EVERYTHING

“They…left everything, and became His followers.” –Luke 5:11 Once St. Peter saw that Jesus, the Carpenter, knew far more about fishing than he did, he realized he didn’t need a boat or nets to have a great catch. All he needed was Jesus. Peter knew how to fish in the Sea of Galilee, but in an instant, he realized that in comparison to Jesus, he knew nothing. In that moment, Peter then knew that nothing brought fruitfulness like following Jesus in everything. The accomplishments of a lifetime of fishing didn’t begin to compare with what could be accomplished through obedience...

You are a temple of God…

1 Corinthians 3:16 Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you? (WEB) I find it interesting that the Apostle Paul seems a little perplexed when he asks this question to the Corinthians church in today’s reading… ‘Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?’ It is like he is saying (my paraphrase) ‘Hey guys, have you already forgotten who you are now? Your actual body is the very temple of the living God and God Himself actually lives in you!!!!’ I don’t...

HOW TO RECEIVE LOVE

“He it was who told us of your love in the Spirit.” –Colossians 1:8 The Colossians received love in the Spirit. We also must receive God’s love, for “the man without love has known nothing of God, for God is Love” (1 Jn 4:8). “If I give everything I have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing” (1 Cor 13:3). We receive God’s love by God’s grace. We can’t “make love.” Love is a gift and the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22). We can’t produce love; we...

Zeal for Father’s house…

John 2:14-17 14 He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 15 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables. 16 To those who sold the doves, he said, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a marketplace!” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.” (WEB) Jesus was always about His Father’s business. His mission...

ON GUARD!

“You are not in the dark, brothers, that the day should catch you off guard, like a thief.” –1 Thessalonians 5:4 How much did you think about the Second Coming of Christ this week? If you’re like many Catholics, the message of His coming again goes in one ear and out the other. However, through His Word and the Mass, Jesus constantly warns us that He is coming again. When you attend Sunday Mass, you hear the message of the Second Coming of Christ at least twice and as many as four times, depending upon the prayers and responses chosen....
