This week we are reminded when Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for Passover, but lost track of him. After three days they found Jesus in a Temple. In reality, this describes our own Christian living. We look for Jesus when we, like him, seek to be in God’s presence; when we, like him, choose to […]

During this holy season of Advent we are all being called on to prepare ourselves to commemorate the first coming of Christ. If we do that each year; if we let the full meaning of Christmas enter into our innermost being, then each year of our lives will be sanctified and a big step will be taken […]

This week’s Gospel reminds us there is one true King. Jesus said, “My kingdom does not belong to this world.”So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world,to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to […]

This week’s Gospel reminds us to be prepared for the Son of Man. “And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the […]

In this week’s Reading we are reminded God considers the value of our deeds, even when the appearance is small. “A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in morethan all the […]

In this week’s Reading we are reminded of the love Jesus wants us to share: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,with all your soul, with all your mind,and with all your strength.This is the greatest and the first commandment.The second is like it:You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

In this week’s Gospel we learn of the importance of faith as Jesus cured a blind man’s vision.

Please join us at Mass as we […]

From this week’s Gospel Reading we are reminded to help others, just as Jesus came to serve. Jesus summoned them and said “…whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to […]

In the Gospel Jesus said to the rich man: “You are lacking in one thing. Go sell what you have and give to the poor and you will have riches in heaven; then come, follow me.” Each of us will have to ask for the gift of wisdom to know how to respond concretely to Jesus’ […]

The Gospel reminds us we can accept the kingdom of God like children, without hesitation. Mk 10:2-16 or 10:2-12 “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child […]

From this week’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us if anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. Mark 9:30-37 The greatest in the Church are those who make themselves servants of all, those who serve everyone, not those who have titles. Please join us at Mass as we celebrate […]

Jesus cures a deaf mute in this Sunday’s reading and arouses astonishment in the crowd. Mk 7:31-37 But would the fame of these miracles really reveal God’s love for the world and its peoples? Jesus thought not. In Mark, Jesus stopped the miracles and began a new phase of his mission turning toward Jerusalem and […]
