Paradox

Although many were there the night Jesus was betrayed there were two major players; Peter and Judas.   Both men had identical experiences with the Savior the last three years but the final outcome for each was as different as night…

What Did You Do with Mercy?

We have been gifted this year by the Pope himself. The gift that he has given us is Mercy, one of those things that is more precious than money. So what have you done with that gift so far? Have…

You Sinner You!

I bet you know them too.  Those acquaintances or relatives who loudly pronounce: “Church, if I went to Church, the whole building would fall down.”  What is that anyway?  Fear, laziness, inflated ego, what?  That quote always seems to me…

…..and They Will Follow

Did you ever wonder? You know, about the people we work with, for and see in power positions every day? I wonder a lot. Some days more than others! I wonder how, about 98% of, these people wound up in…

How Was It?

Finally, the “hectic” has faded and all of the hullabaloo from the Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day corridor has settled down. I’ve got to admit, it’s almost a relief. As vacations wrap up we greet co-workers, friends and family who…

Wilderness Dwellers

Sometimes I think that the circumstances that we hear about in the Bible are simply lost on us because we weren’t there. The atmosphere and history of a place can enrich a story or occurrence that happened in that place….

Advent Opportunity

Most of us are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan and his extraordinary generosity. He is greatly touted because of the service he offers to a foreigner who has been ignored by high church officials. The story mentions…

Not Quite Perfect

We all go through our trials and tribulations. At different ages the trials and tribulations change. It sometimes seems that the more grown up we get, the more complicated our trials get. The more stuff we have, the more things…

Not One Thing

Most of us who are trying our best to follow a spiritual path know the routine. We have heard the “New Evangelization” thing ad nauseum. As Catholics we have even tried, in our halting way, to honor the mission that…

Let Your Hair Down

If we look around our contemporary society it is an easy thing to say that we have simply gone mad.  Courts are acting as Law givers, human parts are being sold as casually as car parts and our society is…

You Saint You

In November our Church calls us to remember the remarkable of the Church both recognized (All Saints) and those unrecognized (All Souls). We set up memorial tables, reverence the book of the dead and attend memorial Masses. All the while…

Breath

I’ve been retired a while now and have been moved to the place where I am constantly reading and seeking all of the “natural” points of view about health.  If you have done some looking at anything that hints of Oriental…

Living Beyond the “I”

As a retired person I have the opportunity to listen to a lot of talk radio.  I have abandoned the public display of human misery that appears with regularity on daytime TV; it gives me a headache!  There is one…

Second Chances and Freedom

Editor’s note: Today we welcome Kathryn Cunningham to the New Evangelizers blogging team! The gift of freedom is the one identifiable privilege all Americans share, despite other differences. Here in the USA we can say, do, and think what we want, within…

Just Like Sheep

A few days ago we celebrated the feast of Christ the King. In the Church year this is always the marker of ending and the time to begin the preparation for the new Liturgical Year, Advent. This Feast, for me…

Waiting for Perfection

“Oh Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” If you are Catholic and you don’t recognize the previous words, to say the least, you…

For Ever and Ever

I am sometimes shocked when I hear people say things like “I want to live forever!” The ones who have that to say are usually young, have no ailments and no real stresses in their life. But “forever”, wow! Times…

What R U Lookin’ At?

In the lessons surrounding John the Baptist there are many things that get our immediate attention as well as some things that don’t but should! Let’s fill in the details a bit about John and his ministry. First of all,…
