We come to this weekend to watch Jesus reinforce what Thomas already knows that Jesus is alive. His profession of faith happens when all of the obstacles are lifted. Thomas had all of the tools. Thomas had the ability to believe. His need was to have the experience for himself not based on the testimony of […]

Jesus is alive, He is Risen! Alleluia…There is nothing more to be said. The rest of this page can be blank. This is His Easter, this is what He did for us. In the midst of our Easter Celebration of the Eucharist, we are invited to renew our Baptismal Vows. This wonderful interchange is to be done […]

The world is turned upside down. We have lived in a time where nothing is the same. The unimaginable led our year to bring us to this point. It began in fear of the unknown. A virus we knew little about challenged our expressions of life. Outside was moved inside; the world was turned upside […]

This weekend we have fascinating scripture readings. The Gospel is very short and direct. The Spirit drove Jesus into the desert. He is driven into a place with no water, the desert.

The last line of the Gospel for today speaks of Jesus remaining outside of towns and staying in deserted places. While He is doing this, it says people kept coming to Him from everywhere.

We find this balance in the reading proclaimed this weekend of Jesus acting upon and responding to the needs of family and friends. He immediately reaches out to Simon’s mother-in-law and helps her up after healing her from […]
