Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time – Cycle “Aâ€, August 28, 2011
Jesus tells the disciples that He is going to suffer. The one on whom all their hopes are pinned states that His journey will be on the road of pain and death. Despite their protestations, Jesus says that is the way it has to be. They may not be able to understand now, because human

Twenty First Sunday in Ordinary Time – Cycle “Aâ€, August 21, 2011
Jesus, with His friends, has travelled far north into the region of Caesarea Philippi. In this secluded spot He asks them who people think He is. There’s variety of opinions: perhaps He’s John the Baptist, or Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. But what about the apostles themselves: what do they think? It’s

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Cycle “Aâ€, August 14, 2011
The healing of the Canaanite woman’s daughter comes about through the mother’s faithful perseverance. Jesus is impressed with her unrelenting prayer. Her faith is a wonderful example. We may ask why Jesus responded to the woman in the way He did. After all, it does seem, to be honest, brusque, even a tad rude. The

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Cycle “Aâ€, August 7, 2011
In today’s Gospel, the fact that Jesus can command the storm to be still, and can even cross the sea by walking on it, shows only one thing: that He is God. The disciples, even in their panic, would not only see the miracle – they would remember the scriptures. They would know that they

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Cycle “Aâ€, July 31, 2011
In the days of Jesus, the people of Galilee came to realize that there was someone special in their midst. A young man had appeared who, it seemed, had special powers of healing, and who spoke in ways that captivated his listeners. This was someone who just had to be seen, and someone that people

Sunday within the Octave of Corpus Christ – Cycle “Aâ€, June 26, 2011
Today’s feast celebrates the presence of Jesus in the mystery of the Eucharist, His presence among us under the appearance of bread and wine. How is it possible, nearly 2,000 years after His death, that He is with us in this way? How do we know it is Him? When Jesus rose from the dead,

Father’s Day Prayer
Let us pray for all fathers today that they may be more faithful to their duties in the family. Let us pray God to give them the moral strength and the economic wherewithal they need to become good role models that their children can always look up to. And for all kids who lost their

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity – Cycle “Aâ€, June 19, 2011
Today we celebrate the most astonishiong, mind-bending truth of all: that though there is, and can be, only one God, yet in this one there are three persons. We could never have known that had it not been revealed through Jesus. In the Gospels He speaks of Himself frequently as the Son, sent into the

Solemnity of Pentecost – Cycle “Aâ€, June 12, 2011
In today’s Gospel, Jesus appeared to His disciples, who were overjoyed to see Him. Yet each one of them also saw that Jesus bore the wounds of the crucifixion. They saw the marks of the nails and spear in His hands and side. Most of them remembered their cowardice and desertion of Jesus at a
