In this week’s Gospel, we listen to the story of Jesus’ healing of the man who was deaf.
In this Gospel passage, Mark and his community of faith are witnessing that Jesus is the one who will fulfill all our dreams for healing, wholeness, and peace.
All Christian life is planted in faith, hope, and love–whether it be that of the first century Colossians or believers of today.
The seasons contain life, death, and transformation. Crisp, cold air rushes; limbs begin to bud; Flowers bloom; leaves wave in the summer breeze; cold air returns once again. God sets all in motion.
Christians should be awake and attentive–alert in hope, confident in the conviction that God wants us to be saved and be with him.
Saint Paul says that when Christ comes again, he will bring with him the faithful who have already died. Then we the living will be assumed into the glory of the Lord.
The children in our lives have much to teach us about the ways of God. How can you change your interactions with them to better reflect their dignity and contributions?
The practice of charity belongs in the life of every believer. It is to be a tranquil practice, calmly exercised–a practice that fits in quietly with their ordinary work and responsibility.
Transformation is always a process of letting go, living in the confusing, shadowy space for a while, and eventually being spit up on a new and unexpected shore.
St. Monica (332-387) wasn’t embarrassed about the way she evangelized to her son—although Augustine certainly was from time to time!
