The kings of the earth rise up, and the princes conspire together against the LORD and against his anointed: “Let us break their fetters and cast their bonds from us!” (Lectionary)
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given [...]
“If our God, whom we serve, can save us from the white-hot furnace and from your hands, O king, may he save us! But even if he will not, know, O king, that we will not serve your god or worship the golden statue which you set up.” (NAB) Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael (called in [...]
Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, my soul; I shall praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live. Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth; that day all their planning comes to nothing. (NAB) On a day [...]
Romans 13:11-12 (RSVCE) Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand.
Mark 12: 29-31 (RSVCE) Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your [...]
Luke 11:23 (RSVCE) He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Matthew 27:26b-27 (RSVCE) whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave
While today’s bible quote has a clear meaning for Bishops, priests, deacons, ministers and teachers. It also has a message to parents, particularly fathers who are the head of their domestic church. Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering [...]
1 Peter 25-36 (RSVCE) Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.
1 John 2:15–17 (RSVCE) Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of [...]
Check out this video commentary about this Sunday’s readings by Michael Barber. Sunday, August 30, 2009: Liturgy Reflection from JP Catholic University on Vimeo.
I am just becoming familiar with LOGOS software. I recently purchased the version designed for Catholics available from Steve Ray at his site http://www.bibletheology.com/. It is very powerful, but perhaps the biggest criticism is lack of Catholic content. I suspect there are several reasons, an important one being critical mass. LOGOS has started an effort [...]
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understanding all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. [...]
“For though the fig tree blossom not nor fruit be on the vines, though the yield of the olive fail and the terraces produce no nourishment, though the flocks disappear from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet will I rejoice in the LORD and exult in my saving God.” Hab [...]
Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the [...]
Today’s reading for morning prayers had a bible passage that is particularly relevant for Christians who blog, participate in online groups, or post comments. Read it. Take it to heart. Ephesians 4:29-32 Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Do [...]
I thought this cartoon was rather humorous, but you know – we Catholics actually have something like this. In fact it is a sacrament. We call it reconciliation or confession. Christ talked about it – it is a gift. You can read about it in Jn 20:22-23, Mt 16:19, Mt18:18. Christ gave the Church the [...]
