark’s Gospel this week (the full Reading) is all about healing. Mark 5:21-43 Here are a few pointers you could get: 1) ask. Don’t be shy. Definitely a message in this Sunday’s Readings. What have you got to lose? Just ask. Jairus is sure that if he asks, Jesus will cure his daughter. He knows. How? 2) stay close enough […]
Just ask, get closer, have faith In the midst of the violent storm, Jesus sleeps in the boat and the disciples are afraid. The disciples ask Jesus, ‘Don’t you care?’ He calms the storm and says, ‘Why are you afraid?’ Mark 4:35-41 (Gospel Reading for Sunday, June 21, 2015) So how big is your faith? Can you trust that Jesus is with […]
LIFE It’s not just for the birds! Who likes change? We humans often look for comfort. We like to complete things and then rest in our Adirondack chair and survey the land – all we have accomplished. Ezekiel tells us God’s message in this Sunday’s Readings for June 14. God says he will tear off a shoot and plant it on […]
