In the play, My Fair Lady, Freddy is wooing Eliza when she bursts into song (it is a Broadway musical, after all), “Don’t talk of Spring, don’t talk of Fall, don’t talk at all. Show me.” Elizae knows that talk is cheap, she wants to see evidence of his love. The apostle Philip says something… Read More »

We live in a time of social, political, economic and religious transition. The late Pope Francis used to say this is not an era of change but a change of eras. Such transitions cause people to become uneasy and upset. We look for facile solutions to complex problems. The pull of nostalgia, of the “good… Read More »

The founder of my religious congregation, Fr. Thomas Judge, CM, said that “every Catholic is called to be an apostle,” not by going off into strange lands and exotic places but “in the providence of everyday life.” We see the truth of that in St. Joseph, whose daily providence was working with  his hands. Yet… Read More »

It is easy to recognize that St. John does not construct his gospel in the same way as the other evangelists. One way of looking at the structure is to see it as instruction on living the life of an Easter people. In chapter one Jesus calls the first disciples. In chapter two he shows… Read More »

The community of believers was of one heart and mind … they had everything in common… There was no needy person among them. St. Luke gives an idealized picture of the first generation of Christians. Reading between the lines of the Acts of the Apostles you can see that things did not operate quite as… Read More »

Thomas gets a bum rap. Oooh, Doubting Thomas, boo, hiss: but doubt is not a bad thing. If you think about it the opposite of belief is not doubt but certainty. Two plus two equals four. I don’t have to believe it because I am certain of it. However, most of life requires belief, faith,… Read More »

The way the Bible is set up causes us to miss some of the intent of St. Luke in writing a two volume work — the gospel that bears his name and the Acts of the Apostles. The Evangelist intended in doing so to highlight that the ministry of Jesus and the  life of the… Read More »

The preeminent Catholic theologian of the modern era was a German Jesuit named Karl Rahner. His thought can be  difficult to parse at times but in the end he bases everything on the experience of prayer that even the unlearned share. He wrote : “The Christians of the future will be a mystics, those who… Read More »

The days had been intense for the disciples of Jesus. The Last Supper, his arrest and trial, his torture and execution, his death and burial, and finally the appearance of the Risen Lord. You can easily imagine that the disciples were looking for things to calm down, to return to normal. So they went home… Read More »
