June 25, 2010 | | | |  | Spiritual Reflection for 12th Sunday in
Ordinary Time
June 27, 2010
When we follow Jesus we make a commitment to love all people.
In today's Gospel, Jesus and the dissciples begin the final journey to Jerusalem, where God's plan for salvation will be fulfilled. Their commitment to God's plan will be tested, as Jesus has warned them that he must endure suffering at the hands of his enemies.
James and John are ready to call down fire from heaven to destroy the Samaritan village that rejects Jesus. But Jesus rebukes them. ... more details | | | | |

We know Jesus is the Messiah, but what
does that mean
in our lives?
We admit that Jesus is the Christ of God, the Messiah who would bring salvation to the world. However, there are many different aspects of who Jesus is, and how he lived his life that may confuse us. There is the lowly and vulnerable Christ Child born in Bethlehem; and then there is the Christ... more details | | | | |
May 27, 2010 | | | | | | Sunday of The Most Holy Trinity, May 30, 2010
We celebrate and honour the Trinity – God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity – God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that God has one nature, yet at the same time is three distinct persons. The mystery of the Trinity is central to our faith, but it is only by God's self-revelation that we can come to know, in some small measure, who God is.
The Book of Genesis gives... more details | | | | |
May 21, 2010 | | | | | | Pentecost Sunday, May 23, 2010
Today we celebrate Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit gave a new sense of empowerment to the Church.
Today we commemorate the birth of the Church. It is Pentecost, the day, some two thousand years ago, when the Holy Spirit came to the Apostles and breathed energy and animation into their faith. It is the day when tongues of fire loosed the tongues of the disciples so they could clearly give voice to the Good News of salvation.
Today we celebrate the day when the Apostles accepted... more details | | | | |

Be at peace with the farewells you must make.
The early believers accepted Jesus' leaving through death, his reappearance in resurrection, his leaving through his ascension, and his continued presence in the Holy Spirit. Today's reading from Acts reveals a lack of peace in the community at Antioch concerning Gentile converts and adherence to Mosaic law. The Apostles made their case based on the guidance of the Holy Spirit and end their letter to the Gentiles with... more details | | | | |
April 23, 2010 | | | | | | Fourth Sunday of Easter April 25, 2010
The love of Christ knows no bounds, like that of a shepherd for his flock.
One of the most prominent images of Jesus is that of the Good Shepherd. This image of Jesus is based on the way he treated all people—he sought them out when they were lost in sin, he freed them from the power of evil, he healed them of their infirmities. Ultimately, the love of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, was so great that he gave his life for his... more details | | | | |
April 17, 2010 | | | | | | Reflection for Third Sunday of Easter April 18, 2010
Do you love me? (John 21:15)
Jesus' questioning of Peter in such a direct way was not intended to make Peter feel guilty. And neither was it an ego trip for the Lord. Jesus didn't need Peter's love to feel better about himself. He already knew – better than Peter himself – how much Peter loved him. Rather, Jesus wanted Peter to reach deep within himself and see how much love for... more details | | | | |

How Jesus must have enjoyed celebrating his final Passover with his disciples! For three years, he had been with them, enjoyed their company, taught them, even laughed with them. He knew their strengths and weaknesses, their quirks and idiosyncrasies-and he loved them. Jesus knew the time had come for him to give up his life, but he was still able to share a meal with these close... more details | | | | |

When God called Moses from the burning bush, he launched him on one of the longest, most significant journeys in history – and began by telling him: “Remove the sandals from your feet”(Exodus 3:5). Why would God say that?
The second half of the verse offers a reason: “The place where you stand is holy ground.” Imagine how fast Moses obeyed! In Egypt, where he grew up, people... more details | | | | |

Whenever we read passages like this, it's helpful to keep one truth in mind: Jesus always spoke from experience. So when he said that the poor, the hungry, the sorrowful, and the persecuted were blessed, he was not just presenting a fanciful or idealistic set of dreams. He was speaking out of experience about what it was like to have his life shaped by his Father... more details | | | | |

Addressing the fractious Corinthian church, Paul urged the believers to 'strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 12:31). He even told them how to get there: by practicing love. Not the overly romantic love that musicians sing about but divine love – love that moves mountains and changes hearts. It's the love Jesus poured out when he died on the cross. It's also... more details | | | | |

The Baptism of the Lord.
Baptism calls us to be fully immersed in the life and teachings of Christ.
The Baptism of Jesus signifies Jesus officially accepting the mission given to him by the Father. It also showed His full and complete submission to the will of his Father. When Jesus was fully and completely submerged in the waters of the Jordan, it represented what Jesus would have to give to win our salvation. Jesus would have to give everything he had -- his life upon... more details | | | | |

John prepared the way for Jesus.
Today's Gospel begins with a lot of people listening to John the Baptist. There are Roman soldiers who were part of an occupying army known for its strong-armed tactics. There are tax collectors who have grown wealthy by overcharging the people. Greed, immorality, bitterness – all sorts of sins – haunt those gathered there.

Indignant is how the other disciples reacted when they heard that James and John wanted to assure their place in Christ's presence through eternity. But then, who wouldn't?

 Our Lady of Lourdes - In 1858, in a grotto, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl. She revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception, asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision, and told the girl to drink from a fountain in the grotto. When Bernadette dug at a spot designated by the apparition, a spring began to flow. The water from this still flowing spring has shown remarkable healing power, though it contains no curative property that science can identify. Lourdes has become the most famous modern shrine of Our Lady. |
