My Dear People, 

Today we celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, a very important feast that precedes the Sunday Liturgy. Jesus spoke of how Moses lifted up the bronze serpent in the desert so those, if  bitten, would be healed when they looked at it. Jesus made the ... Read More »

My Dear People, 

Jesus was thinking how different the thoughts of men were, from his own, and the reasons so many do not accept an invitation from God. Thus, to the large crowd of people gathered around Him, He began to say convincingly that it was impossible to reconcile ... Read More »

My Dear People,

Jesus Christ entered the home of a leading Pharisee on a Sabbath after receiving an invitation to dine at his house. He had invited Him because he was seeking an occasion to find reason to accuse Him, since the Sacred text says “they kept their eyes” ... Read More »

My Dear People, 

While Jesus was walking towards Jerusalem, a man asked Him if only a few would be saved. Jesus Christ did not answer the question directly, because it was not a question that concerned men; only God. How important is it for us to know if there ... Read More »

My Dear People,

Jesus continues focusing on His coming: “I have come to set the earth on fire.” This fire, different from what Elijah called down from heaven (9:54-55); 2 Kings 1:10), is associated with the Baptism that Jesus still has to receive. The words “fire” and “baptism” are ... Read More »

My Dear People,

My Dear People, 

An interruption from someone in the crowd leads to a change regarding teaching the disciples not “to be afraid” nor “worry” about facing persecution.

My Dear People,

In this week’s passage, Jesus was praying in a certain place, but the focus is not on where it happened but on what Jesus was doing. He was praying. The disciples, who are by now accustomed to seeing Jesus pray, are inspired to enter more deeply ... Read More »

My Dear People, 

Jesus stopped at the home of Martha and Mary to share a meal with them. Mary and Martha, however, had different attitudes about hosting Jesus in their home. Mary’s concern was what Jesus could teach her; and so, she sat at His feet soaking up His ... Read More »

My Dear People of God, 

Today we talk about the parable of the Good Samaritan.  

The scribe attempting to test Jesus and perhaps feeling he might be humiliated amid the populace, who would think him ignorant, asked Jesus: “Who is my neighbor? In other words toward whom would one ... Read More »
