Whenever I read a gospel like today’s (Mark 5:21) with healings I always have to wonder if we (meaning my family and I) are doing something wrong.

The Good Shepherd
A couple of weeks ago, my wife Joni showed me a video clip of a Shepherd with his sheep. He was working hard to pull his sheep out of a crevice.

His Hour Has Come
His hour has come. Up until now, on several occasions, Jesus has said my hour has not yet come but now the hour of His Passion has come and he is troubled. But, this is what he came for and he gives a little parable to explain it. "Unless a grain of wheat falls to … Continue reading His Hour Has Come

The Greatest Commandment
St. Bede has a beautiful statement about the 2 greatest commandments of love in our gospel today. He says: “Neither of these loves is whole if it lacks the other, for you cannot truly love God if you do not love your neighbor, nor truly love your neighbor if you do not love God.” Homiliae, … Continue reading The Greatest Commandment
