Maybe because the Olympics are being played, I was struck by one line from the Epistle to the Hebrews: “persevere in running the race that lies before us.” We all know, “up close and personal” as the TV puts it, that life can feel like a race sometimes. We don’t call contemporary existence the “rat… Read More »

“Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” What is it about children that makes them fit for the Kingdom of Heaven? I don’t believe the cliched image of “the innocence of children” applies. As anyone who has every hung around a… Read More »

Politicians all say they are going to create jobs and work for peace and protect the environment. How specifically they plan to do that is not always clear. It seems the Pharisees were trying to nail Jesus to a specific program when they confronted him about marriage law. All this talk about love is great,… Read More »

God can create the universe. God can save the world. God can forgive sins. We, on the other hand, cannot create the universe or save the world. However, we can forgive. In fact, according to Jesus we must forgive over and over and over again. Forgiveness is hard. We are reluctant to forgive because it… Read More »

My guess is that many of the people at St. James wonder what was God thinking when our beloved, old Church was torn down. Perhaps the answer can be found in the words of Jesus. “Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if… Read More »

“Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.” How can we heed these words of Jesus? How can we “become like children?” When I think of how children are two things strike me. First, children receive gifts easily. They don’t feel guilty, they… Read More »

The prophet Ezekiel wrote at a critical time in the history of the Chosen People. Their identity had been woven into “the promised land.” Abraham was called into the promised land from Ur of the Chaldees, Moses led the people out of slavery into the promised land, Joshua and the judges wrested the promised land… Read More »

A line from the epistle to the Hebrews caught my attention: faith is evidence of things not seen. When you see a police procedural on TV, evidence consists of something tangible, something you can put on display — “peoples’ exhibit marked A.” How can “things not seen” produce evidence? I have been fascinated by the… Read More »

We’ve all had the experience of someone reporting on an event differently than you remember. Something similar can occur in comparing the way Matthew, Mark and Luke report the events of Jesus’ life. They each saw things from their own point of view. In this way the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in each evangelist… Read More »

One of the twelve minor prophets in the Bible is Nahum. His Book is only used once in the lectionary of readings for the liturgy. He wrote sometime around the time of the fall of the Assyrian empire in 612 B.C. The prophecy asserts that Assyria got what he deserved. It was only right that… Read More »
