Contemporary society of Jesus’ day wanted a messiah to throw off the Roman yoke and restore the sovereign nation of Israel. In reality Jesus brings a message of liberation and a ministry of healing leading us home to the Father.  ~ Fr. Matt

During the advent season we are called to listen  and respond to John the Baptizer’s cry of “Reform your lives, the kingdom of God is near.”    ~ Fr. Matt

Do you believe in Jesus? During the next few weeks the scriptures will confront us with the abiding presence of Christ in the world, the church, the Word, and the Living Bread. How will this revolutionize our lives this year?     ~ Fr. Matt

The taunts and mockery of the people ultimately give the theological interpretation of the cross namely SALVATION. “If you are king of the Jews save yourself, He saved others let him save himself, the criminal said save us.”  Let us give thanks to God for saving us.   ~ Fr. Matt
