In today’s Gospel for Pentecost Sunday, the Lord confers his Apostle’s with his power to forgive sins.
The Upper Room, a Place of Prayer and Peace
“The doors were locked for fear of the Jews.”
When Jesus appears to the Apostles, breathes on them and fills them with the Holy Spirit, he drives their fear away and fills them with peace. More…
You know what really annoys me? This guy.
Yeah! That’s right! We’re Catholic!
Don’t take this with a grain of salt. If we take him at his word and follow his example, we have to be a holy nuisance and annoy the [you-know-what] out of people. Literally.
Yesterday, Pope Francis made it clear. He wants You to be a troublemaker too.

According to a reliable source, who happens to be a good friend of mine, you only get 10 perfect days a year. May 9th in Ottawa was one of those days. The sun was bright, the sky was blue, not a cloud in the sky, 25,000 men, women, children and babies gathered on Parliament Hill and to march on the streets of Ottawa in support of life, Ottawa’s mayor declared the day “Respect for Life Day,” and as if things could not get any better…

Sunday Gospel Reflection for the Sixth Sunday of Easter

A while back, a fellow blogger asked the following question in a comment on my post, “Blessed Are the Merciful, They Will Be Shown Mercy.“
I have pondered the words bless, blessed, and blessing three words we, myself included, use a lot. I decided I do not know the real meaning of them. So I got out the dictionaries and still cannot come up with an understanding for the way we us these words. Can you please help me make a clear meaning of these three words?

I was recently asked what gave me the greatest delight and satisfaction when working with young people. First, I wanted to say, just working with young people. When the youth get motivated, they have the potential to change the world.

An evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul
Recently a friend and fellow blogger asked me a thorny question. I paraphrase:
1 Samuel 18:10 is a perplexing verse: “The next day an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul.” “An evil spirit from God?” What’s that supposed to mean? Does God send evil spirits to us?
The short answer is No. More…
If we take just a couple of words from the Gospel, we can learn a lot. For example, in today’s Gospel, Jesus continually refers to us as “My sheep.”
Commentaries on Jesus’ calling us sheep like to emphasize sheep as stupid, smelly animals. Obviously, that is not the point to today’s Gospel. More…
I’ve already posted a couple of videos from Fr Greg. This one is particularly good, so I had to share it. If this is a taste of the following videos this season, I think there is a lot to look forward to here.
