Our Weakness; God’s Strength
Holiness is not being perfect. Holiness is claiming our weakness in the presence of God’s strength.
Homilies
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.
Light is Not Faith
Light does not necessarily lead to faith. For all the brightness of the light, faith is never inevitable.
Surprise in the Ditch
The parable of the Good Samaritan reminds us that life comes both as a surprise and a gift.
Fruit and Fire
The gospel is about fruit and fire. The fruit comes from us. The fire comes from God.
Advent Waiting
Advent is about waiting, waiting for the good things which are to come. But not all waiting is the same.
