We continue the great 50 days of Easter and the continuous reading from the Acts of the Apostles. We hear Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit to preach and transform hearts. Peter came a long way from being “just Simon.” The transformative power of the resurrection got him on board to go fishing and […]

We should recall Ash Wednesday’s words: “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel.” The psalmist echoes God’s willingness to forgive and not mark our iniquities. How are we with others? […]

Not only that, it is the people you would least expect (think those on the other side of the railroad tracks) who are regularly able to acknowledge the Christ and be open to being cured and renewed. Today’s scene became part […]

We also look forward to the Octave for Christian Unity next week, also beginning on Monday. No matter who is inaugurated, do we […]

As we wrap up the Christmas season, our scriptures continue the theme of “epiphany” or manifesting. This short season invites and challenges us to show the incarnation’s power in our lives, especially through the healing presence that Christ made known to us.

Friday, First Week in Advent Author’s note: Out of respect for non-ruler language that is part of the concept of the “kingdom of God,” like other contemporary Christian writers and theologians, I am now using the word “kin*dom” as part of this theological concept that we are all building for a better world. The prophet […]
