Unlikely Disciples
God will call who God will call. And when God calls us, it does us no good to point to others who have better qualifications.
Fr. George Smiga
Behold the Lamb of God
Calling Jesus a lamb is pointing to Jesus’ sacrificial love by which we are saved. We are called to imitate Jesus action, to live with sacrificial love.
Catching People
We who have been called to believe are called to share that belief. The call and the ability to accomplish the call come together.
A Parable of Love and Jealousy
Today’s parable assures us that with our God there will always be enough love for everyone.
Learning to Bow Down
The stance of a disciple is to bow down before God and to be empty enough to let mercy in.
Discipleship through Checkers
Everything in creation can show us God’s ways. This is true of the three rules of checkers.
Our Weakness; God’s Strength
Holiness is not being perfect. Holiness is claiming our weakness in the presence of God’s strength.
The Beauty Remains
If we see the beauty of the people in our lives, we can push through excuses and become Christ’s servants.
Following the Dishonest Steward
God is always with us, even when the pain we must endure is of our own making.
Trust and Community
When our faith is too weak, we need to depend upon the faith of others. This is why we have a faith community.
The Plow Keeps Moving
We must not look back at past mistakes or failures. Doing so will not only distract us, but possibly harm us.
Patience, Patience!
If we can remember how patient God is with us, then maybe we can find the way to be patient with ourselves.
