Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
C.S. Lewis says that any good we do comes from the Christ life inside us. God loves us not for the good we do but that he makes us good through the love he has for us. ~ Fr. Matt
Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Our encounters wit Go can be narrow and limited. The people of the day had high expectations of their Messiah He was to be strong and powerful. When Jesus mentions suffering the image of the savior had become deflated. The savior didn’t come to squash evil but to take in in and transform it. What are our expectations of Christ? ~ Fr. Matt
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
The gospels are faith reflections not biographies or history. Please note concerned friends brought the hearing and speech impaired man to Jesus. The Master had an intimate encounter with him. We are meant to experience that same healing touch with Jesus as we call on him in our need. ~ Fr. Matt
Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Life is governed by laws and traditions. Laws maintain order. However when frozen in time laws stifle change, inclusion and creativity. Take note of nature. Animals shed their fur and birds molt in order to receive new fur and feathers. May we allow the transformative spirit of God to satisfy the needs of our world. ~ Fr. Matt
