Baptism of the Lord My thinking is made right The Suffering Servant Song is about someone offering their life for Israel but it is also about Jesus saving us all and it is also about me in my life now [Is 42:1-4; 6-7]. I am God’s chosen suffering servant. Once I see it I burst […]

Even […]

“Come and see” God in all creation I am called to nurture God’s life in me. When I do, I feel content and joyful [1 Jn 3:7-10]; I live in harmony and justice with the earth [Psalm 97] and I allow myself to “come and see” Jesus in all things created especially in the needs […]

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph Eccus 3:2-6, 12-14, Ps 127:1-5, Col 3:12-21, Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23 Families The Holy Family was the perfect family. Our family isn’t perfect. We don’t have perfect children like Jesus. They don’t have perfect parents like Joseph and Mary. Yet I believe we love each other as much […]

Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist 1 John 1:1-4, Ps 96:1-2, 5-6, 11-12, John 20:2-8 Making it personal When I used to meditate on a Gospel scene I usually found myself immersed in the crowd following or listening to Jesus. But one day, during a time of meditation, Jesus suddenly stopped talking, and slowly and deliberately […]
