1st Sunday of Advent The First Sunday of Advent can be a little jarring. Culturally we have just celebrated Thanksgiving, and many people like to use this weekend to put up their Christmas tree and start enjoying the spirit of the season. It marks the beginning of “The most wonderful time of the year,” as […]

One of the most vivid and disturbing paintings that depict Jesus’ crucifixion was painted by the German artist Matthias Grünewald in the early 1500s. The painting was created for a large altarpiece, known as the Isenhiem Altarpiece, for the monastery of Saint Anthony in northern France. Beholding the altarpiece, the image of the crucified Jesus […]

A Spirituality of Cooking: Preparing a Eucharistic Meal with Chef James Bartel
How can your table become a place of eucharistic encounter? Eucharist is about sharing food, good food! In sharing food, we share life. Jesus often “broke bread” with people. He ate at so many tables, and each meal became a life-giving encounter for both Jesus and those with whom he dined. Our tables have that […]

13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus said, “she should be given something to eat.” That’s a unique detail in this story of healing and restored life from the Gospel of Mark 5:21-43. Some scripture commentators even breeze over this closing line of the chapter. I, too, may have missed it, save for the fact that […]

From the Editor (July/August 2021)
“What happened to Father Eymard on that hill?” I imagine this must have been the question those closest to the recently ordained Peter Julian Eymard asked themselves. After all, what kind of experience could produce such a sea change in religious outlook? Though considered “holy” by his parishioners prior to this “hill-top” experience, he also […]

Worrying can turn into a full-time profession. All of us have worries, no doubt. Yet, if we’re not attentive to ourselves and what we choose to think about, our worries can quickly multiply. Worries can pile up as quickly as blocks in a Tetris game. If we’re not careful, we can find something to worry […]

It’s not easy to ask for help. Many of us come from a culture where individualism and self-sufficiency are highly praised. Asking for help might be considered a sign of weakness, failure, or inferiority. We somehow expect ourselves to navigate every situation with aptitude and solve every problem on our own. It’s telling that when […]

In our gospel reading today, we encounter Jesus feeding the multitudes. This is the second occasion where Jesus feeds the hungry crowds in the Gospel of Mark (see Mark 6:30-44, Mark 8:1-10). Those of us who have a Eucharistic spirituality will likely be drawn to this reading’s eucharistic aspects. After all, Jesus “takes” the loaves […]

Feast of the Holy Family There’s a show I occasionally catch on National Public Radio called The Moth. The premise of the show is simple. People from all walks of life get up in front of a live audience and tell a significant story about their lives. Sometimes the stories make you laugh or cry. […]

Keeping Time: Jazz and a Eucharistic Perspective of Time
How does the Eucharist shape your experience of time? I have a running joke with a longtime leader of music ministry at my local parish. It started once when we were talking about a Sunday liturgy and she suggested trimming the length of something to make it a bit shorter and move the mass along. […]
