Sunday Scripture

I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW | Share the love and mercy of Jesus with others

Already in the Book of Genesis we are introduced to the priesthood of Melchizedek, with his gifts of bread and wine. Bread and wine became part of covenant celebrations in the Old Testament. The energies they produce in the human body are symbolic of the energies that are produced by a covenant mutually agreed to. When two people agree to a covenant relationship, they are then free to use their energies for things other than attacking each other. In short, they are at peace with one another.

I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW | The Holy Spirit will help us embrace the truth

Today as we celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Trinity, I am reminded of the time during my seminary formation when my classmates and I were assigned to teach catechism in the grade school one afternoon each week. I was teaching second-graders.

I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW | Let the Holy Spirit guide you through Scripture

Pentecost belongs to sinners only! Pentecost is neither for the angels nor for the saints. They do not need it; we sinners do. Every day every sinner is confronted with an inner rebellion. There are no exceptions! We all have a choice to follow our human spirit, the Evil Spirit or the Holy Spirit; all too often we follow the human spirit and sometimes the Evil Spirit.

I Thought You Should Know | Pray for the power to be obedient to God's will

I Thought You Should Know | Embrace and live the word of God

In today's Gospel, Jesus pours out His heart to the Apostles. To understand the power and the depth of these words, we need to put them into the whole context of the salvation mystery.
