Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving season, we are reminded when Jesus tells us to help the least of our brothers. “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors… Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind”. […]

Our talents

The Gospel tells us not to squander our talents. Faithful use of one’s gifts will lead to participation in the fullness of the kingdom of heaven, lazy inactivity to exclusion from it. Mt 25:14 Please join one of our many ministries to contribute your talents as well.

Your treasures

This week’s readings have us look at the real value of treasures. Please join one of our many ministries to contribute your talents as well. Jesus observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a […]

Awake

In this week’s Gospel we are reminded to keep the light of our faith lit through a joyful and intimate relationship with Jesus and to share His love with others. “Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Mt 25:1-13

All Souls

Throughout November as we remember the Faithful Departed, we learn in this week’s Gospel of the eternal life that awaits us. Jn 6:37-40 “For this is the will of my Father,that everyone who sees the Son and believes in himmay have eternal life,and I shall raise him on the last day.”

The greatest love

In this week’s Reading we are reminded of the love Jesus wants us to share: Mt 22:34-40“You shall love the Lord, your God,with all your heart,with all your soul,and with all your mind.This is the greatest and the first commandment.”

Our wealth

In the Gospel we are reminded that wealth doesn’t come from our possessions, but how we can love and serve God. “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” Mt 22:15-21

The few

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us “Many are invited, but few are chosen.” Mt 22:1-14 Like the king who is adamant about filling the wedding hall even when invited guests don’t arrive, God persistently invites us to the royal banquet in the “kingdom of heaven.” But the gracious invitation requires our positive and definite […]

Yes

In this week’s Gospel we are asked to look deep in our hearts to see how we can say yes to Jesus. Dear Lord make us cornerstones, never dislodged, not by rejection, nor suspicion, contempt,or even death.Let your vines sprout upon us.Let us nurture your exquisite wine.

Change

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells of two sons who had a change of heart. The first refused to work in the fields, but later decided to go. The second said he would help but never showed up. Like it was in Jesus’s time, the story is a reminder that it’s not enough to simply […]
