Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
It is every parent’s dream. It goes like this. Your child is a guest at someone’s home for dinner; maybe it’s a friend or a relative. When the meal is over, your child is the one who, without being asked, rises from the table, grabs some plates, takes them into the kitchen and puts them either in the sink or in the dishwasher. What parent doesn’t live with the secret hope that your ten thousand nudges to your kids “pick that up” and “put that in the trash” and “did […]
TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
How many of you were captivated by the search of the submersible Titan this week? As a scuba diver and one who loves the deep blue sea, it certainly caught my attention.

THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
“The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?” (1 Cor 10:16). Last week, we celebrated the central mystery of our faith – the Blessed Trinity.
