St. Jerome
Today’s readings “But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.” These are the words that Jesus speaks to one of the crowd following him today. Get your priorities straight and set out doing the ministry you have been called … Continue reading
Ss. Michael, Gabriel & Raphael, archangels
Today’s readings This is the beginning of a rather angelic week for us Catholics. Today we celebrate the feast of the archangels, and on Friday we will have the joy of honoring our guardian angels. We celebrate the way the … Continue reading

Monday of the Twenty-sixth Week of Ordinary Time
Today’s readings God’s salvation is radical. Zechariah, in the first reading, is speaking to the broken Israel. On account of its sins, it was taken into captivity and exiled to Babylon. The fate they suffered was well deserved. Generations had … Continue reading
Twenty-sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Today’s readings When we think about prophets and prophecy, I think our minds always take us to ancient days. All the prophets we can think of lived many centuries ago: Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Amos and all the rest, right up … Continue reading

Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week of Ordinary Time
Today’s readings I am an over-packer. As hard as I try, I pretty much always pack way too much. So I always wondered why Jesus ordered the disciples to take nothing with them for the journey. No walking stick or … Continue reading
St. Matthew, apostle and evangelist
Today’s readings How wonderful for us to celebrate the feast of St. Matthew. Because Matthew was qualified to be a disciple of Jesus in much the same way that we are qualified to be disciples of Jesus-which is to say, … Continue reading
Twenty-fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time [B]
Today’s readings Nobody ever becomes rich and famous by being righteous. We may never forget who interrupted an awards show or a presidential press conference with an immature comment, but the most truly righteous people will hardly be remembered. How … Continue reading
